Normally margaritas have salt on the rim, ours had tajin instead, a more peppery lime like seasoning, a refreshing change, and the drink was delicious! We ordered the guacamole and seafood ceviche full of the freshest medium-large shrimp and octopus. The guacamole was very fresh. Definitely 5 star food for taste, presentation, quantity, and price. Victor also gave us a lesson in Mezcal and Tequila, then gave us a sample taste of his best tequila. This was definitely worth the stop and highly recommended, we plan on returning!
