Excellent margaritas! We're talking real lime juice. A fave is the top shelf margarita on the rocks. Food is also great - hard to have a favorite but the garlic beef tacos and chicken or pork enchiladas are really good, or try the paella! They have the option of outdoor seating right along Magnolia, and they usually have live music on the weekends too (inside).

So many good things about this place - food, drinks, and atmosphere! Very trendy, very laid back. Indoor and outdoor seating. But most of all - best coffee menu (try the cafe freddo if you like cold coffee drinks!). We also love their kombucha (flavors vary by day). The food is EXCELLENT for both lunch and dinner!

Fave wine bar! They have an excellent wine list at reasonable prices. Very cool setting and vibe! Great pre-dinner drink stop and a good place to chill and watch people go by on Magnolia. They now have a food menu too! They also have a really good appetizer menu - we like the cheese boards. Most of their wines are also available for purchase to take home, and at great prices for retail!
