There’s a hot 'new' Latin restaurant set to make big waves in Little Italy, whose look is as fresh as the food they prepare. After closing for a refresher, Sirena has reopened as Sirena Cocina Latina, offering a new design and menu from Chef Jaime Chavez to compliment their perfected plating.
Sirena is know for transforming local and seasonally available ingredients into carefully prepared dishes loaded with vibrant flavors and appearances. New appetizers include rarely seen treats such as Carnitas Sopes and Empanadas, along with Seafood Wings, where crab cakes are crowned with sweet-sour-spicy sauce and habanero parsley aioli. New entrees include their Po’ Boy Chilean Tenderloin and Shrimp Risotto, and a “RawBar,” where Coconut Ginger Ceviche Tostada and Ahi Tuna Tartare can be ordered and enjoyed.
“We want our guests to come back for the food, of course, but it’s also the experience of being here, that we hope draws people back time and time again, says Executive Chef Jaime Chavez. “We want every guest who walks through our doors to feel like family.”
