Gift Tips
- Order the table-side guacamole for a fresh, interactive starter — it’s a guest favorite and makes a great shared beginning to a meal.
- Try the fajitas (especially the fajitas for two) for a generous, crowd-pleasing entrée that’s great when gifting a family or couple.
- Ask about live mariachi nights when booking — timing a visit for live music turns dinner into a memorable celebration.
- Save room for sopapillas or tres leches cake as a sweet finish; desserts are well-liked and pair nicely with coffee or a tequila-based cocktail.
- If gifting a night out, include the margarita flight or a signature margarita — the cocktail selection and specialty presentations add a festive touch.
