Here's Maradentro, which opened late last week in burgeoning Studio City in Jeffrey Saad's former La Ventura. On the menu, find things like tacos de langosta, hamachi three ways, and a surf-n-turf taco that has both lobster and filet mignon. Prices range $11 to 24, making this a slightly pricier affair than Jesse Gomez's Mercado concepts, which have been pretty much home runs in every location they've opened in.
Drinks might be a white sand sangria, made with El Tesoro reposado and white white, or a smooth Michelada topped with shrimp. The environs, put together by Ana Henton, boast clean lines, brown panels, and brown leather banquettes, making for a similarly clean, but more coastal look than the Mercados. Chef Jose Acevedo, who oversees the culinary operations for Mercado, helms the kitchen at Maradentro.
