"Happy hour, tacos, and mezcal is the daily Holy Trinity. This Point Breeze cantina should be your go-to for $8 margaritas and tacos de trompo—their smoky version of al pastor. The charred yet juicy pork is well-seasoned and comes with crunchy onions, pineapple, and cilantro. The colorful tortillas are about as small as a coaster so you’ll need a few, but they’re made in the oven to get crispy and they won’t fall apart when you pick them up. When you’re in need of an affordable place to catch up with friends over tacos and rare mezcals, this is the laid-back place to do it." - alison kessler, candis mclean
