Ceviche Karina's—a signature toss of fresh seafood in citrus and spice—anchors the menu at this multi-level cantina in the heart of the Gaslamp Quarter, where Mexican art murals climb the walls and live music spills onto the outdoor patio. Part of the family-run Karina's Group since 1981, the restaurant pairs grilled langostinos and prime-cut steaks with artisan tequilas and oversized margaritas. The energy peaks after dark, when the full bar and rooftop scene turn Fifth Avenue into a fiesta.
