La Calle Doce

For 30 years the staff at this charming, rambling Craftsman with an enchanting courtyard and front-porch dining has been serving up delicious Mexican seafood dishes. You may want to start with sopa de pescado—cod stew with tomatoes, onions, potatoes and cilantro, Tampico Bay-style. Move on to a Spanish favorite such as paella or try a Mexican dish like the chile relleno de mariscos—poblano pepper stuffed with shrimp, scallops, octopus and fish.
