What to order at happy hour
Start with the house margarita. The Casero Margarita is our Cadillac — blanco tequila, fresh lime, house orange-rind syrup and Grand Marnier — normally $13.00. Every draft beer is on the happy hour list too, from our San Clemente-brewed Casero Mexican Lager to local IPAs from Carlsbad, Vista and San Diego. Not drinking? Every signature cocktail comes as a $10 mocktail.
Tequila and mezcal fans: ask your bartender about tequila flights. The back bar is stacked with agave spirits, and the team loves pouring a side-by-side.
