                 Note to Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements
                                     (Unaudited)




        1.  Basis of presentation and other accounting information.

            The consolidated  condensed financial  statements and information
            included  herein  are   unaudited;  however,  they  reflect   all
            adjustments  which are, in  the opinion  of Management, necessary
            for  a  fair statement  of  the  results  of  operations for  the
            interim  periods  ended June  30,  1995  and  June  30, 1994  and
            financial  position at June  30, 1995.   The  adjustments consist
            only of  normal recurring items.   The results  of operations for
            the   six  months  ended   June  30,  1995  are  not  necessarily
            indicative of  the results  to be  expected for  the full  fiscal
            year.    The  notes  to  the  consolidated  financial  statements
            contained  in the  December 31, 1994  Annual Report  on Form 10-K
            should be  read in  conjunction with  the consolidated  condensed
            financial statements.

                       MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
                    FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS


          Liquidity and Capital Resources

          The Company  has an unsecured credit facility  with a $16,000,000
          commitment comprised of  a $15,000,000 revolving  line of  credit
          and a $1,000,000 letter of  credit facility.  The line  of credit
          matures on  December 31,  1996, and  may be  converted to a  term
          loan, payable  quarterly on a 10-year  amortization schedule, and
          maturing on December 31, 1998.   Both the line of credit  and the
          term loan bear interest at the Company's option of prime  rate or
          up to six-month LIBOR  plus .75 percent.  Both  rates are subject
          to  maintaining  certain  financial covenants,  and  interest  is
          payable upon  maturity of  the  LIBOR advances  or quarterly  for
          prime  rate advances.    In addition,  a  commitment fee  of  .25
          percent  is payable quarterly on  any unused commitments.   As of
          June  30,  1995, $8,750,000  was  outstanding under  the  line of
          credit.   The credit facility was obtained for the funding of the
          construction   of   new  Company-owned   restaurants,  remodeling
          existing  restaurants,   and  the   purchase  of   the  Company's
          headquarters facility  during 1993.   The  Company plans  to open
          approximately eight El  Chico restaurants  and estimates  capital
          expenditures  during 1995  to  be  approximately  $13,000,000  to
          $15,000,000 which will be  funded by internal operations and  the
          existing credit facility.

          During the quarter  one Company-owned "El  Chico" restaurant  and
          one franchised "El Chico" restaurant were opened in Humble, Texas
          and Wichita, Kansas, respectively.

          Working  capital  decreased  from  a  deficit  of  $4,006,000  at
          December  31, 1994 to  a deficit of $4,186,000  at June 30, 1995,
          primarily as a result of a decrease in prepaid expenses and cash,
          partly offset by a decrease in accrued liabilities.


          Results of Operations

          Revenues  for the quarter ended June 30, 1995 were $26.7 million,
          an increase  of 8.5 percent, as compared to $24.6 million for the
          quarter ended  June 30,  1994.   Company-owned  restaurant  sales
          included in these amounts  were $25.7 million and $23.9  million,
          respectively, an increase of 7.6 percent reflecting the  addition
          of  new  stores.    Comparable  Company-owned  El  Chico  concept
          restaurant sales were down 1.8 percent.

          Year-to-date  revenues were  $51.3  million compared  with  $47.5
          million  for  the same  period  a  year earlier.    Company-owned
          restaurant sales included in these amounts were $49.7 million and
          $46.2 million, respectively.  The increase of 7.5 percent was due
          to the addition of new stores, partly offset by a decrease of 2.0
          percent in comparable Company-owned El Chico restaurants.

          Results of Operations - Cont'd.

          Franchise-related  income  increased for  the  quarter  due to  a
          franchise  fee related  to  the opening  of  the Wichita,  Kansas
          restaurant and  an  increase in  comparable  store sales  of  1.4
          percent, partly offset by  a decrease in the number  of franchise
          stores during the quarter.  Year-to-date franchise-related income
          decreased as  a result of a  decrease in the  number of franchise
          stores,  partly offset by an  increase in same-store  sales of .5
          percent and the Wichita, Kansas franchise fee.

          Pronto  Design  &   Supply,  Inc.  (Pronto)  is  a  wholly  owned
          subsidiary in the business of designing food-service kitchens and
          supplying the  related equipment.  Equipment  sales increased for
          the  quarter and  year-to-date,  primarily  due  to the  sale  of
          kitchen equipment  to the Wichita, Kansas  franchisee.  Equipment
          cost of sales  for the  quarter and year-to-date  increased as  a
          percentage of sales  due to  higher vendor rebate  income a  year
          ago.

          Restaurant  food costs for the  quarter decreased as a percentage
          of sales to 25.2 percent  from 25.7 percent and for the  year-to-
          date to 25.3 percent from  25.7 percent as a result of  a decline
          in  the cost of beef,  cheese, avocados and  tomatoes from a year
          ago.  This decrease was partly  offset by an increase in  lettuce
          costs.

          Restaurant labor  was stable during the  quarter and year-to-date
          at 33.1 percent and 33.5 percent of sales, respectively. 

          Operating expenses for the quarter and year-to-date increased  as
          a  percentage  of sales  due to  an  increase in  advertising and
          supply costs partially offset by lower laundry costs.

          General and administrative  costs for the quarter  increased as a
          result of an  increase in  field supervision  costs and  training
          wages offset by lower incentive compensation.  Cost for the year-
          to-date increased due  to higher employee  costs, training  wages
          and professional fees offset by lower incentive compensation.

          Interest expense increased for the quarter and  year-to-date as a
          result of  an increase  in  average outstanding  debt and  higher
          interest rates.  Interest income for the quarter decreased due to
          a decline in average invested cash balances.  Interest income for
          the  year-to-date  increased  due  to  interest  income  received
          related to amended tax returns.

          At  June 30, 1995 there  were 68 Company-operated restaurants and
          29 franchised restaurants.
