The boomers were unhappy when Nati’s Mexican closed down after 60 years of operation. It was pretty awful from my two visits over 15 years, expensive but heavy and bland.
I lacked the nostalgic connection with it, though it did evoke ChiChi’s bad Mexican chain food in Ohio in the 1990s. 1990s ChiChi’s was so bad that it had a menu item called “fried ice cream” and even that was bad.
In its place is a drastically better hipster Mexican place that has a great semi-outdoor setup. And the prices are about the same as Nati’s, just better environment and food.
