EDREDR: Everything is dipped into salsas, not the healthiest cuisine on the planet. There seems to be discrimination towards normal women as waitresses all look like Barbies. Air-conditioning was unbearable.

Misty M.Misty Mysty: Dinner was delicious! The ribs were moist, tender and flavorful. The pork sandwich was delectable. The bun was buttered and lightly toasted and so 'baker-fresh' soft!

TaylorTaylor: Get a scorpion bowl...it always seems like a good idea.
