It’s the perfect complement to the rest of our Mexican Fiesta menu: Roasted Jalapeño Guacamole with Toasted Pumpkin Seeds, Mexican Chicken Tortilla Soup, and Cilantro Turkey Burgers with Chipotle Ketchup.

Inviting kids or non-drinkers? Make a Virgin Treat by substituting more sparkling mineral water for the tequila.
