Casa Vega

This SFV institution has served families, groups, the after-work crowd and date-night couples since 1956. The dimly lit space spans a main front bar and two separate dining rooms. Spread out on red leather banquettes and dig into Tex-Mex favorites such as sizzling fajitas, queso fundido and Mexican pizza. The vast menu also boasts lobster enchiladas to enchilada and tamale combination plates, and even a burger. To tipple, there's an extensive margarita selection of the spiked house specialty from blood orange-blended to toasted coconut-rimmed. Open late until 1am, the eatery also guarantees a good time.
