Why We Like It

You’ll be hard-pressed to find better mariscos in L.A. You can always go for the counter-order-sit-down experience; every bite of aguachiles, taco de pulpo, and cocktails will be spot on. But the twice-a-week, eight-course tasting menus genuinely show the breadth of chef Gilberto Cetina’s magic with incredibly fresh seafood and locally-sourced ingredients.
