Wonderful site. Thank you, Mad Dog!! I love this. I ate at El Tiki a few times in 1970 when I lived in El Centro as a young adult. Ate my first chili rellano there along with some tropical side dish. Great food and surreal atmosphere. An Oasis in the desert for sure. Thanks to everyone who posted about this wonderful spot (in my memory now and in real life back then).
