El México Moderno
7.7
El México Moderno is a late-night Mexican bar and nightclub that opens only on weekend nights, running to 4–4:30am with drinks, dancing, and bar-style Mexican plates. It’s more about the music and atmosphere than a full sit-down meal, but it fills a specific niche for Spanish-language nightlife with food available.

Steak Tacos, Chicken Nachos, Enchiladas Verde
