Los Girasoles (CLOSED)

It’s bright and happy in this McKinley Park spot—there’s even a portion of the dining room made up to look like a tropical living room. To keep that happy vibe going, though, you need to order correctly. That means maybe starting with a quesadilla, slathered with plenty of the fiery salsa verde on the table. And it may also mean starting with the tender octopus ceviche, too. But nothing is going to be as impressive as the grilled langostinos, dusted with smoky spices. They’re a bitch to get out of their shells, but they’re why you came here in the first place, so dig in.
