It is all about the fries. If they are starch coated, no thanks and no go. If they are fresh cut or frozen, with no coating, I'm there. Thank you Nicks, 98 BBQ, Johnny McTighes, Maries, Flip Flops, Ballyhoo (what is the deal with Ballyhoo right now?), The Vue, Salty Sue's (PCB), Wild Olives, and even McDonald's! (Miramar).
If you are in the mood for a delicious margarita and the best salsa, chips and cheese dip ever, go to La Cocina!
