Try Johl Momo at Lighthouse Bistro

Lighthouse Bistro Global Cuisine introduces Jhol Momo to our menu at 570 Lighthouse Ave. Come try it!

Our hand wrapped Nepalese momo (dumplings) are filled with your choice of ground beef or chicken mixed with cabbage, onion, and spices and served with a flavorful johl (sauce) - a blend of soybeans, tomatoes, sesame, cumin, turmeric, and salt. Delciious!

Enjoy Paranubes Rum at Pearl Hour

Both the Mexican Mai Tai and Sade’s Daiquiri at Pearl Hour feature a great spirit, Paranubes Rum. It's made by wild fermenting the fresh pressed juice of sugarcane grown at the farm of master distiller Jose Luis Carrera in the Sierra Mazateca mountains of Oaxaca, Mexico. Classic.

Pearl Hour, at 214 Lighthouse Ave, opens at 6pm Wed-Mon.

Enjoy Brunch at Taqueria del Mar

You may know that Taqueria del Mar serves some of the tastiest fish tacos in town at 530 Lighthouse Avenue. But did you also know it's a great place to grab brunch?

Open Mon-Sat, 11:30am-9pm, there are several menu items that are perfect for breakfast or brunch, including egg tortas (omelettes) and a breakfast burrito. They're made fresh to order and available all day for dine-in or take-out.
