Today (Jan 20) we went to meet at Loco's as usual, but the Falcons' playoff game was on TV and there was no parking space or room inside. We went next door to Agua Linda. There was almost no one else in the place. The service was great and the prices were lower than Loco's. The food is very good ( yes it is mostly Mexican).

Those of us at the meeting feel that Agua Linda might be a good place to move our monthly meeting to. Loco's used to be happy to have us there, but of late, they don't seem to care if we are there and I think Agua Linda would be glad for the business.

Please post your thoughts. If the consensus is to move, I will go talk to Agua Linda and see if they will give us any kind of a deal to come there.

Service was better for sure and the food was on the table a lot quicker too.. At Locos it takes couple of servers to do what the one server did today.

The service was great today- they kept coming by to refill glasses and see if we needed anything else- plus, the food was good too- you can always alternate meeting places too, since they're right next door to each other-

Sorry I missed it but a new location is good with me. Locos service has much to be desired.

I vote for the change. The reason I wasan't there yesterday after spending almost 2 hours of car cleaning was because I called at 2:30 and was told the only seating available was outside tables and the parking was pretty much gone. I agree the service has gone down hill and the menu change has deleted some of the options i would choose. I went to La Parilla's at 5 and carried out Nacho Mexicanas. So, Mexican works for me.

I like alternating between the two... Being next door to each other should make that possible without confusion.

I'm cool with it...besides, they have a bigger parking lot. Comes in handy when you are push starting a 6 volt car! Laughing

We seem to have no one opposed to the change and I think Jake makes a good point about parking lot proximity. We will alternate so we don't get totally tired of Mexican food.

I'll fill in the location for each month on the yearly event sticky.
