Owned by Eat Well Drink Better, the company behind tighty-whitie clubhouses Central, Union Park and English, Angels and Mariachis is decorated in a mélange of stereotypes encompassing the obvious in both Mexican and tattoo cultures: wrestling masks, mariachi musicians, and a sombrero’d skull logo framed by scrollwork and six-guns. The irony is lost on tatted-up white servers pimping cheap, not-too-spicy Mexican-esque food in a newly hip neighborhood where rising property values pushed out all the Mexicans. (Of course, they’re still available to bus your table.) Literally and figuratively, real taquerias are not far from this place—they even have a picture of one on the wall. Why not go there instead?

I question whether or not the person writing this actually set foot in this establishment. A few things.. there are two full bars NOT just tequila.. As far as the only Hispanics working there being bus boys... Hispanic owned, managed and the servers here are not a bunch of tatted up white people. And if the decor stereotypical we can only blame that from the decorations being brought it from Mexico.
