Gift Tips

  • Use a gift card toward Happy Hour (Mon–Fri 3–5 PM) to sample discounted cocktails and small plates like aguachiles and ceviche.
  • Book a patio table if you want a dog-friendly, sunny lunch or brunch — patio seating is comfortable and popular for daytime visits.
  • Redeem the gift for the tableside guacamole experience — it’s made fresh and is a fun, shareable starter.
  • Try a tequila or mezcal flight with the gift card to explore their large agave selection; consider pairing with fish tacos or striped bass ceviche.
  • Save part of the gift for a brunch visit to order specialty cocktails (like the coconut popsicle Tia Chata) and dishes such as salmon hash or sopes benedict.
