October 25, 20232 yr Uncle Julio’s succcckkkksssss. People who like that place think On the Border is good. Like I said I didn’t choose to go and wasn’t paying. The place was packed. It boggles the mind sometimes. It’s like seeing a full parking lot at Dickeys in bbq rich Ft Worth.

November 4, 20232 yr Popular Post Wife got me the Robb Walsh Tex Mex book and I had some corn tortillas and lard, so decided to do some quick enchiladas for lunch. she ate it and immediately took a huge shit. I’m just glad that even though we left the state, I can still provide these authentic experiences for her. recipe is not bad at all. Wife is not a fan of the NEISD recipe but ate some of these. I had enough leftover gravy for a plate.

November 6, 20232 yr I've been on a cheese enchilada tour the last few weeks. I've hit up a few local joints that don't get it right. Matt's El Rancho was very good, near perfect. Maudie's wasn't as good. Casa Garcia in Round Rock got it perfect. I got two more orders to go and gained some weight last week.

November 11, 20232 yr Popular Post Leftover NEISD enchilada, refried beans, egg fried in bacon grease and some Taco Deli red salsa.
November 11, 20232 yr I need to find a recipe for taco deli red salsa. I used to straight drink that stuff. Looks good.

Last time was four years ago, so no telling if it is still up to snuff.
November 11, 20232 yr My father-in-law was born and raised in San Antonio. His go-to joint was Karam's. He took us there once, I really enjoyed it, but alas they closed a while back.
November 11, 20232 yr Quite awhile back @jimmyjazz I didn’t know you were married to Brat’s daughter.
November 11, 20232 yr Just now, Cajun said: Quite awhile back @jimmyjazz I didn’t know you were married to Brat’s daughter. She's a lot better looking that Brat, so I have that going for me, which is nice.
November 11, 20232 yr El Gungagalunga would be a great Tex Mex restaurant name for a joint down on Broadway by Brackenridge golf course.
November 12, 20232 yr You know yesterday’s was near perfect but was missing something. Ahh the bacon. But of course. Now perfection.
November 13, 20232 yr That actually looks pretty good, especially for a fake Mexican joint just off the frontage road of a major highway, in a big box strip mall near the tire shop. But it does look pretty good.

You know, other than the fact that it's heaven for middle-aged gringo women (wait....that's not a drawback...I enjoy the view), and it's a very overpriced chain....Lupe's grub is actually pretty good. The fajitas taste the way I grew up with -- simple, grilled, and tender. The tortillas are made in-house. And the tex-mex offerings like enchiladas and beans are legit. You just end up paying a "in a newly constructed building with easy freeway access and appealing to white women" tax of about 30-40% extra. And you have long waits. Haven't eaten there in a long time (last time was dinner with a former UT baseball player and his wife, and yes, they are textbook Texas white folks).
November 13, 20232 yr I enjoy Lupe Tortilla especially their grilled products. And to your point the fajitas are like when fajitas first became popular. It is expensive but so is Mi Cocina and LP doesn’t have that Highland Park asshole vibe.

Their enchilada gravy just isn't very good. When I'm forced to go to Lupe, I just stick with grilled stuff. And I always, always wish I'd spent that time going to EyM instead.

And I always, always wish I'd spent that time going to EyM instead. I too prefer the grilled stuff. The enchiladas are technically correct; like you it’s the gravy I have an issue with. Looks right, tastes slightly off.
November 13, 20232 yr As a self professed San Antonio Mexican food snob, I begrudgingly have to give it to Lupes. I haven't tried their enchies, but their fajitas are really good.

As someone that doesn’t live in TX anymore, I would murder a middle aged gringo woman for some Lupe fajitas right now. What place in Austin is THAT much better than Lupe? I’ll hang up and listen

Their beef fajitas or tacos al carbon are probably better than Lupe.

Rosa’s is somehow underrated. It’s cheap and the food is terrific. Ritas suck, but you’re probably not going there to drink a lot.
November 20, 20232 yr Pappasito’s has a damn good beef enchiladas plate as well. It just costs like $35 a plate
