let me start by giving you a warning – don’t listen to Yelp.  people
tell the truth on there about as often as Bush’s press secretary…
now that we got that out of the way, CHECK OUT EL CAMINO in north
park.  we are a little bummed to give up one of our secret spots, but
this place is really cool. from the jesus candles to the glowing wall
of virgin marys, this place is over-the-top Mexican kitch.  it is the
luchadore of restaurants.  it pays homage to everything that is
weirdly awesome about Mexico and the beloved El Camino  - that
car/truck hybrid that we all know and love. its located at Juniper and
Fern and serves great Mexican food as well as beer and wine.  one word
- GO.  lastly, i want to give mad props to Mauricio who was one of the
creators of the original Ole Madrid, Airport Lounge and El Camino.
he’s also the reason why i, matt, am in this business.  i am in
constant awe of his style, creativity and execution.  he makes cool
shit in this city happen.  my hat is off to  him – always.
