Amorcito!

Beacon Hill just got a new little bar, and the owner sent me a note on Facebook to tell me about it.

Baja Bistro has always had an odd set up. The restaurant/coffee shop was split between two dining rooms, which sometimes led to issues with service (like the last time I went there when people were begging for the waiter to take their order for at least 30 minutes, only to get snapped at by him). The owners apparently decided to make some changes, and turned one section into a bar/lounge named Amorcito (with I think means loved one).

We decided to check it out today after another snowed in day of working from home. The bar is small, but there's plenty of seating at the bar itself or at tables around the room. And with a dedicated bartender, the service is great. Happy hour today was 3-6pm, so we got great deals on some Traditional Margaritas ($3.95) and chips, salsa, and guacamole ($2.95). I think the bartender is the owner, and he was really attentive and kind, as were the other staff. Now the odd set up works perfectly, and you can still get full dinner service in the bar.
