Good stuff!

I like Mexican food, but it seems like all Mexican restaurants serve exactly the same food.  They put the exact same chips on the table with the exact same dipping sauce.  There must be a factory where they make all the Mexican food for all the Mexican restaurants, because it's all exactly identical.  What's the point of going to a new Mexican restaurant to experience the exact same food as another one?  

And yet people keep inviting me and the wife to go experience whatever new Mexican restaurant has popped up, and it's always the same as all the other Mexican restaurants we go to.  I'm not complaining; I love beans and rice, but damn, it's not any different from the other Mexican restaurants in town.

That's definitely true.. But, I can say that they cook their beef a bit differently than some of the other Mexican restaurants we've been to around town. They cook their ground beef for their dishes down to extremely fine pieces.. I guess the best comparison would be fine as course sand. Very fine beef.. Not overpowering with the Mexican spices either. That's always been a problem for me.. A little goes a long way. I can only speak for their beef though, since I've only been there once so far.. Oh, their chips are much different too, you can tell they're homemade and pretty thick. Like they intended on them not breaking when ordering nachos or filling them up with their salsa.. So overall, this one had a bit of a different feel to it..  

I guess hamburgers can be the same way.. Wherever you get a hamburger, it's still a hamburger, but the cooking and preparation makes the dish.. This was one of the better Mexican Restaurants we've been to.. 

If that helps!
