Aguazul's dishes tend to work better when they're simple and not overwrought.

Credit: Ron Bechtol Aguazul, a new and overtly Insta-ready restaurant on Loop 410, presents coastal Mexican seafood as its focus, with an emphasis on the states of Sinaloa and Nayarit.

To me, this meant I could ignore its superfluous - or at least too tangential - menu categories such as burgers, pasta, pizza, enchiladas, quesadillas, fajitas and sushi.
