A unique take on Mexican cuisine here, with a menu that includes ceviches, tacos, and large plates to share. Diners have praised the eggs with urchin, the wings, the scallop and beef heart ceviche.
Diners have great things to say about the noodles and rice bowls at the Ivan Ramen Slurp Shop, the tapas from Mullen's El Colmado, and the terrines and sausages from The Cannibal.
The menu has things like duck-stuffed dates, smoked mussels in scallion oil, "dumpling knots" with ground pork, and a whole steamed fish with fennel and black beans. Many large plates are under $20.
