Victoria (TX, not BC)

Tried to take my oldest daughter (8) to Double J or Jim's Big Burger a couple of weekends ago, but she wouldn't abide.

And every Christmas we order dozens of Ventura tamales. I recommend the hot version.

Another Victoria Icon. Agree on the hot, though the regular is also good. My aunt ordered a mess of 'em for Thanksgiving last year at their place outside of Cuero.

La Hacienda fajitas with the sauces I always liked. Thai Orchid and Yamato I’ve enjoyed everytime I’ve gone, Pumphouse tries to be the nice restaurant in Victoria but it’s average at best. Are there any other “nicer” restaurants in Victoria anymore?

Yamato is always good. Newt's Thai Kitchen we like. Haven't been to Pumphouse in 10 or so years, it was a decent place then, if I remember correctly. Not sure of any other nicer places, tbh, unless they have something tucked away downtown.

Some day a restaurant will stick at that location.
