Paid $25 for 10 tamales b/c they ran out for a full dozen, only 12 pm. Tamales are huge, but of course lots of masa and meat not even shredded just chopped. Luckily, at least the flavor is there. Def would not try again.

Our first time visiting, & now we are hooked! The owner herself prepared our entire order & everything was delicious! We had the Menudo, some Tamales, a Quesadilla, a Tostada & some Tacos... Menudo with the option adding pata de puerco (pigs feet) & Maíz (hominy) This was some of the best menudo we've had in Garland! The quesadilla de carné desherbada was also very tasty! The Tostada was another great treat! And their tacos! We had to have some of the tacos de asada, on both flour & corn tortillas Just FYI! Corn tortillas are made to order!!! We will definitely be back!

Taco & beans

Authentic flavorful Mexican food. Everything I've tasted here is delicious: The tamales, salsas, beans and tacos were yummy

We had the Chilaquiles and a burrito with potato egg chorizo, and extra Serranos. The burrito was great.... Tortilla was just right, potatoes were done perfectly and had an excellent flavor mixed with the chorizo. Chorizo wasn't too greasy either, but just right. The salsa Verde was awesome too with just the right amount of spice. Chilaquiles were also great and had a great flavor. I will be back soon to try the pambazo and the tortas. And, as far as breakfast burritos go, it's the best I've had in Garland. I'm going to have to go back for lunch today!

Very flavorful tamales. We had beef, chicken, and spicy pork. All were delicious! Personally I thought the pork were best

It is served in a sturdy plastic bowl, with a resealable lid. Recycle it, or keep it for some other use. Minus the tortilla, you get the whole burrito in this bowl, plus some crispy fried tortilla strips. A bit of chunky Salsa Fresca,in the bowl, too, along with your salsa packet options. (I prefer the green) Downvote on the strong black pepper on the fried potatos! It is stronger than Texas smoked brisket crust, wow!! Either too much black pepper, or this is nuked black pepper, extra strength? Next time, I will sub-out the potatos for more cheese. House hot black coffee was smooth, I drink it nekkid, no sugar, no cream. Good deal at $1.59 Drivethru service was smooth, I paid with card. (Salad & Go! is a kiosk business; no lobby, no dine-in, no outdoor seating. Also, no public restroom. The employee restroom door is on the outside, because the entire business is a kitchen. Double drivethru lanes with 2 order screens, one pay & food delivery window. Pre-paid moble orders can park & pickup at walkup window in front, but no new orders are done at this window. If drivethru is empty, the pre-paid can use drivethru window)

The staff is always friendly and pleasant, and you can tell they genuinely enjoy working here. There are plenty of seating options: a cozy bar area, three separate dining rooms, a large patio with its own bar, and even picnic tables out back. I think the upstairs may be reserved for private events. Every time I visit, I end up ordering the same thing because it's just that good--the Naked Chicken three-piece. Absolutely delicious! I'm also glad they now offer two sides with your entrée for a small extra charge. The mac & cheese and green beans are both amazing. I've tried a cocktail or two, but usually skip them since the portions are small for the price. Overall, this is such a fun, charming spot with consistently great food. Definitely one of my go-to favorites! Add it to the Love List

Who would have thought the historic Oliver house in Rowlett would be transformed into a…read moreMexican-Inspired Fried Chicken spot? Not me! Brick and Bones Backyard is a blue house on the corner of Main St. in Rowlett, Tx, that has been transformed into something magical. This Mexican-Inspired "chicken shop" is offering fried & rotisserie chicken, classic cocktails, and live music in a rustic setting. The menu is diverse and offering all things chicken that is brined 24 hours, fried and can be order breaded or naked( for the gluten-free in you). They also have rotisserie chicken, tenders, sandwiches, salads, bowls and wings, along with unique sides. Poblano mashed potatoes, habanero mac n cheese, mexican corn, etc... often garnished with fresh radish and cilantro around out the menu, with top notch service to boot. Mi marido ordered the breaded fried chicken, mexican corn and poblano mashed potatoes and gravy. The chicken was well seasoned with a great crunch. The potatoes had good flavor, but were barely warm. I can imagine their greatness heated. The mexican corn on the other hand was the real elote deal! The fresh snap of sweet corn, dosed with cotija cheese and spices lives up to the hype! Sweet, spicy, savory, it hit all the flavor profiles. I had the naked chicken with an order crinkle fries(faves) which was greatly appreciated for it's gluten-freeness and flavor. However, it was abit overcooked. Which left it thready and a little dry. The sauce that accompanied it, was needed, but shouldn't have been, while the fries were fresh, but undercooked. The concept and flavors make Brick & Bone standout on the chicken front. Better execution can make it a cut above the rest. Check It Out!

Well, talk about a hidden gem. I had this place bookmarked but could not tell you where I heard…read moreabout it. It is basically a little luncheon oasis dropped right in the middle of a gigantic industrial park. On the drive over I was seriously questioning my Yelp choices. It is that kind of location. But trust Yelp and sometimes you are handily rewarded, which we absolutely were. We came after a few hours strolling around at the Botanical Gardens, so we rolled in around 1:30 and there were still plenty of people there. I can only imagine at noon this place is packed, and honestly it should be. My biggest complaint is the menus. There is one above the counter that does not include everything, and then a different, more complete version if you scan the QR code at the table (But 2 different navigations even on the website with slightly different menus). Do yourself a favor and look it up ahead of time so you are not standing there making panic decisions. There is a half sandwich and half soup combo (Not on the board but online menu), which is definitely the move. I got the pozole, which you should absolutely order, and a half grilled cheese on their housemate sourdough. Normally not my go to, but I was trying not to be completely stuffed since we had dinner plans. And they bake their own sourdough, so I had a strong feeling it would be great, and it delivered. Toasty and melty, American and cheddar. My husband got the southwestern wrap, and my friend went with the half club and half tomato soup. She immediately regretted not getting the pozole and the half birria sandwich, which tells you everything you need to know. Also need to mention the snickerdoodle. Not much to look at, kind of humble, but it completely makes up for it with flavor and that perfect soft texture. Go ahead and get the cookie. You are not here to make responsible decisions. Bottom line, it may feel like you are driving into the middle of nowhere, but keep going. This place is worth it.

This is exactly the kind of hole in the wall lunch spot you'll miss if you're not paying attention…read more I literally drove past it twice before realizing it was right there. It's also one of those "if you know, you know" places, and clearly people know, because the to-go orders were nonstop. The second you walk in, you're hit with cases of fresh baked bread, and pastries. The almond pistachio croissant was the biggest one I've ever seen and had me drooling before I even placed my order. It is counter service, and I went with a Mediterranean sandwich with chicken while my lunch date got a classic BLT. Both were incredible, super fresh ingredients, excellent flavor, and next level fresh bread/ flatbread. Try the sourdough ! You can tell this place is legit because you see everyone in there from construction workers, people, in scrubs, law-enforcement, executives, all grabbing lunch. When that many hard-working people trust a spot, you know it's got to be good. If you're in Garland, add this place to your must try list. It is an excellent lunch spot.
