Lupe Tortilla is garbage…the best Tex Mex in Houston is at Candente.

We were down in South Texas during Snowmageddon, we were told to try a restaurant in Kingsville, El Dorado Restaurant. The lady is from Guadalajara, Mexico. Food and drinks were some of the better. We ended of there the next night, the owner remembered each drink we had ordered the night before.

El Paso on Coursey. The last time I ate there I got sick as a dog. Something they fed me was well past it's expiration date.

What did you get?

two taco plate with cochinita pibil taco and a taco al carbon. The tortillas was old, not warmed up, they fell apart when I picked them up. The pork was dry (which I understand happens) and there was maybe 2 pieces of beef on the tacos al carbon. My youngest’s quesadilla was burned and we had to ask for the charge of the table side guacamole to be taken off because we didn’t get it.

Like I said in my first post - maybe it was an off day. Can’t be a language barrier because my husband and I speak Spanish

Weird.

We've been going to Blue Corn pretty much since they've been open and I can't say I've had a bad meal there. We've tried just about everything on the menu by this point...everything is good.

Ceviche, enchiladas, tampiquena, carnitas, tacos, al pastor, etc. Even the texmex is pretty good. All of it is good.

Tex mex is what most Americans assume is Mexican food.
If you're getting chips and salsa when you sit down it's likely not a real Mexican joint. But that's something we come to expect with Mexican.

Yall hit a nerve in here talking shite about superior the #1 spot in br for 30 year old bday parties, anytime I get a group text from an old buddy about a bday dinner I know it’s going to be superior

Mestizo is the best for freshness and quality of ingredients.

I haven’t had their food but their salsa has a very strong ketchup taste ??

Aw man, I love the salsa at Mestizo. You're right it is quite different from other places, but I haven't noticed the ketchup-y taste.

Modesto also has great salsa, although they really skimp on it unless you ask for more. Maybe they were throwing too much away and this was the solution.

I heard La Carreta on Bluebonnet has taken a downturn. Was told it was disgustingly bad now.
