Fiesta Cantina - 8865 Santa Monica Bl. http://www.fiestacantina.net
Young guys FLOCK to Fiesta Cantina. The only time they leave is when they go to Tiger Heat on Thursday nights.

Both failed. The ultimate key to success was cheap margaritas. The day Fiesta Cantina opened, it's been PACKED ever since.
