Fodor's Expert Review Sangrita Grill & Cantina
Editor's Note: This location is no longer in operation.
The menu categories at Sangrita may be familiar, but the authentic ingredients and deep flavors are new. The guacamoles and salsas—all house-made from scratch—come with a bottomless basket of corn and flour chips. The carnitas braised in duck fat are stellar, and the avocado fries with cilantro pesto aïoli are addictive accompaniments. Seafood fanatics will love the chipotle-steamed mussles and octopus carpaccio. Save room for the unique flan for dessert. The cocktails prominently feature tequila and mezcal, and the wine list is affordable. The partially painted wooden tables and chairs are intriguing, and the service is delightful.
