La Sandia

Editorial Review

From chef Richard Sandoval, along with biz partner Placido Domingo (yes, that one) comes the fourth location in what is rapidly becoming a chain. Start with margaritas, chips, and guacamole, and segue into straightforward, authentic Mexican classics like the tacos filled with chicken tinga. You can't go wrong, truly. Also, the tequila list is why humans invented the word 'overwhelming.'
