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

its not good plus the decor went to shite. What does Baton rouge have to do to get a Pappasito's?

How can a place be so clueless as to how offputting this would be to a paying customer?

its college students who coast to get buy. the manager should train the hostess to seat only one section of the restaurant so that the guest arent in the middle of the servers doing closing duties everywhere else.

lately i find it really annoying when i have to wait 20 minutes for a check on account of a server trying to do closing shift work. i just dont go out to eat much these days. the service sucks more and more each time i go out.

Except for Mestizo's, as a group the Texmex places in BR might as well be a chain. Same menu items because "this is what people like", bland spice levels for the blue hairs and chain stroker gringos, indifferent college student servers.

but to be fair, this is my Tex-Mex experience pretty much everywhere except for Texico, and a very few select few major cities.

Yeah...I don't really know what people are expecting to find at a TexMex place. I mean, TexMex was pretty much invented for white folks.

Salty, cheesy, overly spicy in some cases, goodness.




right. if you want something re-inventing the wheel then don't go to a tex-mex place. It is what it is.

The gist of my complaints weren't really about the food. I would never go there (or any "Tex Mex" place) expecting anything close to mindblowing, cuisine-wise. Although, comparatively speaking, the food generally seemed to be a bit off from what I had gotten from there in the past.

I was addressing the folks acting like BR is unique in having homogeneous and largely shitty Tex Mex food.

I can't disagree with this, that why I wrote that my expectations were so low at Las Palmas. I also agree that the only place I have had great Tex-Mex was Texico, particularly East Houston areas(if that is what you mean by Texico). Some of that has been incredible.

Have not tried Blue Coyote, so I don't know if it is different.

Originally from Avoyelles parish, the only thing that sticks out that I've only had over there is

Gog

and

Garfish balls sauce piquante

For no less than a decade, the manager of Ninfa's has been a guy from Monterrey, Mexico. I haven't been there recently, but as long as Nando is at the helm, I've never had a bad meal there.

It's not authentic, but considering the amount of time the manager spends in the kitchen, the food is fairly consistent. Their training program also seemed to be noticeably better than other Tex-Mex restaurants, it's extremely rare that I would get bad service there.
