"A new Mexican restaurant and bar that just landed in the Gaslamp Quarter at the corner of 5th and K is led by a team that includes executive chef Kevin Templeton, Aron Langellier, and Dave Jones, core principals behind downtown fixtures like Barleymash, Smoking Gun, and Spill the Beans, in partnership with industry veteran Todd Brown of Bub’s. Hasta Mañana Cantina opens Friday, May 31 with a menu of coastal Baja cuisine that centers around line-caught sustainable seafood and meats braised in-house. Colorful murals frame its central bar and roomy dining area. A dimly lit tequila bar called the Monkey Bar holds court in the back of the space." - Helen I. Hwang
