Tacos and Tequila, a Warehouse District taquería, quietly opened on Sept. 16 in the former RioMar location.

Nick Bazan and chef Miles Prescott, who both owned and operated RioMar until it closed, also run the new casual Mexican restaurant

Here's four things to know about Tacos and Tequila:
1.The restaurant is casual and offers counter service.
2.The menu is based around seven different fillings, like chorizo, shrimp or carne asada, and six dishes, such as tacos, burritos or chilaquiles.
3.All the hot sauces are homemade.
4.The adjoining bar specializes in rum, tequila and mescal.

Sounds pretty good, and definitely worth a shot.

Click the link, the menu looks cheesy as hell.
I like the late night option especially after a few cocktails over at the Nail.
