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
