    The neighborhood feel and selection of beers, ales, porters, stouts, sours, and ciders make a trip to this boisterous beer garden a fun occasion, with the garlic fries, fresh pretzels with mustard, old-fashioned hot dogs, and other small bites a definite bonus. A 40-foot cargo container holds the bar, and a 20-footer contains the bathrooms, with the rest of the setting alfresco.

    Flavorful, colorful, fruity cocktails, some served in hollowed-out pineapples or watermelons, are the specialty of this bar and restaurant whose equally rich-hued decor and corrugated-metal ceiling intentionally evoke similar spots throughout Mexico. While sipping sangria, a cerveza, one of several margaritas, or a Tijuana mule (made with tequila and delivered in a 128-ounce copper mug, it serves five), you can nibble on street tacos, posole, elote (corn on a stick, rolled in mayonnaise and topped with cheese and spices), and other small plates.
