This airy Avalon go-to is made for sipping tequila cocktails, feasting on fresh seafood and kicking back with mates. Located just metres from the beach, this spot is popular — and for good reason. It's got that casual northern beaches vibe, but it's the next-level Mexican fare that'll keep you coming back.

The restaurant champions locally sourced produce and seafood and fresh, with a menu inspired by coastal Mexico. So, by no means is this your standard Tex-Mex affair.

Kick things off with kingfish cured with lime, picked radish, avocado and pico de gallo ($18); charred sweet corn with parmesan cheese, grasshopper salt and guajilo truffle sauce ($10); and soft shell crab tostadas ($16). Then, order some tacos — choose from marinated chicken, fish, pork belly and agave jackfruit — and some mains like carne asada (grilled steak) for $39, octopus with dutch carrots ($36) and whole baby snapper ($34). There's also the $69 'Feed Me' menu, which is perfect for get togethers and birthday lunches — and you can opt to pair your meal with either tequila ($40) or mezcal ($65).
