Hurst has a hidden gem in the Antique Mall parking lot. If you are in the area...do not hesitate to stop in and try some delicious Tex mex. Excellent service and awesome food...can't wait to come back for more.

Salsa and chips
Phillip D.

This review is a few weeks late. New restaurant for us. They had some interesting homemade items that enhanced the meal. The salsa was original but the chips were not authentic. We tried a couple of traditional menu items to measure against other restaurants. My sponsor had the beef enchiladas. I ordered the chimichangas which came with a little guacamole, rice and refried beans. The wrapping for the chimichangas was homemade tortillas not out of a bag. The staff were very nice. Stop by and give them a try.

Tacos all carbon
Mike T.

The beat tacos all carbon I've ever had, and I have tried many highly praised restaurants around DFW. Excellent attentive and thoughtful service.

Beef Fajitas
Beth C.

Lots of gluten free options! Super tender and delicious beef fajitas. My hubby doesn't usually like salsa and loved the warm homemade salsa. Perfect for families of picky eaters too because they have non-Tex-mex too.

Food and services are great. Hope business picks up! I'd hate to see them not survive!

So, buddy asks me if I want to go have a drink at this bar across from Bell Helicopter one night…read more I'm like, "are you kidding? No!" He says it's a nice place, about as divey as where we were at the time, and after he said he'd drive, I said "sure, why not" Get there, walk in, and he's right. It's not bad at all. It's old inside and the last remodel looks like it was back in the 70's, but I never really care about that stuff. It was a weekend night and there were quite a few people there. Bartenders were quick and friendly. No draft beer, but a pretty stocked full bar so no complaints. One thing I really ended up liking best about this place, was it's a mostly older crowd. Majority of people, I'd guess, 40's and up, maybe upper 30's in the least. I'm bad with ages. Everyone was friendly. Looks like a big regular crowd, seemed everyone knew each other. People doing Karaoke in the corner. Everyone was having a good time. Didn't see any people having drama or walk in misfits making trouble. Bit of a drive for me, but might make this more of a first stop on the weekend place. Drinks were reasonable.

Nice smaller club with pool tables, a stage & dance floor. They have reasonably priced drinks…read moreserved by some of the nicest folks around. The regular crowd is friendly. I usually stop in for Friday Night Karaoke. Great K J with large song collection who is very easy to work with. The sing list is not overly long so it's a good laid back evening.

My husband, son and I love Indian food and were excited to try this place and add it to our list of…read morelocal restaurant options when we're craving Indian flair and this place did not disappoint!! For an appetizer we got the chicken Momo platter and I loved all 4 options. I didn't get a picture of it but I got the chicken tikka kebab and it was great. My son is the adventurous type so he tried the Bhutan which is stir fried goat intestines. I actually tried it and I really enjoyed it. The flavors were amazing! I can't recall what my husband had but I know that we all enjoyed our food. I'm not sure what the business was before but they did a fantastic job transforming the space with its moody, dimly lit ambiance and thoughtful design choices. My only complaint was the LED light above our table kept flickering, but aside from that, I really enjoyed the atmosphere. We will definitely be back!!

Came here for dinner on a Sunday evening to celebrate two birthdays…read more I made a reservation for a party of 7, but our table wasn't ready when we arrived, and we were seated next to another large group. I noticed two other large tables marked as reserved, so I was unsure why our table wasn't ready. That was a little disappointing. We ordered waters, drinks, appetizers, and mains. Unfortunately, it took a long time for both the drinks and food to come out, especially since there were only four other tables occupied in the restaurant. We started with the Paneer Momo (kothey style), Mutton Momo (kothey style), Aloo Chicken Roll, and Kah-Tahr Poleko (grilled jackfruit). I wish there was an explanation of each momo style on the menu, as it would have been helpful to understand the differences. The paneer momo arrived first and was quickly devoured by the table, it was really good. The grilled jackfruit was something different for me and reminded me of a grilled pineapple/meat-like texture, which was enjoyable. While I don't eat meat, I was told the aloo chicken roll was spicy. The mutton momo was also enjoyed by the table. For mains, we ordered chow mein, a tandoor platter, two butter chickens, one paneer tikka masala (medium spicy), and more than enough garlic naan. The butter chicken was enjoyed by the table. The paneer tikka masala was fine, but it was unbelievably sweet from the honey and had no spice at all. I wouldn't order it again. If I were to get it again, I would request butter paneer instead since the sauces were noticeably different. The paneer tikka masala was also very bright red, and our fingers turned slightly orange/red from the sauce, which made it seem like food coloring was added. That was disappointing. We were looking forward to the chow mein, but unfortunately, it never came out. The garlic naan was alright. It was thinner, less fluffy than expected, and slightly chewy. They did change the song for the birthday celebration and brought out two complimentary ice creams with birthday candles, which was a nice touch. Overall, since this is a Nepalese restaurant, I would stick with the momos and appetizers. Those were the highlights of the meal.

This was a friends recommendation and I must say I'm happy that she chose this spot…read more I walked in and was greeted however I explained I was waiting for a friend so I took a seat on the couch and waited for my friend to arrive. The moment she walked in they were ready to seat us. Unfortunately I don't recall the name of our server however he was awesome! Knowledgeable, helped with making decisions, and friendly. We sat long after we were done eating catching up and not once did he rush us out the door, instead he kept coming by refilling our glasses. So in the process of catching up, I dropped the ball and didn't get the pictures i normally would get (I know, rookie mistake) however they have great lunch specials and great prices (my plate was $10 and came with beans, rice, a brisket taco, and a cheese enchilada with pico on the side). When we got seated they also brought chips and each of us our own salsa so I could double dip as much as I liked and put some on my food. Seriously, this was a great lunch and I even had enough to take home and munch on later. Will I go back? Definitely as I need to give the drinks and other dishes a try!!!

I requested a side out guacamole with it. Their queso and guacamole was the tiniest portion for the cost. We had to request extra salsa and they wouldn't refill the chips. Beers were cold. Food came out hot. I do say that you hear the microwave door slam constantly. I don't know if we would go back but I'm glad we tried it. Our bill was $80 for the equivalent of On The Border.
