| - The ambiance of Leticia's Mexican Cocina is modern Mexican, open and comfortable. The service is attentive, quick and responsive.
We started off with margaritas and had problems getting a decent drink no matter how much tequila was added, it was not until the manager intervened that I finally got a good specialty margarita (la Fresca) on the second try. A good friend of ours pointed out to the manager, that any good Mexican restaurant must have a decent margarita. We've eaten at the original location many times and had great drinks and meals.
The meals were exceptional except for the tortillas, for handmade they weren't very tasty or appealing. My two favorite traditional Mexican restaurants both make their tortillas in house and in plain view. So I really looked forward to these but was really let down.
We ordered the shrimp fajitas and seafood molcajete De Mariscos. The shrimp fajitas were plump, delicious, and perfectly cooked. The molcajete came bubbling and steaming to the table. The seafood included lobster, clams, mussels, prawns, and fish were flavorful, tender in a rich red broth that was spicy and satisfying.
The accompanying white rice casserole came stone cold and congealed not warm, and addictive like at the original location. I don't think we'll be back until there's some improvement in the drinks and sides.
