It doesn't have the transparent waiters, and they serve Mexican, but it's a family business, the informal drink ordering and waiting just seems right. If you ever get a chance, Los Dos Molinos (2 locations, one on Central looks better). Be warned, it is spicy. -Jot -- Jot Powers <books at bofh.com> http://www.bofh.com/books/ "I'm upping my standards, so up yours!" -Pat Paulsen (1927-1997), Presidential Campaign Slogan
