El Jalisciense Mexican Restaurant

This is the most disappointing, overpriced place I've ever purchased breakfast…read more The bacon was burned beyond ability to chew. The waffle was so dry. Did not have whipped cream as pictured in the menu, had two blueberries, and barely visible sliver of strawberry. The two poached eggs, half waffle and two strips of bacon for $15 was so disappointingly sad and gross. The Montecristo breakfast sandwich was burned, with one piece of ham, one piece of turkey and no visible cheese for $12.50. The meat has a terrible aftertaste. Poor quality ingredients. The half a cup of dry potatoes for four dollars was lacking, at best. If I could give this place negative stars I would. I shouldn't be angry when I open $35 worth of food

Visually impressive and even better once you dig in, it comes topped with a crispy, buttery croissant crust that spills over the bowl it's baked in. Inside fresh cubed chicken, carrots, and celery in one of the creamiest fillings. For dessert, the bread pudding made me pause mid-bite and demand my dining mate to try it immediately.That mofo slaps...hard. Everything coming out of the kitchen felt sincere and carefully prepared this was one of the best dining experiences ive had all year. Hands down. This place is a hidden gem. If it were located in the Loop, you'd be waiting weeks, months for a reservation and they'd probably already have a James Beard or Michelin award.

Bathroom has one stall and it's kept clean. Food: the person I went with had the salmon Benedict and he loved it paired with the current bread because it nicely absorbed the eggy sauce. He thought it was genius. I had a feta omelette that at first I thought was light on the cheese but it was actually stuffed with feta and spinach. I replaced my bread for a biscuit and it was tasty. Service: everyone was nice and accommodating. They all work very hard and come around regularly to check on you and top off your coffee.

When I saw the name Shuko 502 in Deer Park, I thought no way, Guatemalan food out here. But to my…read moresurprise, it's more of a Central American fusion spot, with nods to several countries. Still, the name Shuko had me curious, it's one of Guatemala's most iconic street foods, so I had to try it. For those who don't know, a traditional Guatemalan shuko is street food done right: grilled bun, steamed hot dog, Guatemalan-style guacamole (no onions or tomatoes), sauerkraut, mustard, ketchup, and mayo. Their take here is a bit different no guac on mine, but still packed with flavor. A mix of grilled meats, sauerkraut, and condiments all stuffed into a roll. Definitely not traditional, but still tasty. I also tried one of their pupusas, and it hit the spot. A classic revuelta melted cheese and chicharrón oozing out of a perfectly griddled corn masa pocket. Comfort food, plain and simple. Only downside The fries. They were undercooked, a little limp. Just needed a bit more time in the fryer. But overall, if you're into street food with a Central American twist, Shuko 502 is worth the stop.

Guatemalan sausage. In Spanish it's called Longanizas

And I am always looking for places where you feel like you've taken a time machine back to the 60's. Is it possible? I'm tempted to call this one of the greatest Tex Mex combo plates in Texas. But there are too many restaurants vying for that title. So, if I call it the 2nd greatest combo plate in Texas, I'm probably safe. But seriously, (on the day that I went, that is), it was vintage, it was classic, it was perfect. Big scoop of delicious guacamole. Perfectly realized Mexican rice (with just the right hint of cumin). Excellent frijoles refritos (made with manteca). A mild and perfectly seasoned chili gravy covering cheesy enchiladas.And, as you'll see from the photos, they make their own leche quemada, and it is chock full of pecans. Highly recommended. It's worth the road trip. You can have fun visiting all of the antique shops on Main Street and then having your terrific Tex Mex lunch.
