La Serenata draws inspiration from El Día del Amor y la Amistad (The Day of Love and Friendship), which is the Mexican tradition that celebrates not just romantic partners, but friends, chosen family and community. Photo: Courtesy of Camille Maede; courtesy of NiceDay
Visit La Serenata, a new Valentine's Day pop-up bar, at Hermanita inside El Malo Tacos in Plaza Midwood.
What to expect: The pop-up has themed drinks, a new cocktail menu, plus food specials.
On Saturday, Feb.21, it pivots for one night to Noche de Despecho — a heartbreak-inspired evening rooted in salones de despecho.
There will be dancing as a live DJ spins English and Spanish heartbreak anthems.
