Cancun Fiesta Fresh 4019 Pennsylvania Ave. I found a favorite taco spot at Cancun Fiesta Fresh.

The room is completely dark except for a light coming from a single screen at the front of Epperson Auditorium. All of a sudden sounds erupt from the speakers, bass notes accompanied by the sounds of a young person speaking in a foreign language. On the screen a variety of swirls and patterns appear as if in a dream punctuated by jolts in the beats of the music.
