Scarface is one of the bandidos who invades Tres Camarones. He's a "bottom-level narco" desperate to make it big as a drug cartel, and he attempts to dress the part by wearing sport coats in the swampy heat, mirrored sunglasses, and an automatic gun on a shoulder holster. He and his accomplice, the state cop, harass Nayeli when they stop at Tacho's bar and leave without paying as a show of force and power.
