    I came here a few times and they don't disappoint. This last time I picked up a soup for my friend who was not feeling good. The hostess was very friendly and accommodating, the soup was delicious and the decoration of the place was nice, still displaying a warm Christmas feeling. Will definitely come back as this is in my backyard.

    Not too shabby of a restaurant. Great and attentive service. The environment is very typical of Mexican restaurants in the South Texas area. Tables and booths are available. There is art on the war showing ranchers scenes and scenes of agave cultivation. They have a bar that serves a variety of drinks. Other folks at are table drank wine. I ordered a Bloody Mary. My drink was fine, but lacked character... I mean to say it wasn't anything special. I ordered pork chop a lamezicana. You got to medium sized pork chops covered in grilled onionss, jalapenos, and tomatoes. The plate also came with Mexican rice and refried beans on the side. I chose flour tortillas, since I don't get a lot of those in El Paso. Our orders came out pretty fast, even when our server overlooked or misheard our order for my daughter's brunch plate. It was a great place to come together after our friend's first communion. Great place to gather eat and fill up on good food. Not too shabby. I would love to try their parilladas.

    Alcohol was NOT included in the making of this margarita. I'm on blood thinners. I ordered TWO. NOT even a little tipsy.

    This is the WORST dining experience we have had in a long time. I knew it was questionable when we entered and there were only 5 tables in use, including our own, on a SATURDAY NIGHT! I am on blood thinners. I am allowed ONE alcoholic beverage WITH a meal. I LOOK FORWARD to this. I do NOT drink alcohol otherwise. Not at home. NOT EVER. ONLY when we go out to eat. I really look forward to a cocktail when we dine out. This restaurant included no or VERY LITTLE alcohol in their "margarita" and I KNOW THIS because I have NO TOLERANCE for alcohol. As well, I am on blood thinners, and alcohol hits me very quickly. I walked out of there without so much as a little buzz. NOTHING. I could have been drinking water. I can get drunk on 4 oz. of wine. NO tolerance. NONE. I ordered TWO margaritas on this night and from this restaurant, just to check my theory. NO buzz. NOT even a little. This is a restaurant's method of saving themselves money. Cut the alcohol and fill it with lime juice. Who gets burned? The patrons who are PAYING for these drinks. NOT OK. They can deny cutting out the alcohol with ANY OTHER CUSTOMER. Not with someone who is on blood thinners, though. I KNOW how alcohol affects me. I KNOW my tolerance. I ordered TWO cocktails, I didn't eat my meal, and I stood up and walked out as though I had been drinking WATER. They couldn't ADD A LIME just to "pretend"? Good grief! Back to the part about my not eating my meal. I was drinking on an empty stomach. The reason I didn't eat my meal is because our daughter ordered a shrimp cocktail. It came with only 6 TINY shrimp. SIX. She fished them out and counted them. She was still hungry. I ordered a burger and fries as it seemed safest. I gave her my meal. My husband ordered Menudo and the Chimichanga. As I hadn't eaten my own meal, I asked for a bite of his Chimichanga. It's a Mexican restaurant. The Chimichanga is ALWAYS good, everywhere we have been. I asked for a bite. I IMMEDIATELY KNEW it was a mistake. I reached for a new napkin, spit the mess out, and my husband said, "We need to leave. This is awful." He did not finish his meal. It tasted like what wet cat food smells like. I'm not exaggerating. I do not recommend this establishment. I am EXTREMELY perturbed that they would skimp out on the alcohol in their cocktails. They can deny it, but again, NOT with someone on blood thinners, who has NO tolerance for alcohol anyway, and who DOES NOT DRINK except for the once a month [if that] dining out experience. How DARE you charge what you do for a cocktail and not include the alcohol? People need to know this. Now, they will. The food is terrible. We are NOT returning. I included an image of the "mocktail". NO alcohol was included in the making of that cocktail. Trust me. I ordered TWO for the sake of my OWN EXPERIMENT, and so I could write this HONEST review. I didn't eat my meal and hadn't had anything to eat since 10:30 in the morning. We were there at 6:30 pm. I am a woman of 118 lbs, 5'4", on blood thinners, no tolerance for alcohol anyway as I don't drink otherwise, and I had ordered and consumed 2 of your "margaritas" just to prove my point. I walked out of there as though I had been drinking WATER. The issues listed above are likely why Chile's restaurant parking lot (which is adjacent to your own) was full, they had a long wait time for a table, and your own restaurant had only 5 tables in use, including our own.

    Chicken and Beef fajitas for two

    I honestly don't know what these people who have left previous reviews are talking about. Everything was good--food, atmosphere, service, wait time. Combo fajitas for two were $48. Good amount with leftovers to take home. Really comfy booths, honestly no complaints. Will definitely be back!!!

    We ate lunch today at Jaliscos. Queso, nachos, ceviche, and kids meals. Everything had a good flavor. The quality and portion sizes are very small, for the price. The skinny margarita was very good. Our server was very nice and attentive.

    Al Pastor Taco
    Megan M.

    Great chips and salsa. Queso compuesto is much better than the plain queso. Al pastor tacos are delicious. Good rice and beans! We enjoy coming for lunch. Much less of a crowd, always quick and friendly service. Kids menu is good too & our servers always bring the kids food out the second it's done!

    Large tortilla soup

    Pretty good Tex Mex. Service was friendly. The food was tasty and had good textures. Good portions sizes. Will stop by again when I'm the area. Lots of seating.

    It was good! But why are the lunch specials 17.00! That's not a good deal. Then they charge you 3.50 for shedded cheese

My…read morehusband and I along with our daughter, son-in-law, and grandson planned to have dinner with hubby's sister & brother & respective families. It was a good spot for a reunion. The downside was that it was extremely noisy. We ordered & our food came out pretty quickly. I don't know about anybody else but I had the best fried catfish ever! The cornmeal batter was crunchy & flavorful but that fish was light, flaky & delicious! I have been craving catfish and this exceeded my expectations! I had a side of corn that was very good. The portions were generous & I ended up taking leftovers home. Yay me! Kudos to our server for working so hard for us as we were a big group of 11 people. This young lady was efficient and attentive. We found it difficult eating because we were catching up after not seeing each other in a while. This is a friendly, rustic, casual vibe & a place you'd expect in Texas. Would love to return here before flying back to CA

A manager made eye contact and turned away. After a few minutes, I approached the bar for drinks to be told they couldn't serve me from the bar. I had to wait for a nonexistent server. A few minutes pass and a young fellow hands us a menu and walks off. We'd planned on eating too. It's 20 minutes now. Finally someone brings water. We decide to order drinks only. We are skipping dinner here now. It's been 10 more minutes and no drinks. Buda has too many nice options. Save yourself a headache and choose a place that cares about hospitality. This place doesn't care.

Meridian is in downtown Buda and is connected to Zoi Wellness. We were able to park in the parking lot across the street. Upon walking in, the space had a rustic loft feel with lots of greenery. The furniture made it feel very cozy. I honestly didn't expect to find a coffee shop like this in Buda. The barista was very nice and gave recommendations. My mom and I both ordered Iced Pecan Pie Lattes which was a seasonal drink that they were featuring. We ordered our drinks to go, but then decided to sit in the cafe and enjoy our beverages. The coffee is legit! We both liked our beverages. I really enjoyed the pecan flavor and the sweetness level was perfect. The barista informed us that they make all of their syrups in house. I noticed that there were plenty of outlets for work or study. There's quite a bit of seating including couches. They have QR codes at each table that you can order from which is so convenient. In addition to coffee (which is served until 5 pm), they also have wellness drinks, wine, beer and cocktails. They have a nice sized stage for live music. I would love to go back in the evening for a cocktail and live music! I'm so happy to have discovered this gem in Buda!
