        Not your local taco stand

        This is a very smooth operation, a Mexican restaurant with lots of style, great drinks and intriguing menu options, and very pleasant service. It's just around the corner from Woolly Mammoth Theater, so it's a great place for a before-the-play snack or an after-the-play dinner. Try the scallops appetizer. For happy hour from 5 to 6:30 every day but Saturday, they have $4 martinis and $2 tacos that are among the best in town.
