| - I've been to Lalo's three times, and really want to love it, but they are going in the wrong direction. The first time, shortly after they opened, the food was great, as was the service. On that visit, in addition to our orders, the owner brought out tamales for us to sample. The second time, our experience was good, but not exceptional, but service was attentive. On our most recent trip, we saw our server when the order was taken, when salsa and chips came, when the food was delivered, and when the bill was presented. No check-in on quality or food satisfaction. My friend's chile relleno was undercooked - it took a steak knife to cut it. There was one chile relleno, a small portion of unexceptional Mexican rice, and a shmear of beans. My fajitas were gristly and dry. I am sorry that I no longer love Lalo's. There are enough authentic Mexican restaurants in town that Lalo's needs to be better than mediocre.
