A tortilla makes a handy mouse pad, an acceptable patch for stiff denim jeans, and, if you draw a face on it, an ideal companion on fishing trips. But there are many other uses for it, as proved with today's Groupon: for $15, you get $30 worth of Mexican cuisine at Cabo Grill & Cantina in Brea. For more than a decade, Cabo Grill & Cantina has devised savory plates of meats, beans, and rice for its traditional restaurant and catering service. Cabo’s menu excites the tongue’s flame receptors with authentically spiced dishes, including several varieties of enchiladas, quesadillas, and burritos ($5.25–$12.95). Compare and contrast reality and fantasy with a paradoxical deep-fried ice cream ($5.25), a frozen globe of vanilla rolled in cinnamon, sugar, and corn flakes, and then deep-fried and buried in whipped cream and hot chocolate.
