Dining at La Macarena is as close to a south-of-the-border experience as you’re likely to find without leaving the state. Grab yourself a table, order an icy cold Corona, agua fresca or jarrito and nibble on good house-made chips and salsa. But be sure to order the flautas con guacamole appetizer before you tuck into the bodacious carnitas platter, a serving of chili Colorado, or the excellent shrimp tostadas. La Macarena chef/owner Tomas Mesa specializes in seafood dishes, so the fried red snapper, ceviche, snapper Veracruz and shrimp a la plancha are all excellent … and cheap! La Macarena specializes in very friendly service, too, although the ability to speak some Spanish will help to facilitate your dining experience.
