    While I hugely regret the demise of "Bona Fides", a place I cherished and spent dozens of New Years Eves at, if the new Mexican place offers half the quality that BF used to provide, I'll be a frequent 'orderer outer'. The place on the SE corner of 5th and 2nd blew both chances I gave it. Food tasted like it was rescued from the garbage can. Not once did I see a familiar face in their outdoor seating area. And I'm not a 'foodie' by any means. Quite the opposite, actually.
