Maggie's Blue Rose

Los Angeles


This new, central spot does Mexican standards and cooking with an island twist such as ancho-chile spiced shrimp served with avocado, greens, cucumber and pickled onion presented inside a (wait for it) hollowed-out half-watermelon. That's alongside award-winning mole-braised duck taquitos and pork adobo with grilled pineapple salsa.

Most meals are under $22; steaks are at the upper end of the price scale.
