Geocache Description:

LET'S EAT MEXICAN MICRO lets you combine some pretty tricky Urban Micro Caching with - you guessed it - lunch or dinner!

Once again, LarsThorwald leads you to one of our favorite spots... but this time we're far west of our traditional Pasadena/South Pasadena haunts. Why? Because the hunt for a good margiarita can be as taxing as that for a well-hidden cache. Luckily, today you can find both!

We're not going to give the name of the restaurant - it should be clear when you get there - just know that this is one of L.A.'s classic and most well-known Mexican Cafes, around since the early '30s. To make it a challenge we suggest that you really try and find the cache BEFORE you decrypt the clue, which will give it away.

So, what ARE we going to tell you?

There is no need to go inside the restaurant to find the cache, and you can park right on the street (you may want to put a quarter in the meter - or more, if you're hungry)! The cache is hidden in a very public spot: if you're quick you can retrieve it in a matter of a few seconds, but you'll want to be conscious of trying to make sure you're not spied by the curious (perhaps another member of your team can act as a decoy/shield/attention-getter). And, lastly, this LarsThorwald Micro is as always a HIDE-A-KEY, so look for something magnetic. GOOD LUCK!
