Buho's mexican in Exton

Just went to Buho's in Exton. Thought is was ok, a little on the high side for prices. I had 5 small enchiladas with a small scoop of rice and beans for $14. Tortilla soup and nachos looked good. No burritos or tacos on the dinner menu except vegetarian. Not sure how they will be able to compete with a Chipotle a block away. Still looking for the perfect Mexican dive. Moroleon is equal to La Tolteca.
Nothing yet to compare to west coast Mexican..

Breakfast, brunch, coffee in Exton to King of Prussia area?

IMHO, Classic Diner is way over rated. Trying to be too much like a California breakfast place and is not very good, very plain, very crowded. I would choose any diner instead and stay with the basics. Our Deli in Paoli I think is just as good and not crowded, but still pretty basic.

pho ha - excellent

Pho is all about the broth.. Pho Ha is excellent. Went there today for a late lunch and had a great bowl of pho with some iced coffee.I have had pho from in may cities around the country and in Vietnam, this ranks up there as one of the better bowls I have had.

So what is different with this explanation than running any other business? Don't you want to know how much gas is going to cost before you fill your tank? Or how much a garment will cost before you wait in line to buy it.

Just because you have price flucuations, I still think it the responsibility of management to be up front with pricing and not be suprised bya 10%-20% change.

Does anyone know of any other restaurant that has this an on goingn practice?

They are probably not reporting the extra revenue on the upcharge and treating it as "free money"

Is it ok, to have a menu state "prices subject to change"? My family ate at The Clasic Diner in Malvern recently and the bill was 10% higher than the stated prices on the menu. In questioning this, I was told it was due to flucuating food prices. Funny, but a bottle of soda was 20% higher then what was on the menu. Our final bill was 10% higher, every item we ordered not being the same prices as was on the menu. I thought the food was all right, but there are plenty of other places to get a good meal and not have to guess what your final bill will be.

I eat out a lot, but this is the first time this has ever happened to me. Is this practice more common than I think?
