"Vecina means “neighbor” in Spanish, an apt name for this lively neighborhood hangout offering great cocktails and a range of Latin-influenced dishes. Menu highlights include Peruvian-style hiramasa ceviche; pork belly tacos; mesquite-grilled prime carne asada rib-eye; and an outrageous carnitas empanada, stuffed with Duroc pork confit and manchego cheese, then garnished with onion marmalade and salsa verde. Grab a seat at the bar for good people-watching." - Mcconnell Quinn, Chris Malloy, Nikki Buchanan
