"This spot is named after a song written by Cuban composer Guillermo Rodríguez Fiffe that was covered by Mexican rockers Caifanes in 1989, and like the song, this mod Sinaloan cevicheria is a little cumbia, a little rock and roll. Under the shade of salmon-colored umbrellas and a corrugated steel-panel roof, try the Torresona, a show-stopping Sinaloan seafood tower of raw and cooked shrimp, tuna, cooked octopus, and mahi-mahi formed in a ring mold with slices of purple onion, cucumber, and layers of fresh avocado, all bathed in lime juice and salsa negra. A variety of seafood tostadas, fiery aguachiles, and Sinaloan seafood tacos, like a gobernador stuffed with melted Gouda and grilled shrimp, are paired with cold beers and international cocktails such as Old Fashioneds, Aperol spritzes, and espresso martinis." - Bill Esparza
