Usually 20%. There's a Mexican place in town that I've been going to for 20 years or so where I tip 30%. That's mostly because when they see me coming they usually have a bucket of Coronas on tthe able waiting for me before I sit down.
When I was married the first time, we used to hang out with another couple, and I noticed that the husband was just about the cheapest motherfucker that ever lived. When it was their turn to pick up the check, he would never tip so I would usually end up making sure I was the last person at the table so I could drop a tip. That ended when one New Year's Eve he turned back to the table make sure he hadn't left something behind, and I saw him pick up and pocket the tip I had just left.
I don't hang out with them much anymore . . .
