Looking at the decor, the likely rents on their places, I don't see that they can compete on price with the hole-in-the-wall Mexican diners. So, I agree with you, the bargains come at the "high end." (Which, in this case, is something like $20-24 for a platter. In other words, the price of a basic steak plate at Outback or Claim Jumper. So, while not expensive when compared to "The French Laundry," for example, much more than a cheese enchilada diner place typically charges.) --Tim May
