"When: Weekdays 4-6pm The Deal: $8 Cocktails, $5 Beers, $10 Tacos Solazo is an upbeat Mexican spot in Gage Park from the owners of La Josie. The busy space is filled with friendly servers, small groups, lively Latin music, and it’s always a good time. Besides specials throughout the week like “Taco Tuesday” and “Domingueando,” Solazo’s weekday happy hour includes $8 micheladas plus discounted beer, tacos, and snacks. The food is fine, but the main reason to come here is to drink margaritas and/or catch up with friends on their large back patio—preferably both." - adrian kane, john ringor, veda kilaru
