Rita Cantina

Dip your toes in the sand at Rita Cantina’s beachy porch, where groups can huddle at picnic tables under yellow fringed umbrellas for several rounds of frozen cucumber or passion fruit margaritas. Share plenty of guac, salsa, and queso before digging into adobe-crusted Oaxacan fried chicken, duck carnitas, and plenty of tacos. They also do brunch, and the long cushioned booths inside are a good rainy-day backup for groups of seven or fewer people.
