A half pound between two adults and kids? Y'all must have small stomachs. I would eat all that by myself plus the chips

fatty

Not fat enough in that pic

El Tiempo portions are pretty generous. I'm a big boy and usually have leftovers. Especially if I have a few drinks with dinner.

So if the originating country/region of various cuisines is impoverished 3rd world then that food by default should be very cheap here in the US. The higher costs of ingredients, real estate, equipment, wages, govt regulations, and the general higher standard of living here in the US should not affect the prices at a restaurant.

Makes sense.

God, etc. - It's cool that "your" restaurants re-create that authentic "Feel", especially in your bowels about 3 hours post-meal. Instead of salsa, you dip your chips in amoeba sauce.

But...save those pesos!

Stay away from La Hacienda on 26th Street. As someone who grew up in Cypress I used to enjoy the Telge location before it became a little hood. My first trip to the new one in Heights: My face became red and my eye was swollen after eating the bean dip (never happened in my life). My card was briefly "lost" when the waiter took it to swipe it. The NEXT day, I had fraudulent charges and attempted ATM withdrawals of that same card. But what do I know, I'm just a "rook".

Note: My kid only ate $12 worth of food there. Only a semi-fatty that night.

hey rook...youre taking texags way too serious

The last time I went to a los cucos it was for $1 margaritas and food poisoning in CS. I can't believe they can try to market themselves upscale.

the one in CS was known for both of those.

Used to go to Los Cucos in CS every Monday for 99 margaritas but never got food poisoning.

Lately anytime I go, I have to drink a gallon of water afterwards due to being very dry from all of the sodium.

we always did the $1 margaritas at ozonas

I am not arguing that our prices should be comparable...sorry you were confused...I'll dumb it down for you. Just think that it is absurd that some places get away with charging $15-18 for a beef or chicken enchilada plate. Or $12 for a bowl of freaking melted cheese. I am as free-market as you can get...I have no problem with people lining up for a $100+ Mexican dinner and drinks meal for two. I just think it's silly that there is such a demand for it.

Even a multi-millionaire Type-A badass like yourself can surely see the absurdity in a $100 meal-for-2-and-a-baby at Los Cucos?

That was after we were done at Los Cucos, and then walk home.

Pico's is one of the worse offender's imo. $12 for Queso Flameado

---

At one of the places you listed, Tony's, Queso Flameado is $11.50.

At Teotihuacan, another on your list, according to their menu 1lb of Fajitas, 5 margaritas and small quesadilla would be $85 before tax and tip.

Kids plate at the Los Cucos is $5
Fajitas for 2 is $35

Is that outrageous?

you poors need to move OTGPW

just go to pappasito's. it's the best and most consistent any way.

Nah I'm just messin with you man. Hey, bet you won't post a pic of yourself. Here's me...



It's all good! Cheers!
