I must give this a 5 star rating due to their tamales!! I hate tamales to begin with but my work…read morewas hosting birthdays like they do every month. This time it was tamales. I was so hungry, considering the fact I hadn't eaten since the night before, and it was about mid afternoon at the time. I was like "well what do I have to lose? My hunger?" I closed my eyes and ate the chicken one. I'm glad they have chicken tamales. Usually it's pork only. When I say OH-MMM-GEEE!! They were not dry, which is the reason I don't like them in the first place. Super moist, great flavor- another reason why I don't fancy them. Most tamales I've tried have been bland. These were hands down the best I've had. Can't wait to eat them again!

Solid option for barbacoa and corn tortillas. This place also serves birria, menudo, and carnitas…read moreon the weekends. I suggest purchasing your food on the earlier side as the last part of the barbacoa can be a bit on the fattier side. A large package of tortillas runs $3.00 while the barbacoa is ~$17/lb. What I like about the barbacoa vs other places is that the meat is nicely marbled, with very little fat and good seasoning!

BCN had me at octopus... get it, get it, GET IT!!…read more The menu was honestly overwhelming in the best possible way -- everything sounded amazing, which made it so hard to choose. But that just gives me an excuse to come back and try more next time. We came here for my birthday dinner and it absolutely delivered: delicious food, beautiful atmosphere, excellent service, all tucked into one of the most charming neighborhoods. Highly recommend the octopus and the branzino. The bomba rice was flavorful, but a bit too rich for me because of the heavy amount of oil in the dish. Still, that wouldn't stop me from returning -- there are so many other menu items I already want to try.

Catching up with all my reviews and I knew I had to write one for this one as it was one of the…read morebest meals I've had in Texas! This place is a one star Michellin restaurant and I can see why. They have valet but we opted for street parking as there were plenty around the residential areas. When we went, they were super busy so they took out the tasting menu, however, given that we were not from the area, we knew we had to ask, and they were kind enough to accommodate us and offer it. We ended up getting Guava gin n tonic with a hint of matcha and chili. It was unique, different, and surprisingly delicious. As for the food, the lamb chop was delicious, flavorful, and cooked to perfection. The suckling pig was crispy, flavorful with a hint of cherry which helped enhanced the flavor, and cooked to perfection. The two salads was fresh, refreshing, and creative. The Iberian Ham and croquetas looked simple but it was actually delicious and not too salty with the right amount given. The Spanish octopus was delicious but my fiancé and I thought the potatoes could've been replaced with something else as the starchiness hinders the octopus. The branzino dish was delicious, soft, hot, fresh, and crispy. Honestly, would order this again as fish can be a hit or miss, and this was a hit without a doubt. We ended up with two desserts since we actually came here for our anniversary. The sorbet was very refreshing with all the unique citrus flavors. The chocolate cake and fillo dough was very soft and had the great amount of sweetness. Overall, I had a great experience. The foods were delicious and the staffs were knowledgeable, attentive, and kind to every customers.

I have to shout out Adan and Shaye at Blake's Bistro/Starbucks in the San Luis! Adan made my stay…read moreat the hotel wonderful because he went above and beyond to be kind and make sure my food was delivered quickly! All week during my conference, Shaye was working hard at the Starbucks, delivering great service, tasty coffees and navigating a broken expression machine ... and all with a smile! On my last day I got to chat with her more since things calmed down and despite (what looked like), a crazy week, she still had a smile on and was so nice. The whole staff was honestly amazing, Jennifer served my team and I during a VERY busy lunch rush and she navigated a 150+ crowd with ease. Abigail was running food out and had a bubbly personality and Rachel was also hustling hard during the height of a busy crowd! I really appreciated the whole staff here. As far as the food, I got a bagel with cream cheese everyday and it was perfect for a quick bite. My last day I treated myself to an omelette and it was a great finish. For lunch at Blake's I tried the chicken nachos and they were good as well. This place was always packed and the staff was consistently friendly and efficient while I stayed here! The overall vibe was chic and clean. I didn't get to try the buffet while I was here, but I did see several people enjoying it! Thank you!

I had tanked up on the continental breakfast before we go to Blake's so I didn't order anything but the table got junk fries, a waffle and the Nutella Monte Cristo. Everybody even my picky moody teenager loved the junk fries. Tons of flavor packed in and perfectly balanced. Nutella Monte Cristo what a good dish. Don't know what to say other than if you like Nutella you should try it. Waffle... was a good waffle. Coffee mid Service! 5 star. Very accommodating and welcoming. It's a vibe overlooking the pool and out on the ocean. We will be back if for nothing other than the junk fries!

Fortunately, both were on the HH menu for a reduced price. The pomegranate Mojito was tasty light and refreshing. My bartender, JJ, didn't give me silverware or place a bar napkin under my drink, or the lady sitting near me. My food was out in RECORD TIME! I am impressed! The Fondeaux and the Rattlers were excellent. WORD of caution to those who can't handle heat, do not get the Rattlers! The jalapeños are fire! They come with ranch, after trying that I asked for Blue Cheese and that seemed to calm the heat and added an extra something. I can't say what, but it was nice! I enjoyed my visit and I strongly suggest you try HH (Happy Hour) menu items. I recommend this restaurant. The staff were attentive and my food was out before I could finish my beverage. GN3

We pulled up into the MFA parking lot and came across this beautiful truck. Colorful, eccentric, and best of all CLEAN. We walked up and took a look at their menu. Tostadas, burritos, quesadillas, and tacos, and all looking heavenly. They had plenty of meat choices too, such as chicken, beef, and even carnitas! We grabbed an order of their chicken tacos (all entrees served with beans and rice), and we were AMAZED. The food came out quick and perfectly hot. The chicken was flavorful, juicy, and their toppings were so good! Our corn tortillas tasted fresh and the taco just melted in your mouth. Not only was the service quick and the tacos delicious, but the owner was SO incredibly nice. We spoke to him and his mother (who helped run the truck) and we were just in love with their kind, gentle personalities! We are obviously getting them to cater our wedding and do an updated review on their catering services. Since they are a food truck, they're not always in the same location. Just give them a call/text on the YELP phone number provided and they will tell you their location schedule, so you can hunt those tacos down!
