(From January 2012) The recently opened cantina is the brainchild of local restaurateur John Geske. In a move away from the formal menu of his other restaurants, Bikini Joe's serves street-style tacos, tortas, and tapatias, along with other casual favorites such as burgers and chicken wings (crispy and spicy, they may just be the best in the city). A hopping bar atmosphere with a great patio completes the scene. |

(From June 2011) Diners entering this quaint neighborhood restaurant are treated to the classy feel of pressed tin ceilings, tiled floors, and col-orful rugs. And the stylish interior is matched with an equally chic and somewhat eclectic menu. The salpicón salad with tender brisket is a favorite, but don’t pass up the panko-crusted fish and chips—tender cod and hot crispy fries. Bar (till 2 a.m.). |

(From February 2012) Authentic Mexican-style street tacos reign supreme in this new restaurant from across the border. Handmade corn tortillas topped with grilled shrimp or octopus and your choice of pico de gallo, avocado, or fresh red or green salsas evoke the tropical flavors of a sunny beach, even in the winter. The tostadas of red snapper crab make another tasty choice, as does an entrée of sashimi-grade tuna. A tiki bar interior lends a festive mood. Bar. |
