Fodor's Review:

Famed local chef Traci Des Jardins is the culinary powerhouse behind two of the city's best-known white-tablecloth restaurants, Jardinière and Acme Chophouse. But to honor her Latin roots, she chose Mexican hot chocolate over martinis when she opened this casual taquería and weekend brunch spot. The tacos feature handmade corn tortillas and fillings like carnitas (slow-cooked pork), mahimahi, and carne asada (grilled strips of marinated meat). The superb meatball soup and Oaxacan chicken tamales are served every day, and the weekend brings such favorites as huevos rancheros, fried corn tortillas topped with fried eggs and salsa. Seating is simple -- wooden tables and benches -- but a perfect perch for watching gulls on the bay. Plan to eat dinner early; Mijita closes at 7 on weekdays, 8 on weekends.
