Doña letis is something else….The Nissan and Chrysler traffic jam it creates for "valet" at the one on washington and the freeway is ridiculous. Someone is gonna get smoked by someone blowing through the traffic light.

Almost of unheard of in Houston to charge for chips and salsa. Now in Mexico City you get charged - and honestly I've never had chips in Mexico City that were even remotely good.
The chip is American basically
IMO, they are obfuscating by acting like ordering a chips and salsa appetizer from a bar or other non-mexican restaurant, or like Chili's is typical, but everyone expects complementary chips and salsa at a place like Spanish Flowers.El Gallo Blanco said:I have literally NEVER been in a place that charged for chips and salsa.

I love how they claim most other Tex Mex restaurants are charging $7-10 for chips.
But $7-10??? Haha I'm laughing in someone's face and dragging my family out of there.

Pretty much. But it seems like every time I go to MC on business my Mexican co-workers ask for some chips with the sauces. Chips are terrible. They also usually have three different sauces/salsa's. They always caution me that they are so hot. Still never found one that is too hot. They can never believe I can eat the hottest and survive.

No, poor folk food. Like all of Tex Mex. Real Mexican cuisine is good quality food, not leftover meat the Don doesn't want and a-million-different-ways-to-eat-corn.
Same thing with "German food". We think sausage and sauerkraut is German? No, Frankonian. Peasant folk food.
The rich folk didn't come to this country and bring their cuisine. The poor folk wanting a better life did.
Um what?
Isn't the food of the poor / middle class (note the poor couldn't actually make it to the states) a better representation of the food of the country then the royal / elite cuisine?

I've never been. The parking lot of the new one on Post Oak has been busy when I've noticed, but that's all I got other than looking at the menu.
Anyway, I always enjoy the deep sociological studies that arise from TexAgs foodies whenever we learn of a very serious crisis like some total stranger on social media whining about being charged 2 bucks for the extra mole salsa they ordered. Burn 'em down boys!!!
Beans in chili, anyone?

Surely somebody in Houston makes better ones in their backyard. The ham and cheese kolaches are the best!

You need to leave Texas - I lived in Washington and charging for chips and salsa was fairly regular. Or -Quite often - it was charging after the first basket
Why would I leave a place giving me higher quality Mexican food and giving me free chips/salsa to go somewhere that will provide lower quality Mexican food at a higher cost?
so dumb to do this, just bake it in the cost of an entreeMichaelJ said:El Gallo Blanco said:I have literally NEVER been in a place that charged for chips and salsa. At least not that I recall...and pretty sure I would remember that.Ryan the Temp said:

I'd never be dumb enough to get Mexican food in Washington in the first place.
Any port in a storm.
Calling BS...there's a place off 35 between Austin and New Braunfels that makes the best sausage cheese and jalapeño kolaches...supposedly about as authentic as you can get.

How long do you want to ignore this user?

After a drunken bar night in my younger days I met a Bonita sucia there with her friends. Not much later I found out she was a recent divorcee and the rest of the story proceeds from there. Fun times…
Thanks & Gig 'Em
Best start proceeding and please don't take 12 years to tell it.
Yeah you yada yada yada'd the best part (presumably anyway).
That little strip of N Main used to be a lot of fun back in the day. Sarah's #2 was always interesting. Several great spots to get drunk grub at 3am in the immediate vicinity as well.
No, he mentioned the bisque.MAS444 said:

This saddens me, the apparent decline of SF. I worked at American General in the 90s, and this place was a top go-to on a regular basis. But I haven't been back since I left that job in 01.
Yep. How the hell do you F up a decades long tradition of having consistently solid tex-mex. Just don't change it. Literally all you have to do.Cinco Ranch Aggie said:

I remember when we lived just a few houses down, and it started to become hit or miss. My cousin and his wife came into town from Ft Worth...and he is a Tex-Mex snob. I couldn't wait to take them there. It started with extremely watery queso with what tasted like microwaved rubbery ground meat. Then came the enchilada plates...which were night and day from the ones I was used to having and had enjoyed just a few weeks prior.
After that, it was just too inconsistent so we began only going to Teotihuacan...and Tony's when we wanted gooey lardy tex mex.
SF had everything going for it...from the location to the classic look and style of the building...and they just had to mess with the food.
Some places will just cut costs sometimes in order to maintain their prices.
I was at a different, but old local TexMex place for the first time in years, and was just saddened by their cheese enchiladas. Seemed like they had gone to powder based instant cheese or something. And this was at a place where we had been going since we were little kids. My friend said the place had some flood damage in Harvey, and hadn't really been the same since.
