"Opened in July by the family behind La Adelita Cocina y Cantina, this lively Mexican eatery and bar in Bonnie Brae already has a loyal following who make it feel like the neighborhood place to be as they gather around cocktails, appetizers like queso fundido and shrimp aguachile, and molcajetes brimming with goodies (take, for example, the Morisqueta featuring tomato- and garlic- braised pork ribs, black beans, rice, green onions, and two cheeses). Reservations for parties of six to 16 are a good idea, though walk-ins prepared for a possible wait are certainly welcome." - Ruth Tobias
