Publico
This spot is Permanently Closed.
The first thing you notice when you walk into Publico is the open kitchen. If you look closer, you’ll see an open hearth and a spit with pork shoulder roasting for the al pastor tacos, both of which are immediate signs that you’re going to eat very well here. This Delmar Loop spot serves Latin-inspired small plates like tostadas and arepas, along with a few larger dishes like a whole roasted fish. Finish with the flan, and then claim a finders fee anytime someone else brings up going to Publico.
