Family is about to kill me....We started watching "Every Which Way But Loose", the Clint Eastwood movie where "Clint plays with his monkey"...(sorry, couldn't resist)...

At the beginning of the movie, after the opening credits and the fight scene in the bar, they show Clint driving his truck when he makes a right turn in front of an old tiki-looking establishment. "Whoa!", I shout as I scramble for the remote to rewind the disc. Everybody's asking me what I'm doing....."That looked like a tiki restaurant!!!". Collective groan from the others in the room. I rewind and take in as much info as I can without holding up the movie too much.

Clint turns right, the sign on the roof of the establishment says "Taco Sabroso" or something like that. There's a sign directing towards "I-5", also called the "Golden Gate Expressway".

Movie is still playing, so I can't try to gleen anymore info for now. Did a search for Movie locations for "Every Which Way But Loose", but found no info on this location. Search shows the "Black Widows" motorcycle club of the movie is based in Pacoima, which I believe is the San Fernando Valley?????? (not from California, just info from the net), but the location could be anywhere.

Did a search for the movie, San Fernando Valley and Pacoima on TC, but came up nothing....Anybody know what or where this location is?
