Ada Street
8.6
A candlelit, townhouse-style dining room hidden off a warehouse-lined stretch, built for small plates, cocktails, and a slow, date-night pace.

Must-Try Dishes:
Amalfi Coast anchovy focaccia, Tagliatelle bolognese, Chicken wings
What Makes it Special: A hidden, cocktail-forward townhouse room where small plates feel deliberately composed.
#2
Un Amor
8.3
A West Town Latin brunch spot where burritos feel like composed plates—rich proteins, bright acids, and well-balanced sides instead of a generic wrap-and-go build. It’s best with a reservation mindset and a shareable table so you can split one burrito-style main plus a sweet centerpiece. :contentReference[oaicite:1]{index=1}
Must-Try Dishes:
Breakfast Burrito (seasonal specials), Churro French Toast, Steak & Eggs-style brunch plates

A riverside, party-forward mariscos room built around shareable coastal Mexican seafood, tequila-driven cocktails, and a high-energy rooftop/patio scene.

Lobster empanadas, Piña rellena (stuffed pineapple with octopus, lobster & shrimp), Build-your-own mariscada platter
What Makes it Special: Coastal Mexican mariscos with a waterfront, nightlife-leaning rooftop energy.

Nettare
7.8

A wine cellar–meets–Parisian bistro concept where the draw is bottles, boards, and easy French-leaning comfort bites. It shines as a linger-with-a-glass spot—especially when the patio is in play—and works best when you order for pacing: one board, one salty snack, then let the wine do the work.

Diego
7.7
A cocktail-led Mexican spot where the seafood shines most in ceviches, tostadas, and fish-and-shrimp tacos that pair naturally with the bar program.

Ceviche, Tuna tostada, Gobernador taco (shrimp)
What Makes it Special: Seafood-leaning Mexican plates built to match a serious cocktail program.
7.7
A Japanese kissaten-inspired listening bar where the vinyl program is the main event and the ramen plays a supporting-but-satisfying role. Treat it like a cocktails-and-bites night: one ramen bowl for the table, one standout appetizer, and settle in early before the late-night energy gets loud.
Must-Try Dishes:
Spicy red miso ramen, Tokyo shrimp, Collard greens 'soul rolls'
What Makes it Special: A vinyl-first listening bar with Japanese-adjacent ramen and a late-night feel.
