Peep their veganizable menu items indicated w/a V (not obvious at first). At least 10 of their dishes can be made with plant-based ingredients. Try vegan enchiladas (pictured) w/serraño 🌶s ‼️

Taco Tuesday's. We love this time of year to enjoy the view, savor an Olitas margarita (not too sweet!) and their black bean tacos. Order a side of tortillas to round out the generous servings

Amazing view. Tuesday night is Locals Night. $6 tacos and margaritas or draft beer, and parking is free for 2 hours. Make sure to get the parking validation.

The crab is delicious. The Margarita's are strong...the bartender has a heavy hand but that makes the drinks even more worth it!

Best tacos & margaritas on the central coast! Best staff and the view from the top of the wharf can't be beat! Fish no sour for me ;-)

If you plan on eating a super burrito, DON'T eat anything else. Still good for however much I actually ate.

Have tried to eat here 3 times; horrible air here and so I've never made it past the door. They need a much better A/C system here!
