This is a principle that I've often found applicable to Mexican/Mexican-American food: the more impressive the decor, the less impressive the food. The Chicago area has lots of unassuming taquerias that knock the socks off of fancy, nationally-advertised chains.

Also, chains seldom can keep their good quality, there is always someone that starts optimizing profit before quality. The small places lives by their quality and wants to be proud about their food.
