If you love home-cooked Mexican and fine dining you can find them both at Lauriol Plaza. Rather than draping itself in kitschy atmosphere, Lauriol lets the food speak for itself in an architecturally acclaimed modernist setting. Whether you are attracted or turned off by the crowds braving the no-reservation policy, know they are there for more than face time. The restaurant's popularity has not diminished it's cool because it hasn't affected quality. The chips and guacamole are fresh, the entrees authentic and the margaritas perfectly blended. If you like the frozen variety, try the "swirl" margarita, a popular combination of both lime and strawberry.
