There’s more than pork at the purple pig, you can also feast on a menu of Mediterranean inspired delights that are sure to satisfy. The atmosphere is bustling and lively.

Estrella Negra

A family owned business, Estrella Negra offers a wide variety of traditional Mexican dishes paired with a few surprises. Salsas are made fresh in house. The décor is wildly eclectic, featuring works from local artists, and the music creates a lively vibe. A wonderful BYOB restaurant.
