Poquitos Opens Heated Patio for Cinco de Mayo

Little Water Cantina isn't the only killer patio debuting today for Cinco de Mayo. Poquitos says its patio opens today, adding seating for 57 to a restaurant where waits can stretch to nearly two hours on weekends. The new space is tricked out with a roof and Seattle-appropriate radiant heating in both floors and the bench seats. Technically it's an enclosed patio, meaning the windows can open completely when the weather is actually nice. It also has a second bar, two fire pits and a prime spot overlooking a busy stretch of Pike Street.

We're guessing it will be pretty crowded, even without the $5 shots of El Jimador Reposado tequila they're offering up today. If you'd prefer to do your margarita-swilling elsewhere, Jess Voelker has a list of suggested destinations.
