Our take: Little Village’s seaside mirage: Mariscos La Playa brings the beach to the barrio. Bring a crisp Mexican lager and dive into an ocean of flavor.

Wine Pairing: For Mexican seafood, bring a crisp Albariño or Verdejo. A dry rosé from Provence also pairs beautifully with ceviches.

Beer Pairing: A light Mexican lager like Pacifico complements seafood nicely. For a craft option, try a gose or a citrusy wheat beer.

Spirits Pairing: Bring a bottle of blanco tequila like Tapatio for seafood-friendly cocktails. For a twist, try a sotol like Por Siempre for its mineral notes.
