It helps the rice and beans when you don't apartheid them from the enchiladas. YMMV.

Also I regret to inform you that actually all of the texmex in Austin is inedible. You must have missed the memo here. You're better off eating Korean-Thai-LGBTQ-BBQ-fusion out of a trailer behind a bar that requires a password to enter for $30 a person. 

I've been out in Bastrop for a bit now and have grown fond of an establishment called Guadalajara. Mainly for the margs but the food doesn't suck. I'll do the 3 cheese enchiladas and post a pic here next time I'm there. Highly recommend if y'all are ever in the area.

Looks like maybe the same branding as the Guadalajara in The Woodlands. No idea if that place still exists, it’s been 25 years at least, but they had great tortillas.

But as usual sarcasm is completely lost on this board.

Even so, I do miss Dart Bowl which was also excellent.

freida's enchiladas at texas chili parlor. had been a while, still delicious.

Think a couple of the places mentioned in this thread have went belly up, but here's some 6 year old recommendations.

It’s no dart bowl but threes are a tasty snack

May be for the heb thread but I anticipated with the store in Mansfield they’d have really good cheese enchiladas in the ready to go section or at least In frozen foods.  Nada.  Am I looking g in the wrong place?

There some tiny tray of cheese enchiladas with rice and beans in the meal simple section. Every once in a while I take a look but at $9 or $10 that's a hard sell.

Per the app there's a 4 pack tray, supply your own rice and beans.  But by then it's creeping up to restaurant pricing, having already left taco cobano behind.

Demanded cheese enchiladas as my Father’s Day meal.  American cheese inside, cheddar on top, fresh onions.  
 

Magnifico.

Wife is out of town with my daughter, son is at Grand Lake with friends, and the dogs and I are holding down the homestead. Cheese enchiladas were calling for me but I didn’t want to cook a batch by myself. Y Mas is seven hour drive, praying that Chili Parlor stays in business, and the golden memory of Dart Bowl is fleeting. It’s been a while since I hit El Rancho Grande on 11th Street in Tulsa (open since 1953) as last time was a little off. With that said, they were on point tonight with the finest plate of old school Texas Mex cheese enchiladas I’ve had since eating in a bowling alley on Grover Ave.

Ladies and gentlemen, the Night Hawk plate (I inquired if name had anything to do with Nighthawk in Austin and waiter had no idea). Onions were inside the tortillas but next time I’m requesting more on top.

Beef enchiladas topped with cheese, and cheese enchiladas topped with beef. Rob Walsh’s recipe is simply the best.

As does yours.

When the gravy is on point, still hard to be Maudie’s perfecto. The bartender that keeps asking me if I want beef, chicken or cheese when I order perfecto makes me shake my head though. Good guy otherwise.

Maudie's is like Schroedinger's texmex restaurant in that I feel like it is always somehow both over and underrated. Part of it is probably some consistency issues - especially across locations. 

Even on a personal level I have had pretty bad meals there and I have had amazing meals there and thought at various points that their food was either pretty crappy or actually pretty damn good.

These days I almost always go to the Lake Austin one but I’ve had many, many Tio Chon Enchilada plates there and at 360 over the years and it’s always really damn good. Only a few more weeks and I’ll be back for a football game and definitely a meal at Maudie’s.

Lake Austin and S. Lamar are the only ones I trust. Milagro is hit or miss and Bee Cave is trash. 

Edited by 4th&Five

I only order perfecto there. No rice no beans. Extra white onion on side. It comes down to whether the gravy is on point that particular day. 

Maudies on Lake Austin Blvd. Rest are pretenders (s Lamar has too many bad days)

The North Lamar one was awesome when I lived up there. RIP.

Their rice sucks even on a good day. Beans have always been fine.

I do love a little crispy beef taco action to get things started.

"No rice, no beans."

So what are you angling for?  A discount?  Just less food?

Unpopular Opinion but I don't like the raw onion on my cheese enchiladas....sometimes the onion is just too strong.

Team extra onions, you boys are ruining it for us, always asking to hold the onion. Guys in the kitchen getting gun shy.

No difference in the price. At least I am not paying attention to that. Just want a plate of cheese enchiladas and a Gils, and I don't particularly care for the rice and beans. 

I always go double beans and then have lunch the next day (much to my wife's chagrin).

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

I have been on this spinning rock now for almost 5 decades and sadly today is the first time it hit me that I should be asking for extra sauce on my enchiladas. This post was a fucking epiphany.

Yeah, that never occurred to me.  Next time.  What is it, $2 or so?

I'm a dumbass.

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.
