    Our office ordered catering from here one Tuesday for lunch. We ordered a large spread for a taco bar. Everything from lettuce, beans, multiple kinds of meat - chicken, steak, and beef, to all the toppings you can think of were ordered. When the food arrived, I couldn't find any flour tortillas, so I decided to go the salad bowl route. I topped a bed of lettuce with chicken, some steak, beans, pico de Gallo, and some white rice with tortilla chips on the side. I appreciated that the bed of lettuce wasn't solely lettuce, but had cabbage slivers and carrots mixed in too. Unfortunately, the meat - chicken and steak - were a little dry and could've had a lot more seasoning on it. Also, the chips were hard and had no flavor, seasoning at all. Tasted like crispy cardboard, so I didn't finish those. Overall, a pretty bland meal.

    Much better burrito five years later. Got the lunch special Baja burrito for $10. It has chicken, guacamole mostly. But very good. Nice manager and free chips.

    I've been coming here regularly for the last year since I manage across the street. Everytime I'm here the food is great, the workers are like family and my food always comes timely. They have a very pretty patio that is perfect for relaxing on my lunch breaks. I would highly recommend this location and Tiara is exceptional! All the ladies I've met at the cash register here are great.

    Large corn ?!?!?

    We ordered food for delivery, and when the corn came, it was only half full, and we ordered a large too.Not only that, but they only put cheese and mayo on a quarter of the dish.Such a waste of money.You want to get paid more for your job but you don't care to do the job correctly. I've been to plenty of rubies and know how much they typically put. Look at the photo, it's just sad.

    A good choice for Baja style tacos burritos and bowls. Rubio's uses fresh ingredients and a great little salsa bar. Join their rewards club for freebies and discounts, and they have $1.99 tacos on Tuesday's. I like Coastal Trio and the Shrimp Trio. My wife likes the bowls. The service is quick and friendly. The food is tasty and good for dine-in or takeout.

    Soda area.
    Madi M.

    Food plating area is very dirty. All tables were dirty and I had to clean my own. The soda area looks like it is growing something. The food was slightly overcooked and not as good of quality at other locations.

    Fish tacos!

Corn Bread - Really enjoyed this. It had a nice balance of sweet and savory and was moist without being too heavy. Fries - Crispy, well seasoned, and easy to keep reaching for. Swordfish Tacos - I would skip these. The fish didn't taste as fresh as I expected and had a noticeable fishy smell that took away from the dish. Overall, the food was good, but with such a large menu I would probably try different items on a return visit. My favorite part was actually the warm cookie they give you when you leave. It was a really nice touch to end the meal.

Beginners Luck is just that kind of place. Food 4.5/5 - I ordered the Crab and Shrimp Roll with fries. It was excellent and quite a portion. More than enough for a second meal. Loaded with shrimp and crab. I wasn't expecting a crab and shrimp salad but rather a mix of the two warm and buttered in the roll but it was very tasty as served. The only part that was a little off was the burned in brand on the roll the cold salad was served in. The charred flavor with the salad was a little off putting. I just pinched off the burnt bits from the bread. Excellent fries! Service 4/5 - I sat at the bar. Bartender was nice, offered regular menu and restaurant week menu as well. Meal was brought by manager, fries were still piping hot. Bartender and manager checked back to make sure meal was to my liking. Ambiance 5/5 - Cute place. A lot of nice outdoor seating and seating inside but a bit less. All in all a great place with a nice complement of offerings! I will return. If only they had a fly through with rotisserie chicken to go, I would never think of Bandera again.

My guess is that your spec is al dente which is more crunchy than fork tender. If that is truly how it is to be presented, I will bypass the roasted veggies in the future. Like I said it was my very first time doing a Yelp review and ever ordering from the original Chop Shop. Also FYI my name is Amalia, not Amelia. Thanks for the response. I ordered thru door dash the spicy Korean bowl with roasted veggies and sweet potatoes. 2/3 of the bowl was obnoxious pieces of broccoli that were basically raw. I pulled out 99% of the broccoli and I was left with very little to enjoy. The beef was very tender and flavorful and the sauce was amazing with the sweet potatoes. Just disappointing about the roasted veggies because I believe there was some kale in there and some matchstick carrots but the ratio was uneven and the broccoli was inedible. Just passing it along as someone who's worked in the food service industry for over 40 years. . I have never liked Yelp because people abuse it. I'm just leaving constructive criticism.

I really love the aesthetic of this place. First of all it's tucked on the back corner of a strip mall. You wouldn't know it was care without looking, even though there is a small patio that wraps around. The dining room is kind of a great mixture that stuff it's very industrial working with lots of concrete with open duct work, but it also has a lovely tufted Bank at and crystal chandeliers. The perfect balance and I love it. You can see into the kitchen which I also like. Our server was delightful, and I loved the attentiveness, like making sure to move the curtains when the light was hitting in an odd way. I started with a delicious drink that I think was called Mezcal Orange Fizz. It was yummy! For the first course I chose the Salmon Crudo. It had a citrus dressing and crispy rice chip. It was absolutely delicious, but very tiny. I could have licked the plate because the dressing was so yummy. My friend had the gazpacho, which she said was very good With main course I chose the Garlic-Lemon Scallops and Corn. It was four delicious scallops on polenta garnished with popcorn. What a cool surprise! It was really good! My friend had the short ribs which she seemed to like as well. For dessert, we both chose the key lime tart. It was a little bit of heaven on a plate! I really enjoyed it. The portion sizes were appropriate - - what we probably should be eating rather than the huge portions we normally get. I was able to finish everything, and I left full but not stuffed. I did remove a star because I did not like that they charged a gratuity on a check for just one person. I normally tip a minimum of 25%, but they added 18%. I just left it. I understand the need to include the gratuity with a larger party (somehow the server always seems to get the short end on those larger parties). I don't know if that's a normal thing, or a restaurant week thing because, to be honest, hubby always pays the bill. I do recommend this hidden gem of a place. It has a lot going for it and I've always enjoyed my visits here.
