El Chico

Upstairs kitchen and downstairs restaurant often results in painful crashing tumbles for unassuming waiters at this otherwise delightfully smart Mexican tavern. Multi-colored lights adorn the wooden pillared ceiling, creating an amicable if not somewhat gauche, fun atmosphere. A mishmash of bright art deco and pictures of what looks like Mexican mafia coat the walls brick walls. Food is reasonably priced for the area. Portions adequate, but basket of complimentary nachos and salsa fills any void. The only thing missing from this cutesy venue is an alcohol license and subsequent pinata action.
