By turns romantic date venue and convivial cantina, El Camino?s flavors extend beyond the Rick Bayless-worthy menu into the restaurant?s decor. The maize-colored walls, Mexican tarot cards, and sparkling star lamps pulse with the warmth of el sol. Sure, you?ll find the usual fruity/floral oilcloths and Guadalajara vacation posters. But instead of Frida Kahlo and her monkey, images like the peasant chica and her guitar on the menu will recall the spirit of authentic Mexican cuisine. EVE M.
