Very nice people, like the cowboy hats (Vaquero hats?).

Food is excellent, considering they are one of 4 or 5 Mexican restaurants in a very tight radius. Very nice atmosphere, someone spent a great deal of design on the tables, chairs, the bar, everything.

I've only had the more traditional dishes so far, but they have a few I'm going to try when I get the chance that I've never seen elsewhere (i.e. fish).

Highly recommended for lunch, as it's the only meal I've had there, but I'll bet it's great at night, too.

You know those bullet-time moments in the Matrix, where the camera moves around and everything goes in really slow motion like time has slowed down to a crawl.

That's the average experience right now if you stand in line at this particular Burger King.

Lots of staring around dumb-founded, wondering what is happening and when someone is going to make a move or do anything. That's the staff by the way, I'm just watching with amused surprise while an orchestrated nothing commences with flawless precision.

Pleasant, bemused stares from the helpless cashier who appears a little frightened.

It's a tiny little BK, so it looks crowded back there. It's not a problem, since they are moving so slowly.

Food is decent, about the BK standard (but it's a new location, so it's only downhill from here).

(Could be a touch cleaner, but I've only been during the lunch rush, so maybe they're doing alright.)

It always takes me a few years to forgot just how expensive Arbys is.

Yes, it's different, a nice change from the regular fast food restaurants I try not to eat at.

I like roast beef, and the meat product they put on their sandwiches is pretty tasty too.

But I always end up spending a fortune for a sandwich, fries and drink. Dinner-time price for a lunch-time meal.

They should add a toy surprise, I could pretend it's worth a three dollar difference.

However: THEIR CURLY FRIES RULE.

Sorry to see the last person had a bad experience. Ive been eating there for 5 years now and never had a bad dinner. The food is always the best in town for half the price. Ive done the other big names in town and their $30+ per entree and nowhere near as generous portions. The quality is amazing. I always go with the specials. The best seafood hands down. Very inventive with the dishes as well. Ive had 34oz porterhouse, white salmon(with an asian theme), braised rabbit, venison, monkfish, shortribs, ceviches, tuna, you name it. The wine list is extensive and changes often. The prices for wine are way less than the other fine dining places in town. Mspersona, i would suggest another try and this time look at the list. If it was the most expensive how good was it?

The food was mediocre at best and the service was terrible. Our waiter treated us as if he didn't have enough time to deal with us. When asked to suggest a glass of wine he brought the most expensive one on the menu!
What a sham.

Try the Yule Log for the Holidays. It is a tradition in my family.

Chez Lulu is a very quaint setting for an evening dinner. Nice music and murals/antique decoration. There are not many entrees to choose from, but salads and soups are plentiful. Very affordable prices. Just make sure you have plenty of cash if you don't carry a VISA! (or Mastercard)

Sol Azteca is the best mexican restaurant, I've been to! The service is good and the food is great! There chips and salsa, fried ice-cream and  chimichangas are my favorite to order. The only thing is it's always crowded but, I guess that's a good thing.
