"New to River Oaks District, Ojo de Agua was one of the hottest openings of summer 2023. Lauded for its all-day menu, loaded acai bowls, coffee program, and tropical wine-fueled cocktails, the restaurant has since elevated its bar to incorporate spirits like vodka, rum, and mezcal into drinks like the mezcalina or the acai daiquiri, plus offers extended its hours to include a full-service dinner menu. At dinner, the focus is on traditional Mexican cuisine, with features like red ceviche, hearty with shrimp and octopus; birria tacos made with slow-cooked birria ribeye; and mahi mahi a la talla, a dish native to the city of Acapulco." - Megha McSwain
