This is kind of off the Orlando thread but on the chain thread none the
less I suppose hehehe ;-)
We have a place here in Columbus,IN call The Hacienda, Its a chain of some
sort that replaced another mexican chain in the same spot in the mall. As
soon as you are in the door you are greeted by a cabinet with a variety of
Habanero Sauces for you to choose from for your heat enjoyment. Only place
Ive seen that ever offered a few kinds to choose from.
Same basic chain food though as most other chains.
The other mexican place here is Tapatio's which Ive seen the name around
but this place is run not like a chain. Not a good english speaking
hispanic in the whole place hehehe. And the food isnt chain food either. I
recommend the Fajitas Jalisco with Shrimp. Very Tasty. More than enough to
eat. Also another thing that I like is that every dish that requires cheese
(nachos,tacos, fajitas, etc) has generous portions of a spicy pepper jack
cheese rather than plain ole mozza cheese. I chow and they have to roll me
out every time I go there. :-)
