Back when I was living in the East Bay, there was the best itsy-bitsy Mexican restaurant up the street. While their food wasn't anything to write domestic approximately, or their cocktails were absolutely incredible! The drink menu differentiated between straight up tequila to craft cocktails,including a refreshing cucumber lime margarita with a kick. I haven't had the opportunity to go back, so I decided to mix it up at domestic.
