re: Superior Grill prices and margaritas

They cook all their food a day or two in advance and reheat everything.

Complain about their prices all you want, but this is silly.

First off, you can see them making the grilled items in front of you if you just look through the glass. They are not pre-cooked. They hit the grill raw.

Secondly, if you think other restaurants don’t pre-cook items that obviously can’t be made to order, you are maybe not versed in how those foods are made.

Lasagna, gumbo, enchiladas, twice baked potatoes or any sort of baked potato, bread pudding, cake, Mac and cheese, etc etc all are very long cook time items. Every restaurant on the planet pre-makes their non-grilled and non-fried items because customers tend to not want to wait the whole 1.5+ hours it takes to cook from scratch

Do you think La Carreta is making you a special one-person pan of enchiladas from raw in the oven?

Go somewhere else then

Idk but the food is just as good if not better, as well as much cheaper so I chose to go there instead of somewhere like Superior Grill where you are essentially paying for the "experience" of being there

I find them to be overpriced for the quality of the food. I find it somewhat bland. Los Reyes is much better in my opinion. However, they have a really good atmosphere and bar area.

That’s a totally legitimate POV, but you can’t just make a claim that a business is serving people old/gross food because you personally like somewhere else better. Superior has one of the most transparent Mexi kitchens in town with the tortilla ladies being behind glass where you’re encouraged to watch, and the kitchen open view behind them.

Sounds like you built up a tolerance, alkie.

Has anyone else noticed that the Superior Grill margaritas do not have as much alcohol in them?

I had this exact discussion with my wife last week. Two large frozen during happy hour used to get me drunk...I had 3 last weekend and barely had a buzz. Very disappointing.

Los Reyes much better than STUperior!!! At least Reyes doesn't charge for straws on to go margaritas....

I live right by there on Highland, the kitchen is up and roaring before 8am on most days. This is what they did at the old Govt location, cook the food before the rush and reheat everything. Govt location was never that good but always packed. With SG you are paying a premium to eat reheated shitty food bc of the "experience." Most Tex Mex in town is better than SG, La Carreta is my example bc its right down the street from highland SG and much better/cheaper. Thats cool you can watch the ladies make tortillas tho at SG
