Yeah, and that wasn't the worst of it.  I stopped going when they changed their recipes for rice and beans.  They used to serve good, authentic Mexican style rice and boiled pinto beans, but the last time I was in there the rice was some fat-free/salt-free concoction that appeared to be seasoned with Schilling's chili powder, and the beans had bits of tomato floating in with them.  If I want faux-Mexican food like that I can eat at the company cafeteria.
