said. Family members of the victim said it started at Taco Beach, 211 Pine Ave.
It is unclear who was fighting, but a crowd ultimately spilled out onto the

Taco
Beach has three locations, Downtown, the Airport and Los Altos Village. When opening the Los Altos Village location
the owner originally applied to stay open until 2 am. The Los Altos Village residents protested the
liquor license at the local and state level.
Restrictions on the license resulted in the Taco Beach Los Altos Village
location becoming a family friendly local favorite.
Two years ago the owners applies to
extend alcohol serving hours past the restrictions at the Los Altos Village location. Residents objected to the extension and pointed to the original agreement to withdrawal their protests to the alcohol license which was partly due to the current restrictions on
the hours. Facing an ABC denial of the request, the owners withdrew the increase to increase alcohol hours request.
