"The Verdict: Bring some friends who love heat, but plan ahead. Mirra’s crispy scallop taco with green curry lasts only two bites, but they’re some of the most exciting bites we’ve had in months. The Mexican-Indian dishes at this Bucktown spot are bright, spicy, and mostly group-friendly, like the mezze with rich guacamole and achar or a lamb barbacoa biryani with juicy beef inside a roti seal. Plan a group dinner here with some pals who like deciphering dishes spice-by-spice. But make the reservation soon, because word is going to get out about that taco.
