Mi Dia From Scratch

[Geor!]

You know Brent we are as cool as the other side of the pillow, but I've never spent that much at a Mexican food restuarant of any kind. Hell I fed 30 ppl at my daughters college graduation and it was only $380.00 (no gratuity)
I'll spend $150.00-$200.00 at RC, Bobs or my favorite Del Friscos, but $100.00-$200.00 for mexican food. I bet I can go to Austin and Big Matt and I can have food, hookers and blow for $200.00...

Must be some shitty hookers and food then since an 8-ball is $120.

That's going all out, trying to sample as much stuff as we can. Both times we left with a full box of leftovers because we couldn't finish it all. You can definitely find a lot of stuff on the menu that is priced very reasonably and comparably, that's a lot better tasting/fresher/actually made in-house than most other places. The tabs I quoted also had 2 or 3 margaritas on them ($10-12 each). If I'm going to pay full price at Texas de Brazil, it's ~$100/2 people. I'd rather go to Mi Dia and leave with almost a whole dish of leftovers.

I grew up in Austin, and worked at some of the trendiest and most popular Tex-Mex places down there, and of course frequented the others. I'd rather eat at Mi Dia than the trendiest or cheapest places in Austin. When it's good,the food at Matt's El Rancho MIGHT be able to give this place a run, but it's wildly incosistent. Trudy's is great for Tex-Mex, and cheap with cheaper, better drinks, but horrible service EVERY TIME. Overall, I'd still pick Mi Dia.

Just my .10

Lunch G2G?

Friday? I might be down for some of that!

Sure, I'm off and could make that.

[Chas_svo]

I'll be starving by 1, but I can do that.

[Leah]

I'm out. Schedule won't work so don't wait for me. :-)

[Chas_svo]

Hotrod, or anybody else game? I can go whenever, but it will take me a bit to get over there from Haslet.

[hotrod66stang]

I'm game. I'm in N. FW, so I'm in the same boat. We can always wait if no one else can make it so that we don't have to make the drive through all the construction. Up to you, man.

[Chas_svo]

If we're gonna go, we better head that way soon, as I have a meeting I need to be back for this afternoon. I pm'ed my cell #.

[Leah]

I'd be down for some other time...I really want to try it out.

[Chas_svo]

You missed it Leah.

It was nice to meet you, Bryan. I'm sure we'll be talking again on 2.3t's.

WHAT I've never had shitty service there. Not sure if being married to the owners neice plays a part in it though.

I used to work there, and it's too long to get into on here. Horrible service, every time, every location. That is the standard, not the exception.

I only saw the guy once, at the North Star location (Burnet Rd/183), but I almost told him he needed to have some kind of oversight on his managers. You went nowhere in that company if you weren't a pseudo-intellectual hipster for the most part. There were more douchebags in that restaurant than all the others I worked in, combined. I can count the non-douchebags on one hand.
