Do the Mexican restaurants in your area give free chips & dips?

They do in Oklahoma when you buy an entree. The waiter brings the chips & dips (cheese dip & assorted salsas plus most also bring warm tortillas & butter) as soon as you get seated and keeps the refills coming. Is this a common practice at the Mexican restaurants where you live (if you live in another state besides Oklahoma)?

Most here in California and in Texas when I was growing up brought out chips and 1 salsa. A few here nothing w/o $. Your spread is a feast in comparison. Point me in the right direction next time I'm in your neck of the woods.

sierralover: Some of the restaurants will even bring small bowls of pickled veggies, there are few specialty sauces they might charge for though...they keep the refills coming on the sauces & chips for long as it takes them to get your meal out.
