"Pubbelly mastermind Jose Mendin has channeled his Puerto Rican roots for his latest restaurant, La Placita. The colorful space is hard to miss with its bright Puerto Rican flag decorating the front of the space. Inspired by San Juan’s colorful Mercado Santurce, which locals call “La Placita,” it recently transformed itself into four different eateries including grab-and-go juice bar, farmer’s market, a taqueria, plus a full-service eatery with plates ranging from $5-19. Available for takeout and dine-in." - Carlos Olaechea, Olee Fowler
