May 26, 20232 yr Jardin Corona in downtown Marble Falls is fair to acceptable lately. P.S. None of the restaurants have enough employees lately, though. Edited May 26, 20232 yr by DalTxHornFan
May 26, 20232 yr Julie's Cocina in Cottonwood Shores is very good gringo Tex Mex. El Rancho in Burnet and Alfredos in Kingsland are legit!

It’s mind bottling that a big city so close to San Antonio can have worse Tex-mex than little towns like Burnet and Kingsland. It’s embarrassing really. So edgy.

May 26, 20232 yr When is the last time you even lived in Austin? Your "shit on Austin texmex" routine is so fucking tired. The more important question is when was the last time your mom sucked my cock. Please, tell me the amazing Tex Mex joints in Austin.

But it is known that austin Tex Mex is a lacking space. Bbq, nope. Burgers, nope. But austin Tex Mex is few and far between. It is known. People recommend Maudie’s, the most middling of places. Don’t be offended by my opinions. It’s an opinion. If you like a spot, go eat there. But my OPINION is when I eat these places they don’t hold a candle to places I such abhorrent places such as Houston. It’s not personal.
May 26, 20232 yr When is the last time you even lived in Austin? Your "shit on Austin texmex" routine is so fucking tired. Tell me the absolute best Tex Mex spot in Austin and I will go there next week.

That said I don't understand your obsession with bagging on austin tex mex. There's still good stuff out there. You do have to sift through a bit of shit to find it.

That’s fine because it’s your opinion. There are several joints in Austin I thoroughly enjoy, but they are few and far between. I’m willing to risk a heartache and try both your and zfeja’s suggestions to change Emmy mind that Austin’s Tex Mex is just middling. Give me a suggestion and I will check it out. I have an open mind and open mouth when it comes to food.

It's the complete opposite of what you do for the BBQ threads, which is weird and it indicates either you have some personal ax to grind about Austin Tex-Mex, or Austinites in general who dare to enjoy the food that the city has to offer, which is also weird.

Sure, I like austin of the 90s. But everyone prefers “their” Austin. I’m glad I don’t have to eat two Tex Mex lunches in one day as EyM is a personal favorite of mine. I’m not thread shitting. Just calling it as I see it. Just like the bbq thread. See my opinion on Pinkerton’s and Roegel’s.
May 26, 20232 yr Food shouldn’t be adversarial. It’s supposed to bring people together. Assuming nothing comes up, I will go check it out. I set a reminder for the night before. This means I am likely forgoing my usual photography outing, which means a lot to me.

Not sure it's somewhere I'd be adventurous with the menu but the standards I think they do very well. Good enough for me. I’m the kind of dude that doesn’t deviate. I find a plate or two at a restaurant and that is what I get every fucking time. But again, the is shit is subjective, an opinion. So if I think another place does it better, that doesn’t mean fuck all to you or your mom. It’s just an opinion. I feel like folks have forgotten what options mean.

I just roll my eyes when folks suggest that there isn't good texmex to be had. There's a half a million Mexican Americans here. They didn't forget how to cook. Just try and avoid the, um, whiter (whitest?) parts of Austin.

Regarding whitest…it’s not necessarily that. I moved in DC I. 2000-2002. Next to the studio where I worked was a salvadoreño restaurant that served some Tex Mex dishes. They did so because that is what is popular herein the US. But it was awful. It wasn’t about how white DC IS. Anyways, I’m going to try it with an open mind. Even if it falls short of my expectations, that should t mean anything to you.
May 26, 20232 yr My current go to in Austin is Casa Garcias on Wm Cannon, but mainly because my wife loves their soup. If I’m up for a drive I’ll go down to the original Texican on Manchaca. And there’s never a wait at Santa Rita. I don’t think either of these places are as good as joints in San Antonio or Houston (or El Paso or Santa Fe for Sw Amex) but they’re pretty damn good.

My wife and I spent the week going through all his shit with her 5 siblings, one of whom is a Baptist minister in that quaint little burg and who has very pedestrian taste in pretty much everything. He picked it and nobody was up for an argument. Man, I didn't even think I was striking a match, much less starting a conflagration. Apparently, that baseball game made everybody really pissy. (Me too.)
May 28, 20232 yr Chorizo quesadilla from some fucking trailer down the street from where I just moved into. $10. Such a shame this city doesn't have any good or readily available Mexican food. I think I'm going to take a road trip to Lexington, Kentucky. I bet their texmex is fucking awesome.

May 28, 20232 yr Oh no, no tea today at Enchiladas y Mas, guess that means margs and cancelling all afternoon meetings today. Oh shucks!Thank you for your sacrifice
June 1, 20232 yr Never see it mentioned much, but El Michoacano across from the airport is excellent as well.

June 18, 20232 yr That's a bad day at EyM. They're consistently the best in town for that style of chili gravy over cheese enchiladas. Yours looks like some sort of cheese overdose on an enchilada dinner, which might be tasty, but doesn't look typical. Edited June 18, 20232 yr by jimmyjazz

July 18, 20232 yr [mention=98]Patricio Swayze[/mention] [mention=3794]ztejas[/mention] What ever happened with the Las Lomas meal?I haven’t had a chance yet. Was in Europe and now about to start new job. But it’s on my list.
July 18, 20232 yr Habanero’s on oltorf still kicking? That was go to spot, gringos were the minority every time I went so that has to count for something.
July 18, 20232 yr We had a hankering for EyM last night, but of course they're closed, so we ordered Maudie's. Nobody will believe this, but the red salsa that came with our order was absolutely fantastic. I don't remember their salsa being anything to write home about, but this stuff was terrific.
July 18, 20232 yr I've always liked Maudi's saulsa, but it can definitely carry some lasting garlic. Maudie's may not be the best, but they do some things really well. Pete's breakfast taco and fajito taco plate are outstanding and Maggie's Plate is the perfect lunch.
