EAT
• At La Casita, popular for seafood and sushi,
the coconut shrimp, scallops and seared tuna
are standouts. lacasitatapaswinebar.com
• Tequila’s Sunrise is the perfect spot for
getting your margarita on. Located within
stumbling distance of the infamous Hotel
California, this casual spot attracts lively
nighttime crowds. Ask for the Damiana mar-
garita, made with a local herb liqueur known
for its aphrodisiac qualities.

musical refuge for expats and the surfer crowd,
who hang out and compare notes over fine coffee and casual Mexican meals. Check out its
