I went to eat at Guadalajara and had a disappointing experience. I ordered the Brenham Burrito,…read morewhich comes stuffed with your choice of meat, rice, and beans. It was also supposed to be served with Rice & Beans. The waiter didn't bring them out with my burrito, and so I thought maybe I misread. I was tired and hungry, it happens right? To their credit, the burrito tasted great! But when checking out, I grabbed a nearby menu just to double check AND it says it right there! Under the section Dinners Mexicanas " Served with Rice & Beans!" But the cashier explains that the Brenham Burrito comes with the side of Rice & Beans INSIDE of the burrito, and not on the side. He also explained this was a COMMON misunderstanding, and that in the future I had the option to buy an additional side of Rice & Beans, or even to ask the staff to put them on the side instead of in the burrito! Now it doesn't explain any of this anywhere on the menu, and no staff warned me about this when I ordered it. If they just forgot to bring them out with my food, okay, life happens. But to pretend that a customer expecting a side of rice & beans on a dish "Served with Rice & Beans" is some weird misunderstanding people keep having for some reason, like you're the first restaurant in the state of Texas to use the phrase "Served with rice & beans" but you're still not taking any steps to fix it? So I'm just putting it out there that if you go to Guadalajara, make sure ahead of time that they intend to actually serve you what they put on the menu. It's disappointing because I've really enjoyed going there in the past. But SMH, there's too many Mexican Restaurants in Brenham to go somewhere where they don't give you what you paid for, and then suggest you pay them more money to get it.

Finally decide to head over to this restaurant after being in Brenham for a bit now. Finally, a…read moreplace that reminds me of my former city San Antonio...a taqueria. Those who may not know, a taqueria is not just simply a Mexican restaurant but often combined a frutería with its aqua frescas, paletas, fruit, milk shakes limonados and so forth with usually a food stand having tacos, tortas, caldos and so forth. This is definitely something I missed. As always beginning with the service. Friendly and helpful as usual. The food was great and yes does remind me of similar restaurants in San Antonio. It is always a good sign when you are the only gringo in one of these places. I did try a paleta de coco and it was ok...too sweet for my taste. Next time I need to try the mango though it is going to be difficult to bet El Paraiso from San Antonio. Overall a great place and I will return to get a taste that is not available anywhere around here. Now on to find decent traditional Tex-Mex food around here, something of a challenge apparently.

You would've thought we were the only people in the building. It was a little slow for Saturday. We go to guacamole he tucked us into chunky guacamole which I wish I would have said no to I like mine smoother better. The margaritas were on point. He made them fresh for us. I like the besides your typical dip they bring out like a black bean purée dip as well. we got the molcajete. There is a little different than I've ever had. It wasn't the typical warm spicy green sauce. It was a red, more oily like sauce. It was good but not what I expected. On the menu it also said that they had cheese with it, which is typically like a bread cheese and all the other restaurants I've ever had this at do, but they did not have any at this one even though it was on the menu. They did give you plenty of quail in it. The beans that came with it were awesome and they give you a whole bowl not a tiny cup. So we were full when But I didn't care for the sausage either or the cuts of meat so all in all I probably wouldn't order the molcajete from here again but their chips and salsa are good. They're guacamole was great and you can't beat the service. Plus they have free ice cream when you're done and they flavor it vanilla and strawberry, which was awesome.

The main course was delicious, but also disappointing because it what we received was very different from what was on the menu. The menu said green sauce, the sauce was no where near green, it was a red sauce. Still good, but not what we expected. Also there was barely any sauce, we had to ask for some more on the side. The menu also said the dish came with white cheese, but there was no cheese and when we asked the server, we were told no cheese came with the dish. It was definitely confusing, but all in all we had a great time. The charro beans & rice and guac that came with it were had great flavor. Flour tortillas were delicious & fresh. Service was great and the free soft serve ice-cream is a nice touch. Will definitely try again.

The first place I went to just gave me a bad vibe so I jumped back on Yelp and found El Charro T...so glad I did. They were packed inside and on the huge deck outside but I found a seat inside and was quickly brought fresh made chips and maybe the best salsa I've ever tasted...I went through two bowls. The owner (I think) came by to check on me twice. Everyone was very nice and the service was on point. I had the Chili Relleno and it was served in some of that wonderful salsa and covered in cheese. It was really big and extremely good as were the beans, rice and guacamole...all obviously made from scratch and very fresh. I can't wait to go back.

Let's talk about the salsa for a second... this is where the rubber hits the road at any Mexican restaurant. And this salsa has off road tires driving straight to flavortown. Served warm, fresh chop onion & cilantro sprinkled on top. So good Everything I tried was excellent. If you're headed through Brenham, at least stop in & try the salsa & fajita nachos! You won't be sorry you did. And this is a one location place, mom & pop. The best \( °o° )/
