Indeed, if you don't like those items then you will not like many a
tex-mex food. I'm not a seafoodie, but interesting point about that;
assume it has to do with fresh seafood deliveries on certain days?

If you literally got 3 slices of beef, or even 5, I'de have to agree.

Well, it's gotta be a funtion of what you order then, because today I
posted that "At $8. and some change, I came away with more food
than I could eat comfortably....though it was tasty enough for me to
finish it off. When getting take-out, they give to-go chips and salsa
for free." Hell, just the $5.99 taco loco is enough to kill my hunger.
I did not even start on the chips and salsa....I kept it for later on.

Once again, it is a funtion of what you order. Last time I went to
Bueno I hit around $10. The quesedillas are NOT cheap, and
they charge extra for a side of sour cream. Also, every single
small "a la carte" item that I may order there costs over a buck.

I'm not a huge ribs guy, and while sausage is enjoyable, for me at
least, it takes a back-seat to the sliced or chopped beef. I've only
been to the two SB's that you like least, but I though they were ok
enuff. It's too bad I didnt get to sample Solly's before they closed.

Others have praised Soulman's too,I'll give it a shot if in that area.
