A waiter there told me to go try El Hidalguense on Longpoint. Haven’t had the chance yet. Anyone been there?

I go about once a quarter.  I like it but it isn’t Teo good.  however it’s more convenient for me as I ride my bike up and down long point for lunch.   Not Tex mex, more gente

Don Carlos on 76th, deep in the 2nd ward hood. $14, 3 cheese enchiladas. Don’t be shocked if a dj is rocking the place. Excellent bar

My dad loves this place. I usually get the carne guisada plate with queso flameado con chorizo as an app, but those enchiladas look great. Think I'll get that next time.

Less than 10 minutes from Soto’s

I need to go give Soto’s another try. Been there a couple of times and just wasn’t that impressed. My usual measuring sticks are Teotihuacan and Lopez.

Yesterday I tried La Lupita off Pinemont. It was pretty solid. The barbacoa wasn’t as good as Gerardo’s but it was still good. I have also had better Al Pastor, but again, was still good. The choriqueso was greasy and awesome.

Taco de bistec, Al Pastor, barbacoa:

Staggered over to Tacos El Bigotes yesterday.  Got three quesabirria and a trompo all the way.   Very tasty.   It was very crowded.  The guy making the birria tacos was pumping them out quick.  The corn tortilla could have been crisper and the cheese spilling out at the edges needed to be carmelized a bit more.  Maybe at a slower hour  the tacos could have had  a chance to set up right.   Anyhow, it was good.

i came across a newsfeed article about a place off jones or west road - jersey village/cyfair area.  can anyone think of a place out that way that would be worthy of writing an article about them?  may have been about barbacoa, may have been about menudo.   there was something that stood out there.  i meant to save but seems lost forever now.

Finally got around to hauling the family over to try Candente. Everything was great but I was told the brisket enchiladas were cant miss and...they missed. Brisket was ok, too dry. The bbq sauce on top was wayyyyy too sweet for the dish. Just didnt work for me. Wife got the carnitas and they were great. The red salsa was very good, the green was damn good. Margaritas were good. Queso was really good. I'll go back.

Get the ribeye fajitas next time. They’re my favorite thing on the menu.

Hiway Cantina sucked

Went there recently before an Astros game and I thought the food was pretty meh, middle of the road TexMex. Nothing at all to go out of the way for. The kick to the nuts was how expensive it was for the quality you’re getting. We were there pregame before a Friday night Astros game and there were maybe three other tables in occupied in the restaurant. I don’t see how it makes it. I’m really surprised that the Agricole guys can’t make something work in that space.
