The alien band dancing on the roof is the first indication that this place is a little different. While the outdoor patio offers a calm flower-enriched retreat, indoors there's riot of color, sound and flavor. A blend of Brazilian and Central Mexico influences both the dcor and the menu. Large palm tree sculptures, catchy phrased t-shirts, multi-colored ceramic birds and velvet paintings appear everywhere. Since the doors opened in 1982, this tacky-sheik Elvis-enrobed establishment has been churning out great Mexican food based on family and friends' recipes. The hot sauce, chips and tortillas are made fresh every day and are served in never-ending rations. The cabana-styled bar pours up lavish tropical drinks along with their special margarita -- swirled, not shaken. The bar opens up for dining on busy weekends and the television is always set to the latest sporting event. The place fills quickly and reservations are not accepted, but the wait is never too long with a margarita and basket of chips by your side.
