A tacos and tequila bar has opened downtown.

MaracaZ Cantinerie, at 398B John Street, above the CurdZ Poutinerie, opened last week.

Murray Zehr, executive chef as CurdZ, says MaracasZ will offer about 20 tequila drinks, four beers on tap and four frozen drink machines to make strawberry daquiris, margaritas, pina coladas, etc.

Zehr said all the furniture is made out of recycled wooden skids. He said the food is authentic Mexican tacos using only white corn tortillas. The Queso Fresco cheese is made in-house.
