Local story

Named for the Willie record, tacos and tequila with East-side patio gravity.

Pro tips

Build a plate at the salsa bar like you mean it. Good group start that doesn’t force Broadway.

What to order: Tacos + something from the salsa bar + a tequila you can pronounce.

Best time

Golden hour patio if weather cooperates.

Logical combos

  • The Basement East, Beast, indie venue. "I Will Always Love You" is on the side of the building.
  • The 5 Spot, Dive bar with live music every night. No cover most nights.
