I’m now officially hungry. And making burritos for dinner. Thanks! 🙂
It’s total melting pot because Tex-Mex is American cuisine distantly based on Mexican Food prepared by possibly South or Central American people in a Polish neighborhood.
Someone in the New Yorkers LiveJournal community calls those places “Chexican”. It’s kinda catchy.
I used to go there a lot…but then I found a cockroach leg inside my container and haven’t been back there since…
The only reason why you thought this place was great was because you are a vegitarian. I love meat, and I judge restaurants by how good their meats dishes are.

I would not want anyone to go through the same ordeal I did. I will agree with you on one thing, it’s cheap. But who want’s cheap bad food?
