Taqueria La Lagartija

Taqueria La Lagartija serves “real-deal” tacos with fresh ingredients in a casual, upbeat environment. Everything is made to order.

BRGRBELLY

Incredible burgers are on the menu at BRGRBELLY (previously Leadbelly). Fresh meats are ground daily, bread is fresh-baked, and the fries are hand-cut. The burgers are made with a unique selection of toppings and ingredients. Enjoy a rock n' roll ambiance and a craft beer as your burger is cooked to order.

EL Ideas

EL Ideas makes fine dining fun. This unique dining experience is unpretentious and surprisingly creative. An unforgettable ten-course tasting menu is presented by the kitchen team in an exciting and playful way. Guests are even encouraged to leave their table and visit the kitchen to see what is happening throughout the evening. A BYOB restaurant.
