F: Is for food Mexican Style


You know the hidden-bar fad is out of control when you’re in a Mexican T.G.I. Friday’s. Su Casa has two huge second-floor picture windows, cluttered walls on the walk up the stairs, leather benches line the bar’s long brick walls and are bathed in a cooling light from the small candles set in the brick (complete with real wax drippings.) The back section oozes "sexy and intimate." For those who love sports on TV this place loops classic Mexican wrestling matches on the bar TV. It is the drnks that are outstanding. Fresh Margarita's and the “El Diablo” – tequila, habanero peppers and Tabasco which should come with a warning label. A light fare of Mexican snacks is evocative of a "1960s Mexican speakeasy. An unexpected highlight is the bathroom, where speakers blast Spanish music and the walls are plastered in pages from gossip magazines. Catch up on your escándalos. You can get your Mexican on at 404 6th Ave @ 8th St and that is a F.A.C.T.
