text: It appears that as I get older I get cheaper Such is my reinforced experience with Ajo Als yesterday I stopped in for lunch with my blind friend who despite having lost his vision years ago can feel out good food from eight miles away We were seated quickly and I started to peruse the lunch menu only to be shocked that everything was Since when in the hell is everything for lunch That is a dinner entree price not a lunch price Lunch should be or at most nnAfter getting over my Scroogelike reaction at the menu prices I ordered the pollo con queso shredded chicken covered with cheese and a spicy baja cream cheese suace It was heavenly as I remember it from years ago My dining companion chose the mushroom enchilada which also was quite tasty nnI still hate the way they serve the salsa here in tall narrow tumblers It is impossible to dip your chips in the salsa container where is a damn bowl when you need one so I had to pour it onto my salad plate and scrape up the salsa from there Overall the salsa is only average It needs more kick and this is a big issue for Mexican restaurants in my head nnYou do end up with large portions but I would like to see them pare down the portion sizes and the prices accordingly Two for lunch cost as much as three for dinner the other night at Juans on Thomas and th Street That is not right nnSo overall Ajo Als gets a B for food quality but a D for prices The salsa helped me arrive at my threestar rating for this place With minor changes this could easily be a fourstar place Make it so oh culinary gods
