"Santa Playa’s seafood will ignite a small campfire in your mouth, but thankfully, this casual mariscos restaurant also serves cold beer by the pitcher. Head to this counter-service spot on State Street for a refreshing lunch of lime-cured seafood punched up with salsa negra and housemade chipotle crema, and enough chiltepín to make you sweat. The ceviche mixto tostada loaded with tender octopus is perfect for one and gets sprinkled with black pepper for milder heat. If you’re bringing a crew, order any of the shareable botanas with lots of plump, sweet shrimp." - Sylvio Martins
