 J&T is a joke.  Even if I lived upstairs I wouldn't bother to eat there.
 It's unclear that they even should be allowed to advertise that they
 have mexican food.  I went once and the food was so bad (microwaved enchilada
 sauce straight from the Old ElPaso can) that we finished our pitcher of beer
 and left.  If you like J&T you'll be thrilled with Chi Chi's and Tequila Junction.
 It may be a local bar, it may serve mexican-like food, but it certainly shouldn't
 be in the Guide as a mexican restaurant.

 Maybe you went at the wrong time. I've never had this problem. I've
 been there half a dozen times and never had this problem.

 OK, and what is so bad about Tequila Junction?  I've eaten there a
 number of times and have never had a problem with it. In fact, most of
 the food is quite good.

 You know, one of the problems I have with this group is that a number
 of posters aren't content with "I disagree. I don't like the food
 there and here's why." Instead, we contantly get bombarded with
 the stated or implied "and if you do like the food there, you
 obviously know nothing at all about food."

 Football coaches talk about character, gut checks, intensity and
 reckless abandon. Tommy Lasorda said, "Managing is like holding a dove
 in your hand. Squeeze too hard and you kill it; not hard enough and it
 flies away."
