...each song with specific and taut strokes, but incorporates enough elements of personal style--distorted vocals, plodding bass or cavernous echo--that the artist cannot be misidentified. "My Beautiful Leah," in which a phlegmy and diseased voice seeks clues to track the route of an aban-doing lover, lumbers thick and ungainly as a sauropod; "The Garden," by contrast, lilts and whispers like a dryer, spindlier version of Tori Amos's piano confessionals...

Smoky Avocado Chipotle Salsa ($3.95) resembles a cross between salsa and chunky guacamole, served with Tostones, which are fried plantain chips. Peel-N-Eat shrimp ($6.95) are an even more unusual addition to a Tex-Mex menu, served with spicy cocktail sauce and a side of salsa fresca. For grease-craving grazers, the Baja Sampler...
