did you miss the part where is was in Katy?

---

I certainly did.

But still. That's basically East San Antonio.

It really bothers me when a restaurant serves nothing but chicken strips and doesn't have gravy.

It was in a terrible location

---

When franchisee/proprietor started building Chicken Express in that location, buried deep into Cinco Ranch with 1/2 of your customer radius being non-existent as it is Barker Reservoir, I think I face-palmed. Location, local demographics, egress...nothing made sense at all IMO.

---

I grew up a few miles from that location. I knew it was doomed from the start due to all the reasons you listed. I think that building has been a few different taco shops now.

---

It's actually been the same taco shop for years. It just changes names sometimes. Best tacos south of I-10 for real though.

---

Good to know. I remember going there a time or two years ago and thought it was good. I'm glad its doing well.

---

I presume this is referencing the taco shop that is near the intersection of Fry and Westheimer Parkway? If so, yeah, that place has some mighty tasty tacos.

---

They have the absolute best breakfast tacos. If you haven't tried them, you are missing out. Especially the chorizo. Los Balitos I believe is the name.

I still miss Chicken E though.

Went to Los Balitos this morning for some breakfast tacos. They were very good. Disappointed that their dining room was closed.

I hit up the Cinco Ranch location. Never seen an iPad sitting out there for tips at a fast food restaurant. Dear diary, almost comical.

Yeah Los Balitos is some good ****.

Layne's has halal menu choices at the Katy location and my Muslim friends say their community is very happy with the food.

They have a 3 breakfast tacos for $3 (maybe $3.50, either way super cheap) special every weekday. Different taco is on special every day of the week. 3 of their tacos is a hefty breakfast for the $.

holy crap thats a lot of locations. Hopefully its not an over-expansion just for the owner's sake. But it's his risk/reward

The family and I went Sunday for lunch and food was great as was the service. They seemed fully staffed which in these times around us is far from the norm so that was nice to see. They did a nice job IMO splitting the old PDQ up into two spaces so hopefully that works for both Layne's and Halal Guys when it opens next door.

Two observations (granted its been over 2 years since I ate at a Layne's in CS):

1) I think the chicken strips are bigger at the Katy location
2) No potato salad

Definitely bigger than CS locations

Just had it for lunch and agree. Definitely bigger than CS. Overall seemed better than what I remember in CS.

No spicy sauces...bleh.
