Chica Bonita Manly

Have you checked out Manly's bar scene lately? It's pumping. Almost as wildly as Chica Bonita – a tiny 20-seat Mexican eatery nestled off The Corso promenade. Mates Luke and Sean are behind the venture, and they seem to know how to reel in the crowds. Perhaps it's the Margarita-focused drinks list (served in handled jam jars with salted rims) or the tangy Mexican booze-soaking fare? Or maybe it's just the hip decor that has come straight from Tijuana in Mexico.

Visit between 4pm and 5pm on weekends for $10 margaritas and $5 tacos.
