"It is always summer at Baha Restaurant, where patrons can enjoy the flavors of the ocean in every form — From the traditional ceviche or the whole grilled fish enjoyed beachside in Mexico to fish sandwiches, tacos, empanadas, and even seafood-stuffed chiles rellenos. Do not miss the Instagram-worthy ceviche towers, a Sinaloan seafood fad that stacks ceviche, seafood, avocado, and a generous amount of condiments into tubular structures. The menu features three options: verde, with aguachile, squid, scallops, avocado and jalapeños; Baha, with shrimp, octopus, tuna, lobster, and squid; and the cleverly dubbed “the Sears Tower,” which layers up shrimp, fish, crab meat, mango, cucumber, and tomatoes which are topped off with a signature spicy red sauce. The restaurant ventures off the water with dishes like its parrillada, a small grill with enough skirt steak, chorizo, chicken breast, short ribs, shrimp, and panela cheese to feed two. Its land-inspired breakfast menu features nostalgic classics like conchas con nata — a decadent cream layer achieved by boiling milk — reimagined with sweet cream generously added to halved conchas to make a sandwich. The eatery also offers a wide assortment of chilaquiles and its take on the rich, traditional corn-based drink, champurrado." - Brenda Storch, Eater Staff
