He was around so we hooked up. It's described pretty accurately by eariler posts. The night of our visit was on Friday and I was warned by Bamzeno of what was in store. There are a few cool tikis to look at and it's always nice to be on the patio on as the day ends. Our waitress was cute and was freindly and the food brought to us was tasty. I was drinkin' Mojitos that were bit on the too sweet side, the music was loud and nothing I would voluntarily listen too. When I walked out to the patio some lit up guy starts hollerin' "Hey Spicolli" at me. I tried to ignore him but the bugga did it everytime I walked by him. So I decided to tell I wasn't wearing the correct vans to be called Spicolli. I then started calling him "Cheech" He was informed me he was black and Puerto Rican and not Mexican. I couldnt think of any famous Black Pureto Ricans that looked like him so I stared at him blankly. He didn't call me Spicolli me much after that. Once the Friday night drinkin' crowd started lining up to mix it up with the afternnon drinkin crowd and the disco effects kicked in, I couldn't get out of there fast enough. I would recommend going in the early afternnoon on nice day for an early dinner but prepare to bolt for the door when the night life kicks in. Chongolio
