Suggested Drinks

Margarita: The classic tequila cocktail with its zesty lime and agave flavors complements the smoky roasted cauliflower and creamy avocado crema.

Mexican Lager: A light and refreshing beer balances the richness of the avocado crema and complements the spices in the cauliflower.

Non-Alcoholic Option

Agua de Jamaica (Hibiscus Tea): A tangy and slightly sweet tea made from hibiscus flowers, it provides a refreshing contrast to the hearty tacos.
