La Selva earns its decades (just over four by our count) of longevity by knowing exactly what it does well and leaning into it. The menu moves comfortably across regional Mexican staples, balancing seafood, meats, and slow-simmered sauces without overreaching. Ceviche and salmon tartare anchor the lighter side, while octopus comes grilled or dressed more delicately. Plates arrive with the expected trio of rice, beans, and salad, but the seasoning does the real work. The table d’hôte offers a reliable cross-section of the menu, while weekday and weekend deals reward repeat visits—or maybe it's because it's an awesome BYOB spot?
