    Chicken Tortilla Soup
    Tee J.

    Delivered. I got the goose eggs, and the pick 2 with a crispy chicken taco, pork tamale, and tortilla soup. The goose eggs were delish. I heated them up in the air fryer because why not. I mean you know...delivery. I did have to eat the filling out of them only after eating one. Why, you ask? Because they were hot. The chicken taco and tamale were good, also. One thing about the tortilla soup. Lots of big onions, lots of big onions. With that being said, I tossed those aside and threw down on that soup. Everything was good. Oh, chips and salsa included.

    We came after Performance at Grapevine Mills. Wasn't busy at all and we had a party of 10 they got us seated right away. Served Chips and Salsa to get started our server was very sweet and did a fantastic job navigate the group. We had guacamole as and appetizer which was served in a taco shell with limes fresh with some zest very good. I had the Tacos Dorados and Diana had the Mesquite grilled shrimp for drinks I had the Old Fashion and Diana the Paloma. Food was served hot with Rice and Charro beans. And we all were served at the same time so no one was waiting while the others ate.Its Tex-Mex done well.

    Yummy you should totally get this

    overall, it was a really good place to eat. the food was awesome, though I don't recommend the nachos.. they were really good but cant really be considered nachos because it was just four tortilla chips with meat and cheese on it. the staff was the best part about the whole restaurant and it's a fun experience with the staff. between their dancing waiter and waiters teasing each other it was a great environment to eat. I think the dancing waiters name was Cameron, if I'm right make sure you tell him he has awesome moves, if not he just looks like a Cameron. Thanks Cameron for the laugh

    My call sign in the Corps was Goose, so anyplace with a goose as a mascot, icon, or wording its he name I almost feel obligated to try out. I am glad I stopped in here. The chips were nice, not overly thick and not overly thin, well salted, warm, and the salsa was good. It had a good taste, could be a little hotter for my tongue, but I can't complain since I know they make this stuff for the masses. The Taco Plate for lunch was nice. I had one beef and one chicken, both were very good. Shells were crispy, the flavoring was decent, not overly done. The ground beef wasn't overly greasy, tho it didn't have a lot of seasoning either. It was still good tho. I sat at the bar today, the bartender was very nice and helpful. He stayed on top of my insatiable need for chips and salsa. It was really good and the staff was just as nice. Don't let the age of the place fool you. It's a great place, I will return.

    Big Bad Botanas Platter
    Briana N.

    This was my first time at Blue Goose Cantina and I'm a big big fan! We were seated so quickly despite the restaurant seeming pretty busy and the servers were all so friendly. Free chips and salsa can be a hit or miss but these were definitely a hit. The chips weren't too thick or salty. And the salsa was delicious. We ended up ordering the big bad botanas platter (under appetizers) for the two of us because we wanted to try a variety of things. And it was the perfect choice. It comes with two of everything (but 4 of the goose eggs) so we both got to try everything evenly. And we were easily full, and with leftovers to spare. I just wish they gave some more of the queso. But they did give us enough guac and salsa. Also the goose eggs were so good! Coming back, I would definitely just get an order of the goose eggs themselves.

    Genuinely had an amazing experience i think Jack was our server and he was amazing! Took such good care of us and gave us great service even with our complicated order. All the food came out correct and tasting great. We got Queso, beef nachos, the enchiladas sampler i think it was called and dessert as well. Thank you for a wonderful dinner!

    That's pink!!

    Prices are good, but portion size and quality are not so much. Food came out cold, very bland taste and undercooked! Didn't eat..

    Pick 2: cheese enchiladas and guacamole tostadas

We started with the Ceviche de Pescado because my friend has raved about it in the past. It was delicious and not fishy at all. We also had the Quesadilla with Grilled Chicken. It was had toasted cheese on the outside. It was tasty as well. I also loved the Pozole Verde. It has the flavors of authentic Mexican cuisine. For our main dishes, we had The Grilled Baja Fresh Tacos and Guiso Mexicano. Both were excellent. The ambiance is very casual with a beach vibe to it. There is also plenty of parking. We will definitely be back.

Yet, for the longest time, Baja Mex Grill did just that by serving the strongest margaritas in town. In fact, I had always heard that there was a limit of 2 per person. Although it may have only been a rumor, it was a good policy nonetheless (I speak from experience!) Even if margaritas weren't your thing, the food still held it's own. Basically, you couldn't go wrong with a visit here no matter your preferences. I don't know exactly when or how many times the ownership changed over the years, but apart from the name, nothing about this place is the same today. It was immediately evident upon being served chips and queso that both seemed like they came straight from a package. The extra hot salsa we requested turned out to be a creamy, green concoction that had a jalapeno-y flavor, but somehow still wasn't spicy. I will give them credit, however, for a very tasty regular salsa that appeared to be made in house. For my entree I ordered the Picante Enchiladas. Contrary to what the name implies there was no detectable heat. Furthermore, the grilled chicken on top had the distinct flavor of a frozen version made by Kroger. Once again, that prepackaged element reared it's ugly head. My husband and sons were mostly underwhelmed by their meals as well. The phrase "I've had better" was echoed around the table. And, they aren't normally a picky bunch! Our server brought everything out quickly, checked on us often, and kept our drinks topped up throughout our meal. So kudos to him! I have said this before, but it bears repeating. The Tex Mex arena is far too competitive for mediocre food like they serve here. It's a shame that a place I once considered to be 4-5 star establishment barely earns 3 stars now.

The service was okay but not as good as usual. After we said two of us were pleased with the temp of the soup, they didn't offer anything more. In the past if we ever had any issue, the manager has come over to talk with us. We weren't looking for any refund, just wanted them to know the food wasn't as good as we are used to. Additionally, refills were slow, and the fajitas came out in multiple steps, first the meat, then a little while later, the accompaniments and then a few minutes later, the tortillas. Just not a great dinner experience this time overall.

I had not been to this particular Uncle Julio's before, in fact, it is set off the road enough that if you blink you might miss it. Walking in you immediately notice that the ambiance pays tribute to their other stores in that there is a nice blend of traditional Mexican decor blended with modern decor. I ordered Fajitas. I am going to say they were respectable. Not the best I have had, but way better than a lot I have had. Would I get them again? Probably, but there are a lot of other things I would try on the menu before getting them again. Being my coworker's birthday, we ordered a Chocolate Piñata for dessert. It was a fun experience to have people at the table take a swing at it, until out came Churros, and Fresh Fruit. There was an array of sauces to dip the Fruit and Churros in. Our Service was a bit slow at times, and for that I am taking a star off the rating. We all sat on the patio, which may have contributed to our feeling forgotten a few times

Mesa's is just a few minutes drive from Gaylord so it is super convenient. The ambience is pleasant and open and in general it was fine. The restaurant was clean with plenty of seats and parking outside. I did not get a "homey" feel but that may be just me. Our server was attentive and efficient. No problems or complaints. The free chips and salsa were good but not outstanding. The salsa was warm and obviously homemade, but it lacked kick. It was tasty but not "OMG this is good." I started with a cup of Roberto's queso which is the standard queso cheese with some ground beef, pico, and a tablespoon of guacamole. It too was good but not outstanding. I am not sure what it was missing but there was something that was needed. I had the two beef tacos and they were just average. Not much flavor or anything distinctive. The ground beef was not well seasoned so they were kind of bland. The rice and black beans were also kind of bland. Frankly, my tacos at home are better. The wife had the taco salad and liked it, although it did not come with any dressing. She used the salsa. Not sure if that was an oversight or that is the way the salad is served. She was also happy that they serve Negro Modelo on tap, so she was happy. The kid had nachos with black beans and cheese and did not complain. Overall, the meal was fine, nothing was terrible, but nothing really stood out as a compelling reason to return.

Such was the case recently when we paid a visit to Mesa. The first order of business was getting an appetizer to go with the chips and salsa. Upon the server's recommendation we got the queso Blanco. It was quite possibly the blandest queso I have ever eaten. At this point I started to worry that it was a sign of things to come. However, the extra spicy salsa that we also requested to go with the chips was more flavorful and gave me hope for the entrees. The good news is that my chicken and cheese enchiladas turned out to be better than the insipid appetizer. The not so good news is that it was still a mediocre meal. The rest of my family had mixed feelings about their food. My husband, who got 2 beef enchiladas, said his were overly salty but otherwise average. The bacon wrapped shrimp that my mother got were a little overcooked but she liked the sides. Both of my sons' entrees, the Mesa burrito and the chicken strips, were very well received. People like to say that even when pizza is bad it's still good. For me, that also applies to Tex-Mex. But, considering the plethora options out there, I doubt I will be returning anytime soon.
