Looks like they are finally reopening. Here’s the Eater LA article, and their Instagram has been chattering lately, too.
The new space is on Broadway, between 9th and 10th. Are there any soft open, or Friends and Family reports?
Frankly, I liked how small and focused the original concept was. This new spot looks a ton bigger, and less personal. The menu isn’t on the website, but the decor in the new photos is telling me there will likely be a noticeable price hike.
We just came back from having dinner at Punta Cabras. It was delightful. We had:
Guacamole and Chips
Senor Rockefeller (Oysters Rockefeller with uni. Yum. Full disclosure; I adore uni and think any dish with uni is heaven.)
Beet & Uni Tartare
Costras/Squash Blossom
Crab Luis Salad
Lobster Taco
World’s Finest Cocktail
Date Cake with Cotija
Cheesecake
Coffee
We enjoyed every dish. They all tasted fresh and bright. We thought the portions were generous and the prices very fair considering the pricey ingredients (uni, crab, lobster).
The restaurant actually isn’t that large. It feels bright and clean. We sat right under the pinata heads which were fun. The service was stellar.
Yes, the prices in the taqueria are higher than they were on Pico. However, you get water in real glasses, linen napkins, real plates, etc,
It was just my husband and me. Those dishes were all appetizers or as they call them “Shares”. We didn’t order any main dishes which they call “Plates”. We are pleasantly full, but not stuffed. As you can see, not even close to the whole menu, but it’s early days.
