I never understood why that place was so popular. My friends and I went there once and it definitely wasn't worth the 20-30min drive. It's sort of out in the middle of nowhere too, so it's not like you're just in the neighborhood and it's easy to stop by.

I never went, but it appears that the place has quite a few positive comments. Do you think a place like Alto Cinco or even Ponchitos was better? It was out of the way and I wonder if its location had something to do with it closing. I guess Mesa Grande will have to be the choice for Tex-Mex for people on that side of town, once it opens in Township 5.

Never went to Ponchitos, but yes Alto Cinco was definitely way better. Since Boom Boom was cafeteria style, I'd imagine they were just pumping out high volumes of ok food. I remember I had a taco salad and the edible taco bowl tasted so stale and just blah. I mean, I guess for what it was it was ok - cheap mediocre food.

Interesting and I also think that it is/was a matter of being one of a few in terms of Mexican/Tex-Mex restaurants in the area. It kind of reminds me of Juanita's when it was open. I never understood what people were raving about.
There was also a more authentic restaurant by the name of Jalapeno's that was really good, but never got a lot of buzz.

There really aren't a lot of Mexican places in the Syracuse area. I know that's something that TJ has commented on before. I have been to The Mission once as well and it also wasn't anything to write home about. Now I'm spoiled in Philly with a million restaurants in every cuisine you could think of There's a really good Mexican place 2 blocks from my house, I normally take anyone visiting me there and it's always been a hit.

While there are a couple of solid choices in the area, if someone came along and brought good, authentic Mexican food to the area, it could/should do well around here.
Philly being the size that it is as the 6th biggest city in the US, allows it to have a lot of food options. Eventhough there isn't a relatively high Mexican percentage, there is a big enough population as to where they can have their share of good Mexican restaurants.
After finding out about this news and the fact that it is a participating school involved in the Say Yes to Education program, I wonder if some kids that graduate from a SCSD high school will consider looking into going there for college.
Admission will be tough and competitive, but it is just a thought. This would also go for Buffalo, which also has the Say Yes program.
