Latin-Caribbean tapas bar with bold, unique flavors and rum cocktails
"Guacaya Bistreaux, a Latin-Caribbean tapas bar and restaurant with a bit of New Orleans flair, offers a menu with four distinct sections: tierra (earth), mar (ocean), ganado (pasture), and despensa (pantry). Chef Pedro Wolcott’s dishes range from curried mofongo (a Puerto Rican dish of mashed plantains) to bright snapper ceviche to jerk chicken with a poblano risotto. Or grab a seat at the bar, which holds seats for walk-ins, for a pineapple-infused gin and tonic. The restaurant accepts reservations on Resy, and new ones are released monthly on the first of each month for the following month." - Stacy Brooks
