Camarones Enchipotlados is by far the best item on the menu. Go early as they do not take reservations and always draw a crowd on weekends. Brunch is amazing too.

We love Garden Sushi. This is a one person operation and they can get busy (and sometimes run out). This is a sushi truck so seating is limited but easy to take and eat at park or take back to the house.
