El Bolero unfolds an impressive dining room: Gorgeous patterned tile covers the floors, while subway tile seamlessly flows into mosaics on a far wall. Tile frames the kitchen, which glows like it’s under a heat lamp, and it frames the bar in green, where tufted leather barstools sprout like yellow buttercups. Oh, whatever, just get the pastor tacos, a ceviche and a green michelada, and all will be well in the world.
