I think it's customary at the real Mexican restaurants to serve chips and salsa and things 😍😍mmmm❤️❤️❤️❤️

I don't eat in restaurants, but it reminds me of when I first moved out west. My girlfriend sang in a Mexican restaurant and the first time I went in there I was brought a basket of tortilla chips and a bowl of salsa. I dipped a chip and couldn't understand why anyone would eat that, it burned my mouth so bad I had drink a whole glass of water. A couple months later, I was scooping up as much salsa as I could get onto a chip!

yes they do that here. NC

It's common practice at Mexican restaurant. Chips are complimentary. I think El Torito does that too, but their food is more hybrid.

No such animal here.

You think they are free but nothing is so the cost either goes on the food or on cutting quality elsewhere

Nice if they do. I don't eat Mexican food. If found it too highly flavoured and quite spicy.

Some don't anymore. And I want to know why... ;)

Just encourages cheap fatty food to be consumed

It has been so, in my experience, in AK, LA, PA & FL

I wish I was at one right now :/

Yes, I think its pretty normal.

Just chips n salsa up here.

Yes,they do!

We don't get queso but most of our restaurants in Wisconsin get chips and a variety of salsa.
