"Chef Carlos Jurado’s restaurant is one of only a few Colombian spots in Southern California. Selva’s dining room boasts a long bar and bright windows; the Colombian hot dog topped with chorizo, charred onions and peppers, cotija, aji mayo, chili jam, and crushed Lay’s potato chips is a must-have on every table at brunch. Other standouts include grilled octopus, aji-amarillo-inflected ceviche, and a scallop arepa, while family-style platters (try the pork chop with blueberry hibiscus jus or seasonal fish in a coconut and aji broth) make this ideal for a big group. Inside, find a loosely Art Deco-style interior design and a bar that beckons from the front." - Mona Holmes
