That's unfortunate. Remember when they were the "Next Big Thing" (NBT)...

I think there was a management change, and not for the better.

They really took a turn for the worse when they started the buffet. It was pretty bad. That's unfortunate because for the first 9 months they were really, really good and quite the value.

I was in that plaza today, and when I left, I noticed the "open" sign illuminated, and the lights were on...

I remember having quite the conversation with Mark and Linda about this at the CQ offline. It was coming and I knew it. When a Cuban restaurant gets to the point at which they can't execute beans and rice or the Cuban Sandwich, well, it's over.

I'd never slam a restaraunt here- I'll always hope they can improve, internally.
