    I paid 16$ for a bowl the other day of the new steak. Ya. That was a hard pill to swallow. 16$. I could have gone to Applebee’s for that price, or Chilli’s!

      the best taco place in town (current opinion fluid, we just lost the previous best taqueria and we’re in mourning and search mode) has $2.50 tacos. I have the appetite of a teenager and three satisfy me, plus they’re delicious. i have trouble justifying going elsewhere

        Yeah, my favorite taco place is in the back of a gas station. The cashier doesn’t speak a single word of English, but you can get by with some pointing at the menu, hand gestures, and “más queso por favor, y extra picante. Limón apardo.” Tacos are $2.50 each, a giant cup of refried beans is another two dollars, and he’ll usually slide you some extra tortillas to go with the beans for free if you’re a regular.

        Sadly, I changed jobs and haven’t been there in a long time. I still occasionally think about making the trek across town, just to get some tacos. I hope he’s okay with all of the ICE raids… People that are pro-ICE shouldn’t be allowed to eat seasoned food.

      Uh, the food at both those restaurants is considerably worse. It’s all just microwaved crap as far as I can tell. You CAN get a beer as either tho, which has them generally winning in my book tho.
