To: Verginius Rufus
Rubios is a rather second rate chain. IMHO. Too clean and modern to make killer Mexican food. ;)

I have heard of a Lynxus Rufus (Bobcat) what, pray-tell, is a Verginius Rufus?

I was told that not long ago by a Mexican woman who lives in San Diego (legal immigrant) that Rubio's isn't so good--at least she doesn't care for their food.

Verginius Rufus was a Roman general who twice refused his soldiers' efforts to put him forward as emperor (AD 68-69 period). He was consul three times and when he died the historian Tacitus gave the eulogy. He symbolizes the fact that there can be decent and honorable people even when those at the head of the government are totally corrupt--or incompetent.
