I just really like the way the menu explains how he came about the decision to create the Mex-Tiki concept, and how he describes the decor ("modern lamps from Tikies" ?). He seems to have been acutely aware of the style elements for the time, even mentioning an Exotica music type of atmosphere at the end. Usually people were not so reflective and conscious of the details, at least I have not seen it written down like that back in the day.
