Paso’s wine country is one of the best in California. But after 48 consecutive hours of cabernet and cheese boards, all you really want is margaritas and tacos. Head to Fish Gaucho, a modern Mexican restaurant downtown with a big space that gets rowdy in a hurry. They have over 80 different kinds of mezcal and tequila, and tasty, seafood-focused Mexican food. The popular order is fish tacos (get the fresh-caught halibut), but their carnitas nachos are a must-order as well. We advise you get a reservation on the weekend.
