    Pancho and Lefty’s?…Hell we thought they went out of business years ago, the last time we were in there they were playing “Heavy Metal” music and our waiter was complaining about only making $2.15 a hour and said he hoped we would give him a good tip ( this before we even ordered )…yeah, here’s a tip, stop playing Heavy Metal music in a Mexican restaurant…guess we’ll have to give ’em another chance, and bring ear plugs
