Had a lady in our lunch party the other day get a bill for $3.50 because she sat and munched on the communty nachos and didn't order anything else. Had mixed emotions...I get where they're coming from, but our table spent over $100 in the joint!
I've never been to a Mexican restaurant that didn't give free chips and salsa and I'd probably refrain from going back because that's half of the fun. There is definitely different levels of quality food when it comes to Mexican restaurants, just like any kind of restaurant.
Does anyone know what they do in a REAL Mexican restaurant, i.e., a restaurant in Mexico that serves real Mexican food to real Mexicans?
