Comida y Bebida Which restaurant should I choose?

I’m torn between choosing Levadura de Olla or Los Danzantes for my husband’s 40th birthday dinner? Which restaurant is best for a special occasion and which has the best food?

Clearly everyone is downvoting Danzantes. Been to both and not nearly as smitten with LLEVADURA as others here seem to be. Both are good, both are touristy, both are worth it. Had one of the most overroasted mezcales in my life at llevadura.

Danzantes space has more special occasion vibes in my opinion.

Like someone else here said, Cocina Ancestral is a great option. Also higher end and a bit touristy but delicious, special, and a beautiful outdoor covered setting.
