Mexi Mama

$$$
With its huge wrought-iron chandelier and candlelit shrine to St. Theresa, this cheery Mexican restaurant is a feast for the eyes as well as the stomach. The menu includes many shared plates—the spicy pork tostaditas and tortitas de pollo are both recommended. You'll need a cold cerveza (beer) to cool you down.
