On the subject of food, there are several restaurants within easy walking distance of Tiki Ti. Next door (toward Vermont) there is El Chavo, a Mexican restaurant that also has an ATM inside it. Across Sunset is Acapulco, another Mexican restaurant. At the other end of the block at Fountain there is a Pioneer Chicken, a donut shop, a McDonalds and a little easy to miss place called The Kitchen. The Kitchen is a better quality of food, although a smaller place than El Chavo or Acapulco (or even McDonalds). To find it, start from the Pioneer chicken, walk toward Fountain, cross Fountain and walk a few feet to your right.

As far as everything else you are getting good advice. The Ray's Mistake is a must. After that, just about all of the drinks on the menu are great. The Anting Anting is the drink that Ray was making when he made his famous "mistake" and it is still on the menu. Bayanihan is another great Ray Buhen concoction. Other drinks of note are the Jim's Special, 151 Rum Swizzle, Great White Shark, Suffering "B" and, of course, the Zombie - which is about as close to a real Don the Beachcomber Zombie as you will find anywhere other than the Mai Kai.

The other best bit of advice is: resist the temptation to try all the drinks. They are stonger than they seem.
