Whatever you do, don't give your co-workers gift certificates to El Sombrero #1 in downtown Manhattan Beach...

it burned-the-fuck down!

Yeah, apperently on Tuesday morning about 4 am a fire that allegedly started at the restuarant took down almost the entire block where El Som used to stand. It took out Old Venice (the restaurant next door) and some clothing shop. We'll see if they rebuild. I went by there and the entire structure was totally gutted.
