"El Carlos Elegante is fun, and loud, so it’s a good pick for casual offsites, The 16-person private room has all the trappings of a luxury hacienda—dramatic art, an ornate chandelier above the massive table—and cold margaritas that’ll break the ice better than any team-building exercise. Leave the menu up to the team here, and they’ll bring in a bunch of family-style platters loaded with wood-grilled carne asada and guajillo chicken, and a few orders of El Machete: a large, perfectly chewy blue corn tortilla stuffed with wagyu and cut tableside. Get access to exclusive reservations at this spot with Chase Sapphire Reserve. New cardmembers get $300 in annual dining statement credits." - kevin gray
