- La Villita Cantina (1.9 km): https://directindex.org/r/lavillitacantina.com
- Baja Fresh (2 km): https://directindex.org/r/bajafresh.com
- Guac Daddy (2.1 km): https://directindex.org/r/guacdaddy.com

## What to fix first
- **No working HTTPS.** (+3 points) The page is only served over plain http. Browsers and agents rank it lower or refuse it.
- **Structured data is incomplete.** (+3 points) Missing: opening hours. Guide: https://directindex.org/guides/structured-data-restaurant
- **No llms.txt.** (no points, but worth doing) Optional for now and cheap to add. It's a short text file that describes the business for language models. Guide: https://directindex.org/guides/llms-txt-for-a-business
- **The phone number on the site doesn't match the open map data.** The site shows 5109266300, but OpenStreetMap or Overture Maps lists +13239621706. An assistant that sees two numbers can't tell which one to trust. Fix whichever is wrong, on the site or in the map data at openstreetmap.org.

## Fix kit: What to paste

Structured data (JSON-LD). Paste it as one block in the page's head, or in the builder's custom code box. Change anything that's wrong.
