"The dining room at Otra exudes warmth and charm, with dim lighting and turquoise papel picado swinging from the ceiling. The menu lends itself well to date night out, leaning heavily into seasonal vegetables prepared with animal proteins serving as supporting cast members rather than the stars. Don’t miss the creamy refried black bean dip with housemade chips and charred cabbage, a menu staple brightened with chile-lime de arbol. For a main, try the roasted mushroom tacos." - Lauren Saria, Dianne de Guzman
