Mariscos Colima ~ Korea Town/Wilshire Center

8:41 PM PST on November 12, 2009

Imagine a sunny Sunday morning when you wake up completely hung over, thirsty with a headache. You don't feel like eating at all, but your stomach calls for some attention after all that drinking you've done last  night. You're lying in a bed picturing what food could satisfy your curious state of body and mind...then, you think of Maricos; then, you think of Colima, a local LA chain of seafood joints. BINGO.

You quickly get dressed in whatever you have on hand and make your way to the nearest Colima location. You order Cocktail de Camarones (Shrimp Cocktail), or, for the more adventurous, a dark and rich Levántate Lázaro (Seafood Cocktail), or Tostada de Jaiva (Tostada with Crab), or any other seafood tostadas mixtas. They also have great seafood caldos (soups) and pescados (fish). Plus you can order original Coca Cola, hecho en Mexico.
