Mr. Platano Restaurant

Set along North 5th Street, this Latin kitchen pairs plantain-centric comfort plates with street-inspired staples. The kitchen turns out birria tacos stuffed with beef, chicken, or shrimp, crisp tostones, and empanadas flanked by cilantro and spicy house sauces. Cold tropical cherry juice and cakes round out the counter lineup, ordered via an interactive digital menu. While geared primarily toward takeout, a wall-mounted counter with stools gives diners a quick perch to dig in while everything is hot.
