Flavorful Mexican dishes, street tacos, birria, and margaritas
"Located in a small building decorated with a vibrant mural, chef Leticia Mitchell prepares Mexican favorites like street tacos, tortas, and crunchy taquitos in a ceviche of guacamole salsa, shrimp, and octopus. Try the birria torta, served with savory consomme, or the enchiladas with your choice of six sauces." - Janna Karel
"I found that Leticia Mitchell is opening Letty’s de Leticia’s Cocina (styled also as Letty’s), a 1,842-square-foot fast-casual homage to Mexican dining at 807 S. Main Street under an iconic vintage neon sign, offering traditional tortas, street tacos and a casual spin on her Leticia’s Mexican Cocina with an outdoor patio and eclectic indoor design, replacing the longtime El Sombrero Cafe/El Zaguán site." - Eater Staff
"A fast‑casual outpost launched by Chef Leticia Mitchell in the Arts District that complements the full‑service Cocina restaurants; it represents the chef’s more casual concept alongside her larger Mexican dining operations." - Bradley Martin
"Local restaurateur Leticia Mitchell opened Letty’s De Leticia’s Cocina in the 1,842-square-foot former El Sombrero Cafe space at 807 S. Main Street, a location synonymous with Mexican dining since 1950. Letty’s collection of apertivos, or small eats, includes ceviche, grilled corn, chicharrones, and seasoned fries upgraded with Mexican chorizo, Oaxaca cheese, and topped with two eggs. Customers can order heartier lunch and dinner options of tacquitos, tamales, empanaditas, gorditas, enchiladas, and steak ranchera. Tacos include street-style preparations with al pastor, pork belly, and carne asada, guisados tacos filled with choices of pork mole, birria, or chicken tinga and the Ensenada taco created with seared, or battered, fish and shrimp." - Susan Stapleton
"A forthcoming Arts District homage to Mexican fast-casual dining from chef Leticia Mitchell, occupying a 1,842-square-foot space at 807 S. Main Street beneath an iconic vintage neon sign that has advertised Mexican food on the property since 1950. The concept will expand the chef’s full-service brand into a more casual format, featuring a walk-up counter inside a 600-square-foot dining room, seating for 49 indoors and a proposed seasonally operated patio for 19 out front. Planned offerings include street tacos, tortas, and Mexican corn, with hopes of securing a tavern-limited license to serve margaritas, micheladas, sangria, tequila, and beer. The interior is expected to be eclectic and warm, with dark woods, vibrant colors, teal accents, tapestries, folk art, and nods to the Mexican card game Loteria; an opening date has not yet been announced." - Bradley Martin
