Good New Mexican Restaurant

 I second the kudos for Galerias. I went there Saturday night with a group
 of friends and we loved the place -- and the saucy owner.

 I wish I could say the same for the Santa Fe cafe on Phinney.

 Went there on Sunday and -- I'm not kidding -- it took 45 minutes for the
 frowny waiter to take our orders. Then food was another 40 minutes.
 That's a pretty long time for eggs, unless you're a chicken trying to lay
 one.

 Don't go there. You'll have better food, more fun and more money left in
 your wallet at Galerias.

 My most recent experience at this place involved a 45 minute wait to have
 my order taken, and another 45 minutes to get it. And the place wasn't
 even busy. We asked the servers several times why we (2 people) were
 waiting so long--they didn't know. That experience will keep me away.
