Most Mexican restaurants don't charge for chips, and I think that's the way it should be. There's a place in Stockton, off of 8 mile road, with the name of a popular hot green pepper proudly displayed in neon above the store, that charges $1.50 for chips. What? They were good but that's a deal breaker. Never again.
