Ah I thought it closed for some reason. Maybe I was thinking of the one that was at the Triangle.

West of I45?  Somewhere along I10 between Dairy Ashford and Bunker Hill, no more than 1/2 mile from I10?

within that box i'd probably pick goode co cantina, but i'd probably drive out of that box and go to juarez on gessner at clay.

Lopez slams on their enchiladas, fine choice!

Anyone had cheese enchiladas at Taco Shack? 

That little round aluminum to go plate full of enchiladas, gravy, rice and beans is so good.

I will say their tortillas don't last the day very well, so I don't know about that.  Get the HEB heat and eat.

Let's be honest. I'd probably just eat the tortillas and the extra beans and not have any leftovers.

I like an extremely cheap cheese enchilada. The ingredients probably cost the restaurant about 10 cents per plate.

Therefore, the Los Tios Birthday enchilada is my favorite. 50 cents per enchilada.

Swanson TV DINNER box 1981 MEXICAN combo tamales enchilada rice bean ...

Two of the old El Patio (RIP) enchilada frozen dinners after a night of drinking in high school was the cure for a hangover. 

Yep.  The El Charrito ones weren't bad either.

I'd get the enchilada dinner.   Mash up the enchiladas to make sort of a queso dip, eat them scooped up with tortilla chips.  Then, do the same with the beans and rice, mixed together.  L-I-V-I-N.

The relatively new Night Hawk frozen enchiladas line aren’t bad. 

What’s the spot in Wichita Falls with good enchiladas? Have a meeting there Monday night and want a decent spot to eat. Thanks in advance.

Here’s link to recipe:

https://www.thecountrycook.net/chicken-enchiladas-red-enchilada-sauce/#recipe

‘The ‘red sauce’ is simply chili gravy. With that said, this recipe may unseat my stand-by Robb Walsh chili gravy. It uses 3 Tbs of butter in lieu of oil and a small amount of tomato sauce and some sugar, otherwise, it is very close to Rob Walsh recipe. Unbelievable good.

Edit to the above - we used corn tortillas, not flour called out in recipe. Just saw that and was like WTF? Flour? That’s damn burritos.

Sauce recipe is top drawer.

What is that green shit on the plate?

Can confirm regarding Juarez.  Went for the first time last weekend.  Good margs, FAST service and above average enchiladas.  I'll go back.  Just watch out you dont drive your truck into the retention whatever in their parking lot.  I'm sure some marg'd up mom has done that more than once.

IMO, this is a Top Ten Surly/Shaggy thread. Focus on just enchiladas is the greatest thing ever.

This might go in the unpopular opinions on another thread, but although I love pretty much all foods I am not a fan of raw onions. So I always leave them off and prefer they not be inside either.

Swanson TV DINNER box 1981 MEXICAN combo tamales enchilada rice bean ...

I was raised on these as we lived as misplaced Texans in places without real TexMex.  Usually a mix between the combo and the enchilada dinners.  They didn’t have the salsa bowl in the middle until latter days just before the shift to plastic.
 

the big difference to later versions: that aluminum tray.  Microwave ovens didn’t exist.  Eating a TV dinner required planning: a hour in the oven. But the result was far better:  the beans had that crust you get from a salamander, the rice fluffy not gloopy, the gravy rich with little pools of grease.

I went solo to the Westheimer location at 6:30, thinking I’d sit at the bar. Place was jammed and nobody was eating. Bailed.
