"Let us tell you about the power of Mariscos San Pedro, a Mexican seafood spot from the team behind Obelix (which, yes, is also on this list). It makes us sweat and cry tears of pineapple broth-y joy with its spicy hibiscus-and-beet-cured scallop aguachile. It turns seafood non-enthusiasts into octopus evangelists thanks to a creative spin on a Sonoran dog. And it has cute cartoon sea creatures grinning from the walls who, after enough mezcal swizzles, feel like they’re part of your fun dinner masquerading as a beachside hang. No matter what dishes make it to the table, expect spicy, bold, and smoky flavors to crash the wildly delicious party. Get access to exclusive reservations at this spot with Chase Sapphire Reserve. New cardmembers get $300 in annual dining statement credits." - adrian kane, john ringor, veda kilaru
