    Taco, enchilada and tamale  Texas-Mex Mixto Plate
    Kristen B.

    Just passable today. Not going to hurry back. Much different atmosphere and significantly reduced lunch crowd than prior visits. Ordered queso appetizer and 2 different lunch specials. Queso was flavorless and had to ask for different basket of chips since most were small broken pieces or saturated with oil. Ick! Green enchiladas were supposed to be filled with chicken and cheese. Chicken used to be shredded and moist. These were tiny cubes and no cheese inside. Looked highly processed. Rice was flavorless. No refried beans. Highlight was spicy green sauce. Other entree had beef tamale, enchilada and taco with rice and beans. Taco would have been great if the shell wasn't stale. Tamale was very dried out inside and enchilada was just ok. Service was adequate.

    My friend and I sat at the bar and were severed by Sarah, she was phenomenal! It was a busy night and she was the only bar tender for the whole restaurant. She was very attentive, made great drinks and was laughing with us. We had a verbal altercation with two men sitting next to us, she helped put an end to it and made us feel safe.

    So whenever I'm in town, we like to go to this place because they have the best fajitas in town. I haven't been for a couple years and last week we went when we were visiting my sister-in-law in town. First of all, they don't take reservations and so you have to be ready to wait at least 45 minutes to hour for a Friday night. So just be ready to wait. It's not a big deal. You can go to the bar and order a drink in my case I ordered water cause it was so hot outside cause we had to wait outside, and it was fine. There was four of us eating dinner and we paid a lot of money for dinner. I think it's way overpriced for what you get. I think we paid over $185 We didn't even order alcohol. I went with the fajita salad and it was just OK. The chicken was cold and it wasn't sizzling fajitas from what I expected to be on top of the salad. So that was a three out of five for me. I understand the food prices have gone up everywhere, but this just seemed too ridiculous for what you got. For the fajitas , I think the lowest price is $40 and goes to $65/$75 which I think is crazy cause I can go to a nice steakhouse and get a nice steak for that much and they are good, but I don't think they're worth that much good. And the chips are not great. They have no flavor and they were just not good at all. So I would say overall, we liked our food, but it wasn't anything wow and it definitely was not worth the price. I don't mind spending a lot of money on food if the quantity in the quality is good, but yeah, I would pass on this next time. I'm in town, unfortunately.

    Queso, top shelf margaritas

    This place is hard not to love, the food is amazing and honestly the beef fajitas are the best in the area. I really wish they offered a more authentic salsa but the bean dip is so good. The queso recipe seems to have changed but it's mostly solid. The only place lacking is the service and it's been like this since covid. The menus is far too large to realistically run an efficient kitchen. The bar is always the best seat in the house and I highly recommend ordering your top shelf margaritas only from the tall hip gentleman!

I did ask to try aleida's sauce, which many people liked on yelp, but we liked their green sauce the most! Overall, very cute and colorful restaurant; loved all the decor. The outdoor patio, where we sat, was covered and nice, until it started pouring hard outside. Not a super authentic latin restaurant. No complimentary chips and salsa. My taco wasn't worth more than $5, tbh, and we paid close to $9..given it was shrimp, but we've had much better shrimp tacos elsewhere for less. I wish I had a photo of my poor taco, but I totally forgot to take a picture :/

The rice is white with peas and carrots, like they do in the interior. The pepper is more likely to be chipotle. There are some excellent fish (usually black drum) and shrimp dishes. I had a superb camerones dish over rice with chipotle sauce and a lovely slaw on top you wouldn't think would work but it does. And IMO the portion sizes are perfect, not demanding the carry out box every single time. The bar is also good, and if you're going to treat yourself, yes, they'll use Clase Azul tequila and do it well. The interior has been redone a bit, mostly in the tables, since we were last there, and it's an improvement. They still have the garage-style roll-up doors for opening up to the patio in good weather. (Not today, thanks, too hot out.)

The mole enchiladas had good flavor, but they could have benefited from a little more mole sauce and a thinner tortilla to better complement the dish. I also ordered the Tacos Del Mar with beef, and unfortunately they seemed a bit light on the meat. On a positive note, the service was excellent. Our waitress was very attentive throughout the meal, frequently checking on us and making sure we had everything we needed. Our drinks were always refilled before we had a chance to ask, and our glasses never sat empty. The outstanding service definitely made the dining experience more enjoyable.

I should've reacted to my first impulse when I walked in. Leave! Now! The booming, loud and annoying music was almost unbearable. I stayed and ordered the #3 lunch combination. The chips were good, but I much prefer a thinner white corn chip. The red salsa was very good; the creamy stuff was bland. The rice and beans were above average. The guacamole was a mess. It was bland, and the whole tostada--with guacamole, lettuce and chopped tomatoes--was slathered in something sweet and weird. I just pushed it aside. Excellent crispy taco shell, but the carne molida was dry, overcooked and disappointing. The cheese enchilada was awful. Wrong cheese. I prefer (correct) American, not cheddar. But it was good quality cheddar and not that stringy, bubble gum consistency stuff I run into occasionally. There was only a trace of what I assumed was supposed to be the chili con carne gravy (per the menu) so I requested more gravy which was thin, bland and somewhat tomato tasting, not chili con carne sauce. I ate the rice, beans, taco and a couple bites of enchilada--and left hungry. The service was outstanding.
