I just took "no legal limit" to mean that anything is too much...

Basically, this is correct since you could have one beer, be at .02 BAC, but due to the ingestion of other substances be 'bombed out of your gourd' as we used to say., and be intoxicated.

It could be 10 years since your last beer and still be intoxicated because of other substances.

OK you scared me a bit there. Good one.

Absolutely the worse Mexican food available in the world today. Everything on the menu tastes exactly the same. The salsa is similar to a can of tomato sauce. We ate there once and all agreed. That place is way over rated. All we can figure out is that there are a lot of white folks who don't know what real mexican food is suppose to taste like.

Same for Zio's.

A restaurant for those who've never eaten Italian food.

Absolutely the worlds worst Italian food, ah, make the faux Italian food.

Everybody who knows, knows that the best Mexican food is found at little hole-in-the-wall Taquerias and at the single-location restaurants that have been around forever.

Yep... It's a fact!

La Cumbre in the San Francisco Mission District. You basically have to order in Spanish and you get the best burrito I will ever have. Wash it down with a Jarritos and you are good to go.

It sounds like you're lucky enough not to eat at Pappasitos or Cadillac Bar yet.

No, but I appreciate the warning!

Haven't been to Pappasito's in a long time, but I remember they had some great chicken fajitas they were really proud of.

Ninfa's used to be a good chain, but it's gone downhill recently. Guess the bean-counters got to Mama Ninfa....

El Tiempo is a very good cantina in the Ninfa's family. Mama Ninfa used to personally hostess the original El Tiempo before she passed. I would not be surprised though if after her passing Ninfa's became very corporatized.

If your ever in Austin and looking for Tex Mex I suggest http://www.enchiladasymas.com/" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; Hole in the wall, well actually what looks like an old converted house. Family ran. Go easy on the salsa first bite, never know with that stuff :) Just guess it depends on how mad the mom in law that comes in each day to make the salsa is in. Best Tex MEX I have ran across. If the parking lot was not always 3/4th full just about every time I passed by the place, I would never have stopped just because of the looks of the place. Those on a diet need not walk in the door. Fair price, GREAT food and wonderful staff. I hear you need to be real careful with the margaritas, but never have had one.

Worst Mexican food I ever had was a place called Tortilla Coast in D.C. We were there on our honeymoon and my husband felt like Mexican for lunch. I wasn't really enthusiastic because I couldn't imagine they'd do Mexican food as well as we do it down here, and the name had me even more suspicious. I tried suggesting a couple of Asian places instead. But we went for Mexican, and it was... well, memorable anyway. They gave us something they called salsa, but other than being red and tomato-based I'm confused as to the connection. No zip at all. There were tortilla chips, and tortillas. But otherwise it was pretty much a bust. Not awful food, but definitely not Mexican food.
