To step into this Baja cantina is to instantly go on vacation, from the appropriately landscaped patio to the animal-print barstools. And don't be surprised if the owner comes to say hello looking as if he just got off his surfboard while you're enjoying his incredibly valued fish tacos, steak burritos or cheeseburgers. Live bands are featured Fridays and Saturdays, while "Jami-oke" (live band karaoke) happens Thursdays.
