Tacos & Tequila
Downtown Traverse City's home for tacos & tequila.
Fresh flavors, front street energy.
We're a family-run cantina bringing authentic Mexican flavors to the heart of downtown Traverse City. Every tortilla is pressed in-house, every salsa is made from scratch, and every margarita is shaken with fresh-squeezed lime.
Pull up a seat on the patio, grab a flight of tequila, and stay awhile. This is where friends become familia.
