"Nido’s Backyard in Oakland is all that you could ask from a margarita garden: It’s breezy, shaded, and painted with vibrant splashes of color, with a long, inviting bar pouring mezcal palomas and savory Oaxacan mojitos all day. The outdoor setting takes some of the pressure off of parents to keep things quiet and contained at the table — and even better, there are yard games. Elotes, fish tacos, and crispy flautas keep the food menu kid-friendly." - Justine Jones, Laura Smith Borrman
