THE REAL PROBLEM I HAVE IS THAT THESE TYPES OF RESTAURANTS MAY CREATE A BUZZ WHEN THEY FIRST OPEN THEN AS TIME GOES BY THEY ONLY APPEAL TO A SELECT FEW. TO ME THERE ARE TOO MANY PLACES SERVING QUESTIONABLE CHINESE FOOD, BORING MCDONALD'S FOOD OR DRY FRIED CHICKEN. THEN USUALLY WHEN SOME PLACE NEW (AND OFTEN UNHEARD OF) OPENS IT IS A DISGUSTING FLOP. NOT TO MENTION THE BAD CUSTOMER SERVICE. IT ALL LEAVES A BAD TASTE IN MY MOUTH.

Coming from Richmond, we were very excited to see the Mexico restaurant here in our new home. For good food of the Mexican variety that won't cost you an arm and a leg, this is definately a place to consider. The people that opened here are actually people from the Mechanicsville restaurant, so its not like they just like the restaurant and decide to open one up here. The Richmond restaurants are family owned and the one up here is just like the ones we went to there. Good food, cheap prices. Calvert is definately lax in the restaurant department, we could use a few more around!

I have never heard of any "Mexico" restaurant chain. Doesn't really matter, I like this restaurant - I've tried Taco Bell, Salsaritas, La Tolteca and Mexico and for my money, Mexico is easily the best place to go if you want a good meal for a good price and also impressive and friendly service. The food has always been piping hot and fresh when I've been there.

It is true there is a Delaware chain of "La Toltecas", however the people who opened the one in PF also have restaurants in Salisbury,MD., Waldorf and Williamsburg,VA. As for the Mexico restaurant, they also have one in Waldorf (same people). The food at either of these beats the pants off Taco Bell.

Now we have one in Lusby! Haven't been yet, but another Mexican restaurant is coming directly across the street (La Tolteca? not sure).
What will become of Guido's?

Mary said...
Richard, there was a sign at one time indicating that Monterey's is the Mexican restaurant that would be opening in Lusby.

Dot, welcome to Calvert County. If you're unhappy with the restaurant choices here, you're always welcome to return to Richmond. I'm constantly amazed by the number of people who move here, then complain about what we don't have to suit their convenience. WE Calvert Countians liked our county the way it was, not the way it has overgrown. May I suggest before your next move that you research the area FIRST before deciding to move there.

And dont forget, Dot, there are those "locals" that always want to find some way to insult newcomers - but by and large, calvert is a friendly bunch :)

Mary said...
Dale, I'm deeply sorry if you thought my comments would be considered insulting. I was merely trying to point out that if people move here for a certain reason (say, quality of life), then why try to change it once here? ... from a friendly Calvert Countian

I for one would love to have a variety of restaurant choices! No Mary, I am not "from Calvert County" but I have lived here for the last 10 years. I don't always want to drive 40 miles for something to eat (3 mexican restaurants within walking distance of each other - are you serious?). I don't think a Red Robin, Red Lobster, Olive Garden, Fuddruckers, Carrabbas, Smokey Bones, Fridays or a host of other choices would ruin your "quality of life". Actually(hopefully), it might give some of the teenagers and young adults hanging around the Faststop with nothing to do a place of employment. I am single, fairly young and enjoy going out and being social. Southern Calvert does not offer a lot of alternatives to a person like myself who doesn't eat in as much as they eat out. I am not calling Calvert "old" but it could use a little variety for the younger more social population. Outside of the lack of options, I like my "qualtiy of life"!
