    Crawfish enchiladas were very good. Had chile con queso appetizer, which was decent. Service was great, and very attentive. Lunch menu has many more offerings than your typical TexMex (MexMex) place.

    New Picos location at old Ninfa's spot. 1,000% better food, service, and remodeled decor. Happy hour menu of ten food items for $10 is a winner.

    Carne asada (only $10), queso with fajita meat appetizer, and top shelf frozen margarita. Great for lunch.

    Good lunch specials. 10 entrées for $10. Top shelf frozen = $10.50 vs. $5 regular Rita's. Worth the extra money even though smaller and > twice as expensive.

    The cheapest item here is at least $10 but I definitely worth it. I highly recommend it.

    Top shelf frozen best in town. But now cost $11/drink. Still worth it.

    The food is still good as in the old place. But the prices are much higher. Besides, one has to use valet parking even when the parking lot is almost empty or risk parking on the street.
