Great Tacos, Forgotten Wine List

The wine list here feels like an afterthought stapled to the back of a very good tequila menu. Five by-the-glass options, a handful of bottles, and exactly one producer name worth mentioning — Austin Hope. This is a margarita bar that also sells wine, and it's not pretending otherwise.
The list leans hard on safe, recognizable territory: California reds anchored by Austin Hope, plus a trio of Italian crowd-pleasers — Pinot Grigio, Moscato d'Asti, and Prosecco. There's no depth here, no surprises, and no indication that anyone spent more than an afternoon building this list. Gaps are everywhere: no Rosé, no domestic white, no anything that might make a wine-focused diner lean forward. It's a functional list for a restaurant that rightly knows its strengths lie elsewhere.
Five pours, which is about the minimum you'd expect anywhere. The options shadow the bottle list almost exactly — you're choosing between the Italian bubbles and sweetness lane or California red, full stop. Rotation appears nonexistent; what's on today is almost certainly what was on six months ago.
Moscato d'Asti — price unknown
If you're going sweet and light — and table-side guacamole and street tacos honestly don't demand much more — Moscato d'Asti is the least punishing option on the list. Low alcohol, a little fizz, plays nice with spice. It's doing exactly what it needs to do.
Austin Hope Cabernet Sauvignon
Most people come here for tequila, so Austin Hope Cab is sitting quietly unnoticed. It's a well-made, Paso Robles bruiser that actually holds its own — if you're skipping the cocktails and want something with real presence, this is the only bottle on the list with genuine character.
Prosecco
Generic bubbles at a Mexican restaurant is a hard sell at any price. Without knowing the markup, the category alone is a pass — Prosecco at a chain-adjacent tequila bar is almost never a well-sourced pour, and the margarita next to it will beat it every time.
Austin Hope Cabernet Sauvignon + Fajitas
The char and smoke from a sizzling fajita platter can actually stand up to a big Paso Cab. Austin Hope brings enough fruit weight and warmth to hold its own against the peppers and grilled meat without getting lost.
❌ The Bottom Line
Come for the margaritas, the table-side guac, and the fajitas — the wine list is not the reason to be here. If your group insists on wine, Austin Hope is the one pick worth your time; everything else is just filler.
