"An effortlessly cool neighborhood seafood spot with white plastic chairs under the trees, laid-back sidewalk seating, and a convivial, no-rush vibe ideal for sipping micheladas and lingering. The menu leans Baja-ish—light, tempura-style seafood on excellent blue corn tortillas—but the most memorable item is the taco de chicharrón y pulpo, which pairs fatty, crispy pork belly with tender grilled octopus and bright salsa verde. Other highlights include a tostada de chile morita with smoky peanut salsa and cucumbers and a flavorful aguachile de chile morita that offers a deep, smoky heat." - Rick Martínez
