GREAT happy hour! Select $5 cocktails and discounted apps. Love what they did to the building and how they expanded and integrated the outdoor space. And I'm super happy about the parking lot, which is well lit and easily walkable. (I HATE forced valet and I'm so glad they didn't take that route!)
Here's what I thought about the items we had on our happy hour:
~ trio of salsas ($5) all were heavy on the lime; we liked the variety and the chips
~ elote ($5) seemed equivalent to 1 ear of corn, cut into thirds, which help with sharing. The aoli was more apparent than the cojita -- messy but good flavor.
~ green chile pork ($7) delicious - not enough tortillas! It was very soupy so it was hard to stretch the tortillas by packing them with the chile. Fortunately, the chips from the salsa trio were able to get the job done!
~ carnitas tacos ($7) the shredded pork melted in your mouth! Great flavor!
~ carne asada tacos ($7) excellent quality steak, still pink, super tender! A personal favorite!
~ El Santo ($5): think margarita meets a whiskey sour. Would definitely get this again!
We didn't get the nachos but I'm already planning my return -- they looked great!
The cocktail menu had a lot of drinks on it that would make a good nightcap.
The guys did it again with this upscale neighborhood tavern! So grateful to have them in the neighborhood!!
