Here's the thing: The chow at El Tiempo is outstanding --deliciously charred fajitas, pillowy flour tacos, amazing salsa. The margaritas are potent and tasty, which is a rare combination. But it's expensive. Like, way expensive. Like, 21 bucks for a half-pound of fajitas expensive. Go at lunch when it's cheaper (and when, at the Richmond location, there are fewer drunken asshats crowding the lovely patio area).
