"This Mexican seafood spot from the Taqueria Chingon team had us saying “Is this our new favorite restaurant?” after the spicy hibiscus-and-beet-cured scallop aguachile made us cry tears of pineapple broth-y joy. And by introducing your date to that aguachile, maybe they’ll think “Is this my new favorite person?” But really, any dish might inspire that thought—whether you get a tostada, a smoky bacon-wrapped octopus Sonoran dog, or tacos with striking squid ink-dyed soft shell crab served on housemade tortillas. The busy space always has a fun energy and is perfect for a casual dinner, especially if you’re seeing a show at Thalia Hall next door.
