Years ago, we didn't have any decent Mexican for around here. Now we have an embarrassment of…read moreriches in that cuisine. 7 Hermanos is among the best. It's not quite TexMex and not quite Mexican, kind of a cross between those and AmeriMex. You can get it from mild to pretty spicy. The portions are enormous. They bring food out on platters that are bigger than some tables I've owned in college apartments and Army barracks. Like everywhere these days, it can be short staffed at times. My advice is to either enjoy a drink or some chips or an app and take a deep breath. Smell that? That's the kind of ethnic food and experience that's best when it's not rushed. Maybe get here before or after the rush, but please don't take it out on the staff. That's not only rude and ineffective, but kind of dumb. I mentioned TexMex because I married into a family that lives south of the Red River. I know, I know. But they do have good taste in spicy food and they like this place too. The menu is huge too. All kinds of items you expect, lots of seafood, and some dishes like chicken with chorizo and cheese that had a different name in every joint.

I had heard mixed reviews of Don Chuy's but finally decided to try it for lunch. I have my own…read moremixed reviews so now get it. The chips and bean dip were great. The salsa was ok, nothing special but also not bad. I ordered a margarita to drinks. Wasn't a bad margarita but did have an interesting after taste. For my entree I had the Chimichanga with Fajita Steak. The tortilla was fried well and topped with queso. However the steak was so dried out and burnt, it was bad. I did eat it, mainly because I only saw my server when she took my order, brought my margarita and brought my check. She didn't stop by during my meal which is my other complaint. The service was non existent. She was carrying on a long conversation with the table behind me but didn't come by until my meal was done. I would say I also get aggravated with establishments that charge as much if not more than other restaurants and they have the audacity to add a credit card fee. It was on my check before I was even asked how I was paying. I know restaurants have to pay a fee but that is a cost of doing business and should be worked into the pricing. It's not like the prices were cheaper than eating anywhere else. I may consider going back but I'd prefer to drive a bit further and go to Poblano's instead.

Two cheese enchiladas, a chicken enchilada, a steak soft taco and rice and beans have never been…read morebetter. No grease In the cheese at all. The chips were fresh and not greasy either. The service was friendly and the food came out in less than 10 min which I was a little leary of at first, thinking there is no way it can be fresh or hot. It was both fresh AND hot. You have to try the SALSA bar they have. So many different levels of hot and tasty!!! Real Mexican bottled coke too. All for less than $18.00. A definite must!!

Our first impression was interesting name and atmosphere. We enjoyed the half order of nachos…read moresupreme with ground beef (lettuce, tomatoes, beans, sour cream) and white cheese on top and a side order of guacamole. It was the right amount of food for two people. My spouse ordered the four ground beef enchiladas which came with minimal cheese sauce, lettuce, tomatoes, and rice. He had two bottles of corona beer. I originally wanted from the lunch menu but a dinner portion of one hard shell taco and one enchilada. I was in the mood for one chicken and one shrimp. I had to order from the dinner side and ended up with two hard shelled tacos. It was very dry in terms of no salsa or enchilada sauce. The tacos and rice were otherwise alright. We were Just very disappointed with the meal as both were very dry and hard to swallow. Need sauce (cheese, salsa or enchilada sauce), and more seasoning. The other big disappointment was my spouse was served first and I had to wait 10 minutes for my two tacos. Not sure if we will return or just order takeout and add my own sauce at home.
