Mexican restaurants in this area have never been very good. They offer
basically Tex Mex food like tacos, burittos, nachos and variations.
Their prices tend to be steep IMO, considering that they use basically
cheap ingredients. Our neighbours have some Mexican friends who own a
restaurant and claim to be higher end. They often bring all kinds fo
foods to the neighbour's party, but I remain unimpressed.
