BYOB Mexican diner with rotisserie chicken & tasty mixers
"Cafe Ynez looks like the love child of a New Jersey diner and a Mexican beachside hut: It has wood-paneled walls, turquoise booths, and strings of colorful lights hanging from the ceiling. In addition to the food, which ranges from things like $10 carnitas tacos to a $25 whole chicken, they also make all their own mixers in house. They have carafes of mango-mint margarita mix to pair with your handle of tequila, and there’s also a blueberry-thyme lemonade that you should mix with vodka to make a very inexpensive DIY cocktail.

"Chef Gabriel Romero centers traditional Mexican flavors and preparations at this cozy BYOB on Washington Avenue. Choose from a variety of burritos, tacos, and quesadillas made with carnitas, birria, chicken, and cauliflower (for vegetarians), or try out a main course like the chicken enchiladas or the huevos rancheros. If bringing a bottle of your favorite spirit sounds appealing, the restaurant always has mixers in stock." - George Banks-Weston
