Talk about fast! SWK, the swanky contemporary American joint, closed on May 26, but this Latin-flaired spot opened in its place on Friday. Jona Silva (ex-Savor and Chilpancingo) is offering a blend of Spanish and New World cuisine. BELOW average. Meztiso boasts that their table-side quacamole is to die for. I found that statement to be farther from the truth small portion, too many large chunks of avocado, we needed to add salt and we were not able to see the dip being made like at



Adobe. Instead, our view was blocked by a large cart with a big tip jar. The food is below average and definitely needed to be nuked a little bit warm. Highlights great sangria and nice bar area. - Nicole Y, 07/11/2005
