Piña Loca is a must-find for old gringos like me. I searched "elota", and Piña Loca popped up, a subterranean cultural hot spot for Hispanic snacks, desserts and beer'n'wine cocktails.
Meet Adriana who opened Piña Loca in 2017. She's a master builder of the fruit and beer concoctions typical of Central and South America.
I had the "Elota en Vaso" (street corn), and "Fruta Picada" (diced melon, mango, and pineapple with peanuts in a spicy marinade). See the pics !!!
Speaking Spanish is recommended but not required--the menus are illustrated with prices marked, and most customers are bilingual (Ha...I'm fluent in Spanish and they were still trying to help me :-)
The entrance is 3-steps down so be careful. Or if you're feeling a little tipsy already, order the."Michelada" (the beer based version of a Bloody Mary), excellent for treating hang-overs...ha!
Piña Loca is that "invisible gate" that will teleport you to Mexico. Maybe you'll see me there.
But don't worry--I got in and out of there for $10 bucks. Even Adriana agreed that was a cheap thrill. She planned it that way...definitely 5-Stars !
