Superica is celebrating summertime with a patio party featuring live music, OG margaritas and beer, and FREE breakfast tacos beginning at 10 a.m. (the free tacos are first-come, first-serve). The tacos come straight from chef Ford Fry’s acclaimed Tex-Mex cookbook, including migas tacos, a classic bacon and egg, carnitas, and a Californian iteration featuring gooey cheddar cheese, carne asada, avocado and crispy french fries. Those who are still hungry can stick around for brunch.

Luau at Truck Yard 

Saturday, noon to midnight

Break out the grass skirt and Hawaiian shirt for a luau and pig roast at Truck Yard.

Coconuts will be available all weekend long.
