The Bar

Margaritas, by the glass or the pitcher.

A full bar, a tequila shelf worth reading through, and a short wine list — plus a Mexican coffee for after.

The Patio

Most people ask to sit outside.

Bamboo along the fence, roses, umbrellas over the tables, and lights strung overhead once it gets dark.
