Get them nachos ready cuz the weekend is happening now! Another beautiful few days for day drinking at our beer garden. Special lengua taco del dia on the way. We can't wait to get started! 📷 @quigleymarc + @mermaidmagoo

Sneak preview. Tomorrow's special Taco del Dia. Beef lengua, cilantro, and our famous green tomatillo sauce. Tender, fresh and vibrant. Let's down a few of these and get the long weekend started!

How to get through the week 101:
Order a basket of tacos. Variety is key.
Margaritas, more economical by the pitcher.
Consume. Repeat.
