Gotta love those $1.00 RuSan’s spore rolls.
The Ru San’s link is wrong. Links to Peasant Bistro’s report! Maybe for the best as I am not sure I really want to see theirs!
Didn’t Grace Lee turn Palmera’s into Cruzado??

Her Facebook page shows that she got a 99 on her report.
hi carl, cruzado scored a 99 on july 30. the score posted above reflects las palmeras’ score of an 67 on july 27 – three days earlier.

I’m pretty sure Neuvo Laredo failed again in July as well. I think they got a score in the 50’s.
It seems unkind to post the failing rating for Las Palmeras (however deserved it was) at just the moment when its successor is trying to establish a clientele. The news about Las Palmeras does not provide a community service since it’s entirely unactionable information — we can’t avoid going to a restaurant that no longer exists. Rather, this posting may turn people away from the new establishment — which scored a passing rating — just when it needs them most.
I agree with Midtown Blue… Las Palmeras doesn’t even exist anymore… This can only hurt Cruzado’s business. What’s the point?
Midtownblue, I totally agree with you! Just a note, Las Palmeras was great and will be greatly missed!!! We wiish the very best to Cruzados!!!! We all need to patronize these establishments more instead of chains!!!!
He’s just posting the truth, and it’s a lot easier to pass an inspection 3 days later when you know it’s coming.
One a side note, how is that RuSans still open? Seems like they fail regularly and all you see are negative reviews.
Concerning my earlier post, Nuevo Laredo received a 58 and later a 72 on what I guess was the re-inspection.
