Yeah. The Gringo owners were cool. Now it blows.
Speaking of places that went south due to Ticos, the all-time winner is Santa Ana's Tex Mex. It used to dominate as a hangout...then some Ticos tried to make it upscale. TIMBERRRRRR
I remember seeing Tex Mex for sale they wanted like a million for the place.. Is it still mexican food or did they change that too?????
The one time I went there after the Santa Ana festival it had Mexican food. But, the prices were about doubled and they change guacamole recipes. We even pointed that out but the seemed to like their new recipe better. They also had a BBQ menu and tried to use fancy-presented plates, which didn't fit the theme one bit. Have never been back since.
