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.
