"The team behind the Veracruz taco mini-empire also operates a buzzy all-day spot across from the park that feels every bit as dreamlike as you’d expect to see in an architectural rendering, complete with smiling families playing with cute puppies that never age. You can (and should) get breakfast tacos here, but you should definitely come for lunch or dinner and dive into the much larger menu of dishes inspired by Veracruz, Mexico. Order the shrimp ceviche and some tender banana leaf pork tamales to start, then fill up on sauteed head-on shrimp doused in a rich and spicy chipotle salsa. There’s also a full bar here, so you can grab a “Muellerita” to really round out the views of the lake at sunset. " - nicolai mccrary, raphael brion
