Ninfas is just not good at all anymore, is it?

Used to think it was a pretty solid Tex Mex option. Somewhat fun place, decently fresh ingredients, in an okay atmosphere with okay service, and solidly prepared, if not anything innnovative, food.

I was in BR last night and went in there a little after 8. Place was clearing out, it seemed. I immediately noticed they'd gone from a somewhat trying to be upscale, if not a bit kitchsy, Tex Mex decor, to this awful bland cheap looking Hampton Inn Breakfast room look.

Hosetess literally wanted to sit us in the bus station, in a virtually empty place, and we asked to sit in the middle of the dining room, which they accomodated.

Waitress introduced herself and took our drink order. While everyone else in the place began to break down the dining room, going so far as to dusting the overhead ac vents.

Got chips and salsa, which were fine. Ordered house margaritas on the rocks which were tasteless.

Waitress pitched my wife something I knew would be an abomination when she was describing it. Basically it was fajita meat and the grilled shrimp, covered with jack cheese and bacon. Wife always liked the shrimp and fajitas and thought she'd give it a try. I got the plate with a cheese enchilada, tamale, and taco.

Wife's dish was exactly the abomination I envisioned. Although the execution was not really off, and was as advertised. She said the steak was so tough she couldn't eat it. I tasted a shrimp, and it was fine.

My tamale was a gigantic mass of cornmeal, stuffed with 6" long literal strings of beef. That was bad. Taco and enchilad completely ordinary at best.

The whole time we dined there was clearing out tables, sweeping, and general shutting down the dining room. We were finished and out of the place before 8:45 mind you. Waitress never asked us if we wanted another drink.

Has this place just completely run its course? Sure seems like it to me, as I'll be hard pressed to return.
