After spending a lot of time in Baja California with her family, restaurateur Jenny Rush, who’s behind Santa Monica hotspots Blue Plate Taco and Blue Plate Oysterette, wanted to bring a bit of the region’s flavors back home with her. But she also wanted to go a step further and bring back some of the atmosphere too, and she’s done both with a breezy, lush patio and the Baja-inspired menu that makes up her new restaurant, Tacolina in Silver Lake. “It’s kind of a beautiful oasis in the middle of Silver Lake.

You walk in and the first thing that happens is people’s jaws drop because the garden is so beautiful and unexpected, very lush and open air. And the food is meant to reflect that ambience, as if you’ve gone away on a mini vacation to Baja,” Rush said. Tacolina owner Jenny Rush in her Silver Lake restaurant’s Jaguar Room on Friday, Nov.
