With that being said I think you guys picked your game up. The chips are nice and crispy as well as the dinners seem to be seasoned better than they were a few years ago. With more competition downtown you have to be better than you've ever been.

The veggies were floating in grease. I was able to tip the skillet and make about 1/4 cup of oil roll off but there is no telling how much had already soaked in. The waitress, who was awesome, said next time I could tell them to leave off some kind of buttery gravy (yuk - who knew?) that they put on the veggies. This buttery gravy should be disclosed on the menu. You'd think less oil would be a preference for anyone who has chosen veggie fajitas. The margaritas ALL have Julio's Secret Mix (aka refined sugar syrup) but, if you get a good bartender, you can ask for an off-menu, skinny margarita that is very good. (But only certain bartenders know how to make them.)

It's hit and miss on servers.. the only thing I can't stand if waiting for your entire party to be their to be seated. I can understand if its 5-10 people, but last time I went, there was 8 cars in the parking area and I was meeting a girlfriend.. now I wanted to go in have a seat with some chips and dip and a mixed drink while I wanted, nope they made me wait till she arrived to be seated.

I paid my bill, I should ask more, but you all lost a loyal fan. when I gave the chance to make it right when I asked them, all put the opportunity down. Hopefully it was for the win she made on this meal.
