Why You'll Love It

A margarita made with José? No way. If you’re ready for some really good tequila (plus original, hand-crafted cocktails) Poquito is the place for you. Throw in their killer sangria recipe and zesty small plates, and it’s a must-try.

Festive energy isn’t just some nights at Poquito—it’s every night. The owner, Richard—whose Spanish-Ecuadorian heritage inspired the menu—is often roaming the restaurant, chatting with guests and pouring drinks. And if you’re unsure about the difference between tequila and mezcal (and all the smoky, sultry flavors in between), he’ll swing by your table and happily explain.
