    We had the shrimp tempura tacos and the tlayuda and they were both very tasty, but the dishes are definitely not very large so be prepared to order more than one (and spend about $50 per person) The atmosphere is pleasant and pretty and always buzzing. Tried the "La Clandestina" drink and the "Naked Dani #3" (rubber duck one!) and they were both tasty. Service was prompt and friendly. Make a reservation because there'll likely be a wait otherwise!

    If you've had authentic pork street tacos and elote before, you will know that $22 and $16 for each respectively is ... a bit steep. I recommend this restaurant in spite of its prices. A lot of expensive restaurants can be gimmicky not worth it, but at Colita you will find genuinely creative and delicious riffs on authentic Mexican food. A dimly lit tropical ambiance, delicious and well-presented cocktails, and great staff makes Colita stellar for date night. p.s. Everytime I come here I sit at the bar - I like their bar ambiance. p.p.s. if it's date night for you, drive to lake Nokomis and rent a swan boat after!
