THIS RESTAURANT IS CLOSED Libre Mexicana Cantina Restaurant Review:

Décor designed by Alessandro Munge of Munge Studios features colorful cartoon-like caricatures of Mexican freestyle wrestling lucha libre, lime-green upholstered booths, archways and tiles, and wood tabletops. Begin with crispy dynamite shrimp tacos composed of coconut rock shrimp, jícama, avocado and Sriracha cream, or meatballs al pastor with caramelized pineapple, cotija and cilantro. Standout entrées are beer and blue corn-crusted chili rellenos enhanced with poblano crème, corn, cheese, avocado and pico de gallo; and brown rice bowls with marinated black beans, grilled corn, avocado and a choice of chicken, mahi mahi, carne asada or tofu. A vegan section of the menu proposes coconut ceviche with crispy plantains and grilled portobello tacos with roasted corn salsa and poblano. Complementing the cuisine are signature cocktails such as the Chica Bonita made with 50 Bleu Vodka, aloe vera, hibiscus-cranberry cordial, lemon and orange bitters, and a collection of more than 50 tequilas. Finales range from tres leche with lemon curd to a cinnamon churro ice cream sandwich filled with vanilla gelato. Daily happy hour from 4 p.m.-6 p.m. offers drinks and menu items for $6.
