Ticoz Resto-Bar

At this self-described "resto-bar," there's outdoor seating on the patio, a cozy bar area with stylish mood lighting, and a sleek dining room outfitted with red leather chairs. It's an appealing atmosphere on weekend nights, when the place is abuzz with customers. While the Latin-themed menu tries too hard, a few offerings are truly solid. Guacammus (a creamy blend of lime-tinged guacamole and garlicky hummus) is a tasty novelty, and the chicken flautas are crisp, with moist filling seasoned with chipotle and cinnamon. If you're in the mood for something sweet, skip dessert and save room for fruit-flavored mojitos, margaritas, and martinis.
