You can have a great tiki environnement, or a great new tiki bar, but if the customer don't understand it, it gets bad. When I was in Mexico city, I really wanted to go to that new tiki bar, especially as it was partly made by my friend Jorge Alderete. The place could have been great, but as the people there didn't know and care about what is tiki, all they wanted was house music (I started dj exotica, it didn't work), and so it is now becoming a usual trendy bar. Same goes with tiki bob cantina, they use the word tiki, but they don't know what really is a tiki bar, and don't care, they make what the customers wants.
