"If you’re looking for margaritas, totopos, and chilaquiles near Jack London Square, head to this outdoor-only agave bar. The casual spin-off of the now-closed Nido does crowd-pleasing Mexican dishes in a space adorned with murals, lots of cacti, and hanging string lights. Plus, it’s one of the easiest places in Oakland to make a reservation with a big group." - julia chen 1, lani conway
