As the margarita sets in, munch on nachos, $8, loaded with marinated shredded chicken, smooth black beans, velvety cheese, sour cream, tomato, onion, lettuce, and guacamole on top — they're everything you ever dreamed of in your finger-food fantasies.
Once your appetite is fully aroused, a bacon and guacamole burger, $11, layered with tomato, cheese and sliced pickles awaits. If beef isn't your thing, stick with seafood like the Vela jumbo shrimp, $12, coated in a zesty pepper cream sauce, served with white rice and steamed eggplant, zucchini, carrots and onions.
Ambiance
Laid back, right on the beach, perfect for watching the sunset or a spur-of-the-moment night out; no need for reservations or shoes. Rope lights hang from tree trunks on the sand, and on the sidewall, a projection screen plays sports games.
Service
Staff are relaxed and casual, sure not to get in the way of the lovely view of the beach.
