I ate there last night as well. It's not your typical Mexican menu, the food is different! Everything is made from scratch (they make their own cheese for Heaven's sake) and buy locally whenever possible so that's an added plus for me.
The bf got the seafood enchiladas (forgot what they called it), and he loved it! It had tons decent sized steamed shrimp and a lot of chunky fresh backfin crab. I had a loaded chicken burrito which was excellent! We had that together with chips and salsa (chips made by scratch as well) along with our sides.

Can anyone refer to themselves as 'Chef So and So' or do they have to go through culinary school before being labeled as such?

"chef - a person who cooks professionally for other people. Although over time the term has come to describe any person who cooks for a living, traditionally it refers to a highly skilled professional who is proficient in all aspects of food preparation." I think it depends who you talk to, someone who has completed a culinary school (CIA) or whatever doesn't look favorably on bubba putting on a chef's hat and calling himself Chef.

I love Texas Road House
Send you friend down to the olive garden. I just sprayed a batch of white sauce all over their bathroom wall.
I'll give it a big fat Meh, for now. I understand that they just opened, but the wait for food was long, they didn't have enough staff on hand and were turning people away or having people wait for one of the many available tables, so the kitchen could keep up. Only 8 tables were in use when we left. The food was okay, nothing fantabulous. I may try it again in a month or so after they have time to work the kinks out.

Love that place!I heard the new place in Waldorf was a 'fancy' version of Chipotle, i.e. nuthin' special or different really. Menu seems pretty simple.

I heard they were making their own cheese by someone who works there. Hell if I know where they're keeping the cows!

Why do they need cows? You make cheese from milk, available anywhere locally. Lots of people make their own cheese at home.
