Margarita's

Tex-Mex is the name of the game here, and in a very good way. Even the opening salvo of golden corn chips ($14) in a blood-red salsa of tomato, chile and coriander deserves a little cry of joy. Highlights include the portobello mushrooms ($28) sautéed in a heady garlic butter sauce; and pillowy homemade enchiladas with USA beef chuck ($28) or a chicken option that comes with double-cooked beans for a richer flavour. Probably the best seats in the house are out along the wide, breezy verandah, while tossing back a lethally potent, chilled margarita ($21) – the restaurant’s namesake staple cocktail.
