Mariscos Za Za Zá

If you love seafood and have two hours to spend on lunch, make a beeline to Frogtown's Mariscos Za Za Zá. Walk through the side alley next to Loreto and find its more casual daytime alter-ego, which offers counter service, a tightly curated 10-item menu and a tree-lined outdoor dining area ideal for families and dogs. During our visit, I loved the zhuzhed-up yellowtail tostada topped with tobiko mayo, bonito flakes and capers and the cheesy swordfish al pastor taco. I also recommend the ceviche-topped spin on Tijuana-style tostilocos and Una Costra Por Favor, an open-faced taco that combines two types of cheese, shrimp and avocado for one seriously decadent bite. The pleasant (for Frogtown) surroundings all but guarantee heavy weekend crowds and a stressful time parking, but if you can swing a weekday visit, you'll have the place mostly to yourself.
