Say adios to Tosh's Cantina

Bummer. Tosh's Cantina, which opened in March in Marina Square, at 8101 East Belleview Avenue, has gone dark and empty, which, to be frank, isn't even slightly surprising considering the off-any-beaten-path location which -- let's face it -- utterly and completely sucked.

Bummer. Tosh's Cantina, which opened in March in Marina Square, at 8101 East Belleview Avenue, has gone dark and empty, which, to be frank, isn't even slightly surprising considering the off-any-beaten-path location which -- let's face it -- utterly and completely sucked.
