AGUASANTA

Restaurant · Carrollton

"Aguasanta is serving up bold flavors across a surprising menu of dishes melding inspiration from around the globe and artful cocktails in a stylish, modern Oak Street space. It’s from Luis Nava, who opened popular Mexican restaurant La Tia Cantina in Metairie a few years back, in partnership with Leo Vasquez and Ulysses Campos. The raw bar menu mixes Mexican, Italian, and Japanese flavors with dishes like octopus carpaccio, pineapple aguachile, and salmon tartare, with the rest of the menu bringing in similarly surprising influences: There’s brisket bao, crab arancini, bruschetta, birria-style lamb, Cantonese fried rice, and more. It’s open for dinner Monday through Saturday." - Clair Lorell
