The drink selection at the Taxi Inn is limited to beer and wine, but that doesn't seem to matter to its patrons. Everyone's having too good a time soaking in the dive bar ambiance and sucking down Pacificos and Tecate to care about the fact that the only mixed drink being served are Micheladas (a.k.a. suds spiced up with tomato juice and Clamato in the style of a Bloody Mary).

We've gotta say, the spicy, Bloody Mary-style beer concoction really hit the spot.
