As one of Bon Appetit’s best new restaurants of last year, it’s no surprise that this Barbacoa joint made its way onto this list. What is surprising, however, is how down to the earth the staff and the eatery itself remain even after such praise from on high.

Plan your visit beforehand, because this Pittsburgh joint’s reservations tend to fill up weeks in advance (one particularly enthusiastic fan has once-a-month table bookings a year out).
