:drink: I think alot of us Tiki Folk put more importance on good food then others might, I know I do, I found that the food served in the whole area, Hotel circle & at the Oasis is very,very,very substandard.
because the Crown Plaza was sold out, we stayed at the Kings Inn, which was nice in a Mid-Century Motel style, but the food there was just
plain bad, one of the worst breakfast's I have had in a long time, how hard is to screw up breakfast!

I already knew the food was poor at the Crown Plaza, The Bands on Saturday went past 11pm, since we did not want to miss any of the great music & many Mai Tai's later, we had not had any dinner that evening, The restaurant at the Crown was already closed.

I went to the front desk and asked the nice folks there, where to get a late night bite, Denny's was mentioned at which point I put a Voodoo Curse on that poor fellow, I threw out the idea that I was up for any local hole in the wall spots, A local Taco Stand called "Santana's"
was suggested, I was sober at this time, so we jumped into the car, jetted about 2 miles down the road, found the place, where we got some of the best Mexican food, we have had in a long time.

It was the best food we had our whole stay in fact, from a Stand/drive thru, all you San Diego folks might have already knew about it
but wow, just wow! :drink:
