Beverly Boulevard Mexican restaurant Petty Cash is reopening today for pickup and delivery, just in time for Cinco de Mayo. In a call to Eater yesterday, chef/owner Walter Manzke tells Eater that the return will be handled through Tock (just like at sibling restaurant Republique), with options for finished, cooked dishes as well as finish-at-home meals like the restaurant’s cauliflower nachos. And, crucially, Petty Cash is doing a $21 at-home taco kit that comes with an option add-on: a $1 Cimarron Blanco margarita. There’s a limit of one per order, but still, one dollar delivery margaritas sounds just about perfect. New hours are Wednesday through Saturday, 4 p.m. to 9 p.m.
And in other news:
