Our Top Pick
Baha Restaurant
Mariscos-driven menu built for ceviche + cocktail pairing.
Notable Picks
8.4
A mariscos-forward spot that leans into bold coastal flavors—think bright ceviches, saucy shrimp plates, and seafood that’s meant to be paired with a cocktail. It’s strongest when you order like a table: one chilled starter, one hot seafood main, and keep the drink lane moving.
Must-Try Dishes:
Aguachile, Ceviche, Salmon
What Makes it Special: Mariscos-driven menu built for ceviche + cocktail pairing.
Worthy Picks
#2
Avenida Peru
7.9
A compact Peruvian spot that works best as a guided set of hits rather than a big, duplicate-heavy order. Lead with something bright and acidic, then choose one signature stir-fry or seafood-rice plate to anchor the finish.
Must-Try Dishes:
Lomo saltado, Leche de tigre, Arroz con mariscos
What Makes it Special: A neighborhood Peruvian kitchen that supports a tasting-style spread through classic staples.
7.7
A cute, newer-feeling boba stop that leans into sweet, photo-friendly drinks and a simple dessert-run rhythm. It’s not trying to be a full restaurant—more of a trend-forward neighborhood treat counter where the best experience is ordering one signature milk tea and getting out while it’s cold and balanced. Solid for after-school and post-dinner cravings.
Must-Try Dishes:
Horchata milk tea with boba, Brown sugar milk tea, Thai tea
What Makes it Special: A neighborhood boba counter with a cozy, photo-friendly setup.
