A regular 2-3 times a week in Dayton as well as regular visits to Oklahoma City. There are two in Florida, near Tampa and Orlando, which we intend to seek out but a quick trip to the Cincinnati area for a wedding a couple of weeks ago resulted in a visit in norhtern Kentucky during non-meal times, but we stopped anyway. Perhaps our Mexican food desires will be met with the new Mexican restaurant to soon be opened in the Colony shopping area as that is in our backyard.

Abuelo's is my favorite! I really do miss it and put it on the survey TV does every year, so far to no avail. I know of the 2 here in FL (haven't made the trip to try them yet), but would rather have one here. Anytime we go back to Amarillo or Lubbock, we go almost every day. When we lived in Amarillo, it was only a few blocks from our house (that was both good and bad, if you know what I mean.)
Since they have advertised as having Tex-Mex, maybe the new Mexican place in Colony will be the next best thing. We can only hope. As for Red Lobster here, our experience there has always been good. They have an excellent lunch, but we have not been there for dinner so can't say about that.
