"North Texas meets SoCal at this lively, party-ready cantina in Plano’s Granite Park. It’s a watering hole meant to feel like a beachy vacation, with shareable punch bowls, a breezy patio, ocean blue tiles, and a bar shaped like a wave. The Happy Hour here is excellent—grab the Flamin’ Hot Cheetos Elote and a $2-off cocktail, like the Yacht Rock Rita. You can have dinner here too: tacos with carnitas or beer-battered fish, though we like the lighter options, like the SoCal Poke Bowl with tuna and salmon in a soy-miso mayo, the richness tempered by tingly pickled ginger. We haven’t been here yet, but want you to know this spot exists." - Erin Booke
