Thanks for the great recommendations! I printed out the menus for several of the places mentioned and let hubby decide. He picked Salpicon.

The food was incredible. The spiciness was at the perfect level and mixed deliciously with the flavors. We had the Sopes Rústicos, enchiladitas de pescado, and the langostinos poc-chu.

Side note story: When I made the reservation for Salpicon at OpenTable.com, I put in the notes that it was my hubby's birthday and if they did anything special for birthdays, we'd appreciate it, as long as it was relatively quiet. So when they brought us our dessert, a young man came over with a dessert plate with a tiny candle burning, put the plate down, then leaned over our table and very softly sang Happy Birthday to Jason, in kind of a whisper singing voice. It was really endearing and probably one of the cutest things I've ever seen done in a restaurant.

We LOVED Salpicon, so THANK YOU to everyone who recommended it!!!
