Doncha love it?
Here in stodgy ol' Richmond good restaurants are few and far between, as most are either chain restaurants like TGI Fridays or yuppie places that serve exotic-sounding things that turn out to be renamed rare beef and the like.

But downtown is a little obscure hole in the wall that serves the best Mexican food in town, and I go there with my kids from time to time. It's always busy, the food is always top notch, the servers are always pleasant and quick, and overall it's a great place to eat for relatively little money.

I told a woman I know of it and she gave a derisive snort. "That's not authentic Mexican food- the owners are Greek!"

I thought about that for a moment. "So? The food tastes better than the so-called authentic places around town. Isn't that what really matters?"

Pretentious twits. If it tastes good and is reasonably priced, what more do you really need?
