Your New Go-To for Tacos and Margaritas
Social Cantina, part of the Bloomington-based Finney Hospitality Group (known for The Tap), is expanding its footprint to 4573 N. College Avenue.

Taste the Freshness: Menu Highlights
Diners can look forward to a menu built on fresh ingredients, featuring house-made sour mix for their craft margaritas.

To complement your meal, enjoy beers from The Tap Brewery, including their new Mexican lager, Mano de Dragon, with notes of cracker, sweet corn, and noble hops.

The restaurant also plans for regular patio parties, tequila dinners, and local partnerships, solidifying its role as a community gathering spot. An outdoor mural by Indianapolis-based artist Kimmy Wachtel adds a distinctive local artistic touch.
