I expect to have at least something that was made from scratch, not just assembled on a conveyor belt. Very disappointed, absolutely horrible.

Make reservations! This place generally has at LEAST a 45 minute wait on weeknights. But it's worth the wait!

For ambiance and quality interior Mexican food, Fonda San Miguel cannot be beat. The service is second to none. Dinner there is a little pricey but well worth it.

The only reason that Chuy's is popular is because they have a cool decor. The food is decent and the drinks are weak. My first choice would definetly not be Chuy's, but I would place it in the top ten.
