Owner/Executive Chef: Dave Sidhu, who also runs the original Playa Cabana down the street and Playa Cabana Cantina in the Junction

The Numbers: • $500,000 to renovate the former Vittorio’s space • $2,300 for the most expensive tequila on the menu, the Gran Patrón Reserva • 55 different kinds of tequila • 8 illuminated signs sourced from Boston, Detroit and Route 66
