Edo Tapas & Wine

On the far edge of Chinatown in a bustling strip mall, Edo delivers Spanish tapas with hints of Asian ingredients in a nod to its locale. On a menu full of don’t-miss items, don’t miss the griddled bikini, smoky montadito and the transcendent arroz meloso con uni while partaking of the playful gin and tonic cart. 3400 S.
