"It’s the end of the line for patio stunner Tintorera in Silver Lake. The gorgeous mostly outdoor restaurant didn’t make the year mark, despite having some big backing including Mexico City chef Maycoll Calderon. Despite the hype and hope of the place, it seems Silver Lakers either couldn’t find or didn’t return to the upscale casual Mexican seafood restaurant. The speakeasy-style bar inside offered its own kind of promise, but turnover there — including a very brief stint with bartender Aaron Melendrez — made for rocky going. Google now lists Tintorera as permanently closed, and the restaurant’s Resy page is no longer taking reservations. The place has actually been locked up tight for almost two weeks if also counting the shutters due to last month’s rainstorms, an issue that (obviously) drastically affects the glimmering patio places that populate much of the city." - Farley Elliott
