So I told her just cancel the whole order, I'll go somewhere else. We went up the street to Barcena's and got everything that we were planning to get from Luna's without being charged extra for the salsa and jalapeños. Let's be real, would it REALLY break Luna's to throw in a small side of salsa and jalapeños versus lose out on the whole order and a repeat customer. I guess so ‍

I recall sampling some takeout from Boss Tacos earlier this year and was floored. Today was my first time actually visiting the fairly new eatery. I'm happy to report it was worth braving a small part of Tropical Depression Edouard's outer bands just to have a late lunch here. The fairly clean and spacious interior put me at ease. My mom and I were greeted by two friendly employees. After we took our seats close to the entrance, we were served the standard complimentary chips and salsa. I had a good feeling about the main items here because not only did the chips lean on the addictive side, but the salsa packed a spicy punch! What caught my eye on the menu was the Quesa Set while my mom chose The Lone-Star Steak taco. I've developed an interest in birria in the past few years, and it piqued here. The Quesa Set consists of three quesabirria tacos accompanied by consommé, cilantro and onions. I was really impressed with how the tacos' beef and cheese meshed together for an ooey gooey fiesta of flavor, which was raised a few notches with a few dips in the consommé and occasional garnishing of the cilantro and onions. Spanish rice, which is available, pairs well with the dish. Just as I worked my way through this review, I realized that I was supposed to eat [or drink] the consommé. *Laughs, facepalms* My mom liked The Lone-Star Steak. It was a bit big, almost the size of your average burrito. I told one of the workers on the way out that it's more than likely I'll be back.

I recently had my first visit to Red River Cantina, in League City, Texas. I was primarily looking…read morethrough yelp for a restaurant that served Tex-Mex, and this was the first restaurant that popped up in my area with a "very good" rating. As I write this review, this restaurant currently has a rating of 4.0 stars with 380 reviews. Before coming, I also reviewed several pictures that other folks have posted on yelp, and I thought I'd give this place a try. The outside of this restaurant is well lit and inviting. Parking is plentiful, and they have several handicapped parking spots for folks who need that. Upon entry, I was immediately seated in one of their booths by their hostess. The busboy came out a few minutes later, bringing some fresh chips and two kinds of salsa. The busboy didn't seem too friendly; he didn't say a word or even crack a smile. My waitress came out a couple of minutes later, and her name was Eliza C. She was friendly and professional, and she was attentive to my dinnertime needs throughout my experience. The chips and salsa they serve here are amazingly good. While I decided what I wanted to eat for dinner, I couldn't stop eating them! I ordered one of their "Maximina's Build Your Own Cominados," choosing an order with two items. For my two items, I ordered an enchilada with beef picadillo, and I ordered a crispy taco with beef picadillo. I ordered my meal with a side of their Mexican rice and refried beans. I also ordered a Dr. Pepper with my meal. My meal was delicious. The refried beans were excellent, and they had a smoky/bbq taste to them. The Mexican rice was delicious as well. They did an excellent job on my enchilada and taco, and they provided a generous filling with beef on both. They were delicious as well. The Dr. Pepper was also refreshing, and I appreciated that they served it in a glass rather than a plastic mug. One thing I noticed in their menu is that they appear to pay attention to folks who have vegetarian and/or gluten free needs in their diet. This doesn't effect me, but it is appreciated, so kudos to the management for that. Unfortunately, I also noticed that they require a mandatory "large party fee" for parties of 8 or more, which is 20%. This didn't effect me either, but it would be annoying to me if I were in a large party. I think this is unnecessary, presumptuous, and a little annoying. It is essentially a tip that is mandatory, regardless of the quality of the food or the service. If you have a large party, just make sure you don't add another tip on top of this mandatory tip (for the large party) without realizing this. The management should reconsider this annoying practice. Overall, I had an excellent (almost perfect) experience here. I would definitely come here again the next time I'm in the area.

But once you arrive, you're in for a real culinary trip south of the border. I dropped in very eager to try one of their taco plates. While the pictures on the restaurant's Facebook page had already piqued my appetite, I wanted to see for myself if they were the real deal. So, for my first meal here, I ordered the Pastor Street Tacos. Like at any good Mexican restaurant, my meal began with chips and salsa. It's an unwritten rule of mine that if the complimentary chips and salsa are good, the main dishes will be just as good, if not better. Fortunately, that rule holds true for Mr. Taco. I tried both the red and green salsas, which were truly spicy--a definite plus in my book. The tacos arrived after a few minutes. While the menu said they were miniature--there were four in total--they were a perfect portion. Anchored by marinated pork and topped with fresh onions and cilantro on corn tortillas, the tacos were accompanied by a bean-filled consomme and rice. With just one bite, I imagined myself on the streets of Guadalajara or Monterey; the authenticity was simply evident. I occasionally dipped the tacos in the consomme, which I could describe as a bit earthy and salty. Overall, the meal was incredibly enjoyable. This dish is a prime candidate for a go-to order on a return visit. I was very well taken care of by our waiter, Samuel. The meal's spiciness had me quickly finishing my water, but he kept the glasses coming without me having to ask. While working on the meal, I was parked in front of one of the business's massive TVs, which were tuned to the Astros game. That said, I consider Mr. Taco an ideal place to catch a game. It helps that it's open until 10 p.m.--or 2 a.m. on the weekends--though a staff member told me that's assuming they're not having a slow night. Price-wise, I'd say the costs are quite fair. My platter was about $13, which would be roughly three dollars more elsewhere.
