Fiesta Cantina

San Diego


A tiki-style bar with cheap multicolored cocktails as big as your head. The crowd is as diverse as the music, ranging from Latin to pop and hip-hop. There will certainly be people shaking their stuff on the small dance floor. Taco Tuesdays (all you can eat for $6) and two happy hours daily (4pm-8pm; 10:30pm-12:30am) are a big pull.
