The surrounds are industrial and rather bleak, but get up close only to discover this veritable mirage of a spot. Settled on a bright corner, it is a pulsating retreat that virtually lures you in with hospitality. If that's not irresistible, the interior features a series of intriguing murals by street artist, Senkoe; aqua-blue chairs, cement floors, and a DJ booth complete the festive look.
Diners are attended to by a small army of smiling servers. Pan-Mexican dishes are on the menu, with such popular plates as a whole-grilled pineapple stuffed with tender octopus, chipotle-cream sauce, and Chihuahua cheese; or a spicy and smoky seafood paella. This is food that's clearly well-rounded in its flavors, impressive to look at it, and captivating to taste.
