el guapo cantina, los angeles, ca - sports bar for final four

If you're like me, then you look forward to sporting events for, er, well, the food. March Madness is at the climax this weekend with the Final Four (LSU vs UCLA, Florida vs George Mason). Though it truly will be madness at some of the more popular sports bars around town, particularly anything near a college, that's all the fun, isn't it? Some options in and around LA that also serve food, in case you want to get there early to squat on a spot, especially since UCLA is playing:
