"How about The Rose Cafe?"
"No, that place is terrible."
"Terrible?"
"They don't serve real Mexican food."
"Are you kidding? That is real Mexican food. It's diner Mexican food."
"There's no such thing as diner Mexican food."
"The hell there isn't. You go into that place and the customers are all wearing John Deer hats and drinking coffee. Those guys are real. They survived World War II and they like their beans and rice partitioned on plates. You remember Javier's in Santa Maria?"
"No."
"The same fifteen guys were always in there, drinking coffee with their sides of beans and rice partitioned. That's the real deal."
"Tio Alberto's is better."
"Tio Alberto's couldn't hold a candle to The Rose Cafe. They don't serve coffee and they sure as hell don't partition their beans and rice. Plus, they went out of business."
