well the food quality is a match

I always thought Fuzzys was a bad name for a Taco Shop. Makes me think of mold on tacos. Their white queso is good. The price of their tacos is high. Tacos from a Torta place or gas station taco vendor is better and cheaper.

The first and most noticeable thing to go downhill is always the chips. Big restaurant groups gotta save a few pennies and buy cheap ass chips (at bulk prices) that have no flavor or sad texture. Hope Fuzzy's doesn't go this way, but so many have....not holding my breath.

Fuzzys is awful.Gave it 3 chances.

Boooooo

Ah, so the food will be even worse now.
