During its early years, the founders introduced modular sound equipment to the restaurant, playing imported vinyl records purchased in the United States. Integrating loud, discotheque-style audio experience and an interactive atmosphere into a casual dining space was a departure from traditional Mexican restaurant formats of the 1970s. During this period, the restaurant's menu also expanded to include barbecue ribs and seafood dishes, such as fish, shrimp, and baked oysters.
