The one in Amarillo closed about 15 years ago. When it comes to Tex-Mex you gotta be good to survive in West Tx. Just plain Texas .

The best Mexican food is found in New Mexico, a nice enchilada plate with beans and rice. Hatch chili. Maybe with some Sopaipillas for the table.

Glad I never had any Brinkers stock. Romanos Macoroni Grill, On the Border...Chili's your up next. Every time I've eaten Chilis in like the last 5 yrs, everything tastes like paste or something. Zero flavor or different texture. If you would have had Brinker stock you would have done good. Brinker sold OTB to Golden Gate Capital in 2010 who then sold it to another company in 2014. A year or two before 2010 Brinker sold off Corner Bakery which is another story and Romanos Macoroni Grill. At this time the only restaurants Brinkers owns is Chili’s and Maggiano’s Little Italy. I have been on all of those restaurants roofs from Stephenville to Texarkana and Marshall to the east Durant to the north and Nacogdoches to the South. We have gone to LA, OK City, and other locations for Brinker and to Lubbock for OTB. We knew OTB was going under in January when they went silent on us and we saw them get locked out of some locations. We had an idea something was up as early as October. They got us for $89K and I know of another. Ended that they took for $33k!

Cut with her golden oars the silver stream,

IMO, Restaurant chains are money laundering operations. Where does the $$$$ go?

I can give you a long long list of behind the scenes costs that pile up. When you pay $3 bucks for iced tea you actually think the place makes 3 bucks don't you......

I like watching john taffer explain how to price food and drinks.
