BREAKING NEWS, EVERYONE! Underage students are drinking at BYOBs. Philadelphia’s Channel 6 ABC News recently released a special investigative report about the multitude of underage drinkers that swarm to El Azteca, a Mexican BYOB restaurant located on 7th and Chestnut. They have revealed to the public what every college student in the Philadelphia-area has known for years–that the restaurant is a notorious spot for youngsters to drink. We can all agree that El Azteca is celebrated more for its lax attitude on carding than for its burritos. What took the media so long to figure it out?
The News crew interviewed students “eating” at the restaurant and asked them if they were carrying IDs. One Villanova student replied that “she forgot it at home” and a group of St. Joseph’s students freely admitted that they were underage.
Does anyone actually think that El Azteca is clueless to what their restaurant stands for? Definitely not. Managers enforce a $50 fine for anyone who gets sick in the restaurant, as well as sheet of other rules that include “no dancing on tables.”
With the revelation of this “scoop,” it would be crazy to think that El Azteca could continue to cater to the underage crowd that piles in every Thursday, Friday, and Saturday night. They proudly state on their doorway, “We Card”; maybe, for once, they’ll actually follow their own creed.

I know you’re the most boring person on earth but some people actually want to enjoy themselves and El Azteca allows them to do that without over-zealous pigs busting them. I expect a similarly scoopless report from you when you make it to the big time of local daytime news.
