It matters to me since people here keep saying that I eat it.

I don't know too many places here that serve a cheese sauce for dipping. La
Palmera does but I could swear that it's just Velveeta. We don't go there
often. When we do it is less for the food and more for the attractions. They
sometimes have fortune tellers, balloon sculptors and lots and lots of
tricks, at least at the Everett location. They have joke like things such as
a bottle that appears to squirt ketchup on you or a fake spilled margarita.
You can request these things to be done to someone at your table or you can
just be surprised as they seem to do these things at random. I think the
last time we were there was about a year ago for Angela's birthday. It was
my nephew's ex girlfriend's favorite restaurant. I don't think I've ever
gotten bad food there but it's not my favorite place. Location is good for
all of us though as it is located pretty much between were everyone lives.
