Aileen C.Aileen Chu: Order the gooey spicy ham cheese fritters and shrimp with sizzling garlic and chili. Ask for extra bread to sop up the deliciousness of the garlic & chili oil.

CITY GRITCITY GRIT: Ian Coogan is one of our favorite young chefs in the city! Start with Sweet Pea Guacamole & The Basil Jalapeno Marg! Don’t miss Shaved Fluke, Shrimp with Garlic & Chili Oil, or Arroz Con Pollo.

Sarp E.Sarp Erkaya: If I HAVE to rank the tacos I would say Beef (absolutely delicious), Chicken (very spicy and perfectly crispy), and then the Fish tacos (savory). Accompany those with a passion fruit margarita 👍🏼
