- CCatLos Angeles •2 reviews5.0Dined 2 days agoGreat service! We got seated right away at a high top. We mostly came for happy hour and it did not disappoint. The wings are juicy and crispy, birria tacos are great too. We also loved the chips and bean dip, and guac. Drinks are nice and strong but still tasty. The Sonoran Sunset is great if you like rum. Our server was great and attentive. Will definitely be back!More infoSandBar Huntington BeachPrice: Moderate• Mexican• Huntington Beach•4.9
- AAdamOrange County •1 review5.0Dined 2 days agoThe food exceeded my expectations. Possibly the best queso I’ve ever had. My wife and kids loved their food too. The staff was courteous, and prompt. The decorations are tasteful and well done. Inside is almost entirely built around a large bar, so it’s a bit loud and with televisions, but this was fine for us. I’ll be back!More infoBlind Coyote CantinaPrice: Moderate• Mexican• Yorba Linda•4.4
