El Farolito Bar: Drink Cheap Beer Instead of Waiting in Line for Your Food
The El Farolito Bar advertised for like a month telling me that I could watch the Pacquiao vs Margarito fight there. I’m a big boxing fan, and I love seeing Manny Pacquiao fight, so I was pretty excited. On the night I arrived though, the security guard informed me that somebody
