Tía Dora

Tía Dora is a small, homey Mediterranean restaurant that’s right across from the entrance of Ocean Park. Show up with a few friends and plan to share a little bit of everything—the baba ganoush with homemade pita, cauliflower wings, lamb kofta, and watermelon sangria are all excellent choices. Tia Dora is pretty easy to miss, so look for the black building with plants on the wall and a mural depicting a turtle—it’s hidden right to the side.
