1. Chica Bonita
Emboldened by the success of their first Mexican eatery in George Town, Penang, Holy Guacamole's founders opened a sister restaurant at The Square in Publika. With so much going on—think floor-to-ceiling murals, sugar skulls, tiffany lamps, and a spooky mannequin sporting a sombrero—in this neon restaurant, you really can't miss it.
Foodwise, the pork-free menu runs the whole gamut, from antojitos (appetisers or small snacks) to postres (desserts). Less Mexican and more Tex Mex items include the chipotle-spiced burger and a pizza slathered with refried beans.
