"Located a block from the Los Angeles River in the mostly residential Frogtown neighborhood is Loreto, the sister restaurant of Downtown LA’s Cha Cha Cha and counterpart to breezy daytime spot Mariscos Za Za Za. At night, chef Paco Moran serves some of LA’s best Mexican seafood in a stylish industrial space. Tostadas, ceviches, brochetas, and green curry albondigas made with shrimp and pork shine on the menu; Moran’s Nayarit-style zarandeado is grilled open-faced and served with black beans, rice, avocado, salsas, and homemade tortillas. Moran occasionally hosts special events where diners can taste experimental dishes, like shrimp and lobster dumplings, that sometimes end up on the permanent menu. Whether seated at the winding bar, private dining area, or on the beautifully lit patio, Loreto’s full of dazzling charm and delicious mariscos."
