Fodor's Expert Review Nopa

This is the good-food granddaddy of the hot corridor of the same name. The Cali-rustic fare draws dependable crowds regardless of the night, with attractions including a beloved Moroccan vegetable tagine; crisp-skin rotisserie chicken; and a juicy hamburger with thick-cut fries. Thanks to an excellent beverage program, lively bar, and high ceiling, the energy is always high—as are the decibel levels.
