Reviews
Food was ok. The rice and beans came out on the cold side so they really got cold during our time eating.
Steak fajitas had a few tough pieces and onions a little burned on the bottom.
Quesabirra was good. It was a flour tortilla with birra meat, cheese and your choice for the cilantro and onion.
Staff was very friendly and attentive. The establishment was clean.
Is the food good? Yes.
Is the food great? No.
When you order the plate of tacos, they offer no sauces, just plain tortillas with a few choice morsels of chicken or beef (we ordered both…large party of children) with a side of rice and beans. Typical Mexican restaurant style, and the beans did have a sprinkling of cold cheese on top of the “pile” of beans.
I mean, to be fair, I don’t like Mexican restaurants. They are the lowest base of ingredients and maximized with the plainest starches. So, really, what do I expect?
They did their job, and they did really the best with what is in the pantry. Kind of. Heat and order of prep matters, heating the beans with the cold cheese on top would have been a bit more appetizing.
I had the Salmon, against my better judgment, BUT I was surprised at how well they cooked the salmon. A fillet that is easily overdone. And it wasn’t. Seasoned with salt well and I genuinely enjoyed it.
The secret is to ask for enough chips and salsa before the actual entrees arrive, so you can use the extra sauces from the chips to accent the entrees.
You can also, as I did, go off yourself and grab some sauces from the shelf against the back wall of the place, like store-bought hot sauce, names you recognize from your own pantry.
No staff is going to offer to go get it or even offer that they have it.
Staff-pleasant.
Staff-barely competent.
Staff-young and without oversight.
Staff-could have been great, was um, how do you say…meh.
Now that being said, where else, if you are for some unfortunate reason in this forsaken part of Texas, are you going to go? There are not a plethora of options. I’m not sure if there are 5 options.
So, we all left satisfied. I am not going to say the experience wasn’t worth the price. Just know, it’s a typical Mexican Restaurant and that is exactly what you are going to get.
Ranking right down there with a run-of-the-mill Italian joint: shoving plate-loads of fat pasta and tomato paste…hoping that the pinch of canned alfredo or butter wine sauce will fool you into thinking that this is the flavor of the homeland, and banking on the fact that you have never actually tasted the real food from the Mediterranean.
Now, If you can find one, I recommend Tex-Mex. Not much different you say?
Not so! Tex-Mex eats fight over the taste, secret recipe of the salsa and green sauces for their chips. Even the recipes of the chips themselves. They add the ingredient of pride, and presentation to the experience, plus, nicer plates, flatware, servers who have to struggle to keep their positions over the long line of applicants coming in behind them.
Sorry, I digress….
this place is OK.
See pics below…
No, just NO. I’ve been here now 3-4 times because it’s on my way home. But I just can’t do it anymore.
The food is awful. The drinks are really good though so there’s that.
Food is bland, tastes like everything is frozen, nothing fresh. Beria tacos, no consume tortillas, not even fried. Just a street taco with no cheese. Burritos are served on raw burrito, not toasted or anything so they got soggy and just fell apart.
Breakfast isn’t any better. Eggs placed on top of raw tortillas, which made them soggy and inedible, looks like a baby had an accident on the plate. Biscuits were barely cooked long enough, again, frozen. There are many better places to eat in Bowie.
I like how the restaurant leans more towards tradition Mexican cuisine rather than the basic tex-mex restaurants that are everywhere here.
Food was fresh and tasty (sour cream chicken enchiladas, rice & charro beans)
The chips were delicious and salsa was uniquely flavored and served warm
Overall, I was happy and will be back for more 🙂
Year later update: knocked off a star as I ordered the gordo chicken burrito and it was far from meeting my expectations…
However, I ate there again and got the chicken quesadillas and they were really good so I guess it depends on who is the chef that day..
The tamales are home made so they’re very tasty.
