A while ago, we went to a restaurant that looked nice. We decided to go in and try it, El Agave Mexican Restaurant in Southaven on Airways. Once inside we were shown to a table and given a menu. Roughly six or seven minutes after turning in our order, we had it sitting in front of us, hot and steaming. We weren’t timing it so we don’t know exactly. However, we were both surprised at how fast it was. The food was better than I expected and there was plenty.

Then, the really surprising part. The bill was but about $23. I’m sure most will spend more there but the wife and I don’t drink alcoholic beverages. I don’t know, but they might have given us a senior’s discount. The staff was really friendly and professional.

I’m thinking why would anyone want to go to McDonald’s when there are places like this. I mean, it seemed they had their own definition of fast food. If McDonald’s wants to stay in business, they might want to take note. They have a really nice place providing competition. I might say Wendy’s should take note of it too. All the ads in the world will do little to cover up poor service, especially with the prices as they are.

Incidentally, I rarely leave a five dollar tip, but this time I did. I didn’t consider that too much even though it was nearly 25% of the cost of the meal. The food and service was that good. If I wasn’t living on Social Security, I would have left seven dollars.
