Colin's Cantina Favorites
BBQ Short Rib Tacos
Every Tuesday, the smoker fires up early so the best Taco Tuesday in town kicks off by 3pm. Tender, smoky short ribs meet caramelized onions and a creamy-spicy salsa for a perfect sweet-tangy bite. These tacos disappear fast—order extra from the start, but remember, quantities are limited. If they sell out, fall back on Colin’s famous burgers!
Mama’s Bacon Blue Pancakes
A breakfast standout: two oversized, fluffy pancakes loaded with whole blueberries and crispy bacon bits. The combo of salty crunch, juicy berries, and maple syrup creates pure morning magic. Feeling adventurous? Try the Jalapeño pancakes—they’re surprisingly addictive and a crowd-pleaser.
Craft Beers
Discover a fresh side of Mexican beer at Colin’s. Alongside classics like Tecate and XX, you’ll find an impressive lineup from top Northern Mexico microbreweries (think award-winning brews from Tijuana and Ensenada). Colin’s boasts the largest selection of premium Mexican craft beers in Rocky Point—perfect for expanding your horizons.
