    We recently visited Citrico cafe on Taco Tuesday and had an amazing time! The $3 chicken tacos were delicious, paired perfectly with a refreshing mezcalita (frozen mezcal). But what really stole the show was the live music - it was incredible! We definitely planning to return, especially for Salsa Night! The vibrant atmosphere and great entertainment make Citrico Cafe a must-visit destination.

    This restaurant offers a delightful dining experience before or after a performance at BAM. It’s a few blocks from BAM. There is outdoor seating. We started with spicy guacamole while the mixed ceviche was a hit with our granddaughter, who couldn't get enough of it (it wasn't quite to my taste). Our granddaughter enjoyed her steak tacos, and my pork tostada—which came as a pair—was delicious. My husband's mixed tacos were also delicious. The atmosphere is charming and the staff are attentive. We recommend this place for a delicious meal in a cozy space.
