"Lona isn’t on the level of Bourbon Steak or Catbird Seat when it comes to fancy dinners, but it’s the city’s best new option for special occasion Mexican. You’ll find it in the former Makeready spot in the Noelle downtown—a dimly lit dining room that could easily be mistaken for any place in Mexico City. A second or third date, executed in hushed tones, is definitely the move here. Split bites of a chipotle-spiced lump crab guacamole, a respectable queso fundido, and a well-seasoned steak tampiqueña with an undeniably fantastic version of refried beans." - ann walczak, jackie gutierrez jones 2, adam sloan, carlo mantuano, jackie gutierrez jones 2, jackie gutierrez jones 2, carlo mantuano, adam sloan, ann walczak, ann walczak, ann walczak, jackie gutierrez jones 2
