Agua Verde Café
Baja California Mexican cuisine and a laid-back vibe define this casual spot, done up in bright, beachy colors, with a deck overlooking Portage Bay. Fresh fish tacos and mangodillas (quesadillas with mango and poblano chilies) are menu favorites; whatever you order, be sure to pay a visit to the salsa bar. In good weather, the lively deck is the place to be—and it's a challenge to nab a table. Agua Verde is perched waterside on a street surrounded by quirky boat-repair shops; in the warmer months, you can rent kayaks under the restaurant and paddle around Portage Bay.
