"Calafia, in the West End, is a chic, pink-lit cantina and fonda that reflects co-owner Dominique Gonzalez’s roots in San Diego, Mexico, including Baja California, and now Maine. Chefs Melody Medina (her cousin) and Quinn Williams met while working at New York City’s Frenchette; they ably translate this heritage through an oft-changing menu that might feature broiled oysters with lime butter, Jonah crab churros, masa-battered local fish tacos, seared halibut with gigante beans and house chorizo, and a must-order goat cheese flan. The cocktail menu leans into agave spirits, with fun originals like Todo Limón, a tequila-spiked version of the popular sweetened condensed milk smoothie blended with whole citrus fruits." - Stasia Brewczynski
