<span>The District, located several blocks  from the ultra chic Design District has been an instant hit with the  locals.  The Buena Vista neighborhood lies just north of the Design  District and is likewise in the midst of a revitalization of sorts.</span>

<span>A  casual mood prevails and this contemporary Pan American  restaurant looks like it has always been here. Just off 2nd Avenue, the  owners have taken advantage of this leafy quieter local to construct a  wrap around outdoor dining patio experience.  But that is only the half  of it.  The restaurant is a restored historic home. Contemporary  art is installed in a room that is a blend of the old and the new;  industrial metal with warm, stripped down brick</span><span> and  wood.  The artist, Juan Rojas has created a dramatic painting in black,  white and greys for the ceiling.  Other works enliven the room  but it is the menu here that creates the spark.  We started with the  tacos, prominently listed on the menu and well worth their placement. Tuna tartar and lobster tacos are a good introduction.  Corvino, cobia  and octopus ceviches are fresh and generous in size. </span>

<span>Chef  Horace Rivadero worked with Douglas Rodriguez, known as the father of  "Nuevo Latino" in America. And Rivadero has assimilated much.  He was voted Food and Wine’s  2012 Best New Chef for the Gulf region.
