Whether sipping with a gourmet Mexi meal or imbibing during happy hour, Taco Rosa’s slew of margaritas are perfect for whatever the occasion. The Irvine cantina (there’s also a location in Newport Beach) blends tequilas with fresh fruit juices stiff enough to loosen things up. Like tamarind, horchata, mango or coconut margaritas? Taco Rosa has you covered on all fronts. Try the Noir Frida Cadillac, but drink responsibly, lest a dead ringer for Diego Rivera starts to look appealing through intoxicated eyes!
