Absolutely love De Nada Cantina! Super fun spot in a restored green house with authentic Mexican decor, beautiful candles and a great vibe. They have strong and tasty margaritas and my favorite taco's in town with blue corn tortillas from Oaxaca, Mexico. Highly recommend visiting this spot and it's open till late most days of the week.

We love Suerte when wanting a little more upscale, sexy and modern Mexican food experience. Their Suadero tacos and Don Julio are personal favorites. I recommend making a reservation ahead of time if you don't want to wait.

One of our all time favorite spots- Licha's has a charm all it's own. Located in an old house on E6th, Licha's will provide you authentic Mexican food (not tex mex), great margaritas and some of the best chips and salsa in town. They have lots of outdoor seating and a cozy, candlelit space inside. We love the bone marrow tuetano's and the cochinita pibil.
