The salsa is tasty, but make sure you ask for the green salsa in the squeeze bottle because it absolutely delicious. My frozen margarita didn't come with a lime or straw. It's pretty good though. The service is lacking for us. We needed a little more time to study the menu and asked the waitress for a little more time.... We haven't seen her since. lol Our waitress came back and took our order. The food came out almost immediately. It was piping hot and delicious. I got 4 good sized flautas that were freshly made. I'm a Mexican rice snob ... their rice had the perfect seasoning. I could only eat two of the flautas. They are filled up with delicious chicken. My hubby had the small shrimp cocktail and the chile relleno and was completely satisfied. He ate everything. I had a taste of both and totally agree. The cocktail had numerous large shrimp and the relleno has a cheese fest. Both are worthy of a the price. We had a great experience here. If you're in the area give them a try. They are open til 10:00 pm.

You can always tell you are at the right place when everyone's head is down focusing on their meal. I am not sure anyone noticed we walked in except the lady at the counter, and she let us know we could seat ourselves and someone would be with us shortly. We quickly took our seats. My favorite Mexican dish is cheese enchiladas and that is exactly what we got! We shared them along with the barbacoa. I am not sure which one I liked best, but I really enjoyed sharing them both... so that is what I would suggest. And of course, I had to order one of my very favorite drinks, a strawberry Jarritos! So good! It is not a full meal without a dessert, right? Welp, we ordered the Tres Leches Cake, and it was fabulous. There was not a clean plate left on the table. We even made burritos out of the homemade tortillas, rice and beans. I had to waddle on out of this fine establishment, ha! You can bet I will waddle back in the next time I visit too!

It was very dry so I asked for something to dip it in like their white sauce or something and she brought a cold butter mix of some kind that was also bad and we had to pay extra for that as well.

Never seen that before. Now carnitas are forever ruined because if it doesn't haven't garlic butter sauce to dip in, why bother? lol Shout out to our server, William, too. Outstanding. Sensational. Whatever other adjective to describe the most amazing service that we've had in years. If we ever visit Fredericksburg again, Los Tios is one of the restaurants we want to return to.

There is nothing I enjoy more than wandering into a small town and finding a fantastic restaurant!…read more Trust me, you now have another reason to drive to Johnson City. Yes, they have antique stores, a mortor cycle museum, the annual Rodeo, and LBJ's boyhood home. But they have some very interesting restaurants as well. Let me tell you about Proof of Cooper. My wife and I were on one of my adventures, picking up some items an hour from home. It's hot, late afternoon and we wanted a cocktail and good food. We walked into Proof of Cooper to look at the menu, we were greeted by lovely smells of cooking coming from the kitchen. This was the place for us. We ordered an Old Fashion and a Peach Fashioned. My Old Fashion was perfect! Great balance of whisky and sweetness. My wife really enjoyed her Peach fashioned. The menu has a lot of variety, Texas favorites for sure. It was hard to choose. We were told they did their BBQ out back, this restaurant does not look like your typical BBQ place. The bar is home town but the dining room is Hunting club rustic. To order, I had the smoked turkey club on Texas toast with green beans, my wife had the BBQ sample plate with Mac and cheese & pit master beans. Her meat choices were brisket, pulled pork and spare ribs. My sandwich was great! The bread was toasted just right, the turkey has a nice smoky flavor with ham and bacon. Loved the green beans. Then I stole some of the pit master beans off my wife's plate. Oh some dam good. And so was the Mac and cheese. Brisket and pulled pork were tender, flavorful and just right, on par with some of the best bbq places I have eaten at here in Texas. Spare ribs were too firm for my wife but I enjoyed them. The staff was wonderful. Very helpful, nice and fun to work with. This is a family owned restaurant and the staff that we met were all born and raised here. We look forward to coming back to Johnson City and visiting Proof of Cooper again. If just to try the delicious looking desserts we had no room for, see our photos.

Let me first say I wish this establishment well, and hope they have success in their endeavors…read more I was in centex to visit daughter, and suggested a bbq tour of the small towns west of Aus. We arrived at P&C mid afternoon on a Monday. We were touring this and other towns, so only ordered the pulled pork sandwich, side of mac n cheese and side of mashed potatoes w gravy between the two of us. And some extra bbq sauce on the side. The pulled pork sandw comes premade with what looks to be homemade pickles, smoked pulled pork, coleslaw, & bbq sauce. The presentation is fairly impressive. Unfortunately, the taste did not measure up. We had bites of the sandwich as a whole, and also tasted the individual ingred by themself to get a feel for what contributed to the overall. The pulled pork was hit/miss. Some of it was generously smoked & that smokiness came through. Other bites of it the smoked flavor was not prominent. Mac n Cheese - solid. By far the best thing we tried. Super cheesy, flavorful. Nice work! Coleslaw - substandard. I'd say the C range. Pickles on the sandwich - they were thicker and appeared homemade. They didn't seem like they had been left to sit long enough on the shelf for the pickling to soak in. In appearance they were still very close to cucumbers instead of pickled cucumbers. Flavor wise they didn't taste like cukes, but nor did they add a dill-ish or sweet pickle flavor of substance. (Can see the pickles in attached pic, can see the color and texture doesn't look significantly pickled.) Sauce - extremely little flavor. The consistency was not watery, but you had to close your eyes and concentrate to taste what little flavor there was - as though it was watered down immensely. Sauce gets a D. Mashed potatoes & gravy. They served the gravy on the side. The potatoes themselves were good - a little buttery and therefore enjoyable. The consistency of the gravy was mealy - was unexpected, and odd. Lacked the common flavor of a hearty gravy begun with a roux of flour and meat drippings. (Zoom in on attached photo, you can see the mealy and almost-grainy texture of the gravy.) Overall we weren't impressed. The mac n cheese being the best thing is not what you expect at a bbq place. Like I said, we wish the establishment well. But we wouldn't come back when in Johnson City. Final note, the hostess/server was genuinely warm and friendly. She was wearing multiple hats, running around, but was pleasant and engaging.
