Rustic cantina charm and a fun vibe make this Chestnut Hill eatery a much-loved local watering hole. The Paloma cocktail, with its salt-edged rim and classic mixture of grapefruit soda and blanco tequila, proves that the simplest pleasures in life are the best. Don’t forget Taco Tuesdays, and be sure to ask about the Margarita Club.
