If you are looking for a Mezcal tasting this is the place to go, they also have great food and cocktails. Juana Mezcala always has live music or Dj's, good spot to start the night.

Mombasa has become my new favorite spot to go have a drink and dance, it has a very chic vibe, their mixology is fantastic, music is afro bits, sometimes they have live music in the early afternoon, and Dj's. Food is always good, if you are looking to have some fresh oysters and an aperol spritz, this is the place to go.

If you are looking for tacos, this is the place to go, love fish shack, try the grill shrimp taco, grill cauliflower or the fried chicken sandwich. Great fix if you had a big night out, they open for brunch.

In here you will find enchiladas, chilaquiles, tortas, tacos, all mexican style food and very affordable.
