"It can be easy to overlook this laid-back, but elegant Mexican restaurant on a quiet First Hill stretch, but it’s just the sort of spot that makes for a surprisingly intimate escape. The menu blends classic tacos like lengua and adobada with new twists, like the cueritos with soft pork rinds; all approachable dishes, without trying too hard. Plus, the short cocktail list is stellar, with margaritas, daiquiris, and mezcal old fashioneds that have some kick." - Gabe Guarente
