    Brisket, coleslaw, onions, okra.
    William B.

    The service was really good with frequent checks to refill iced tea and check on the food, as well as petition for extra items to be ordered, particularly dessert. The barbecue sauce was just kind of " meh"but the beef was tender and well cooked. Being located next to the highway and apparently very popular, it was nice to see if some spacing between the tables so that it didn't appear supercrowded in terms of the ambience. The cleanliness of the eating environment was spotless even though the place was crowded.

    Grilled Salmon with Baked Potato
    Kimberly B.

    We were a family of twenty people. I liked that as the food was ready they brought it to the table. I ordered the Grilled Salmon and was pleasantly surprised. The flavor was very delicious and the baked potato was perfect. We went on Mother's Day after church so it was very busy, but still a nice and enjoyable atmosphere. *The Fried Green Tomatoes and Stuffed Jalapeños... delicious!

    Brisket queso

    Brisket queso is awesome. After tasting the brisket in the Queso I think I'll have brisket the next time. Had the strip steak. Cooked just right. Also side salad was cold and crisp. Bacon wrapped shrimp topped it off. The best part was the service. Siannah was great. Never let my tea glass get low. The only thing that was not perfect was the onion rings. Too much breading making them tough to eat. Will definitely go back. We live on a ranch one hour north of.

    Pork Ribs Sliced Brisket

    Food was 2/10 did not like anything, ribs was dry, brisket had no flavor and fries, onion ring, okra was not warm and the sausage was good. onion ring was hard, bread was not warm. People and staff 10/10, love the environment, friendless of the workers and my severe.

    The Armadillo Eggs
    Hokkina H.

    The Armadillo Eggs were pretty good, but the brisket was tough and dry. However, it could have just been an off day, but we split a plate and did not even finish the brisket because of it was so dry. The atmosphere and service are excellent, so I would definitely be willing to give this place another chance.

I gave it three stars due to location. The up front service was polite and friendly. Lots of good people smiles and attentive. Our waitress was pleasant and gave suggestions along the way. I was expecting a fabulous 5 star food experience. I was so disappointed. The food was a great disappointment, no flavor. The plating was a mess and not appealing at all. We had a party of four and only one person was pleased with their dinner. This was the Beet Salad. Sloppy plating, only about four beet slices, covered in micro greens, freeze dried chickpeas, and vinegar. The vinegar dressing overpowered the salad and it needed salt. For $15, I was so disappointed Soba Noodles was poorly plated. Down right ugly and unappealing. The person who ordered it, said it was plain. No taste and extremely vinegary. Such a disappointment. Broiled Salmon was plated just ok. The salmon was cooked well and had good simple flavor. I enjoyed it. The side was supposed to be butternut squash and broccolini. I got four butternut squash cubes and 1 tiny broccolini. The purée on the bottom was a vinegar butternut squash- very sour and not enjoyable. It did add to the dish at all. In between the butternut squash and broccolini, there was about 13 soggy croutons that made the sides look filled in but left the palate wanting more. I so dislike soggy bread, no matter what format it comes in. The whole plate was covered in micro-greens, as to hide the plating and make it look bigger than what it is. The New York strip was cooked to perfection and the polenta was tasty. However that whole plate was $55. Plated well and had really good flavor. This party member was the only one that enjoyed his food and experience. Out of the four of us, only one left satisfied with his meal. And that was the New York strip steak. The rest of us left hungry and unsatisfied with our dinners. We were hoping that our very souls would have been touched by the food of this particular Chef . We had heard so many great things about it, only to be incredibly disappointed. I will say that this restaurant is the most expensive, fanciest , nicest, AND CLEANEST restaurant in Mineral Wells. But the food is lacking. I'm sorry.

She brought us waters and ran off. Not a problem in my book. I get it! She was super busy and needed extra time. However, upon her return, she apologized again. Told us that the chef's specials for the day were out. Not a problem if it was late in the day. However it was 12 o'clock in the afternoon. Ok, she made recommendations and my husband and I took her recommendations and ordered a brisket plate and a two meat plate. Hubby ordered a salad as one of his sides. Roughly five minutes later another young lady presented the salad. However, I had to stop my husband from eating it because there was mold on the tomato. Now this questioned the rest of the meal and the freshness of the food. Our waitress came to check on us about 10 mins later to tell me they didn't have any loaded baked potatoes left. REALLY!?! This is a steak/bbq place and they don't have potatoes left AND it is only 12:45 on a Sunday. We thanked the young lady for her hospitality but left the restaurant. Apparently they were out of food and serving whatever rotten food they could come up with. Sorry, but I don't recommend.

The food was good, the brisket had a nice smoky flavor not a lot of seasoning, but the smoky flavor brought out the flavor of the meat.

The margarita was tasty, but didn't seem to have much tequila. Would definitely eat here again.

Taqueria La Estrella has a high ranking, so we came in with high hopes. It's got that typical small town Texas restaurant vibe, and the chips and salsa were great, and you even get your own little personal salsa bowl, which was a nice touch. The margaritas (giant glasses) were also solid. Unfortunately, after that, everything was downhill. The queso was gloop with ground beef mush served on top. The lime chicken cilantro wasn't bad, but it was just very uninspired. We appreciated that there were cooked zucchini and squash on the side, but the chicken itself was really dry and we did not see any cilantro to speak of! The El Tejano was a combo plate that did not showcase much: the hard taco was basically just more slop in a shell and the enchilada was just covered in the queso goop and nothing else. Beans and rice were whatevs. Our daughter's cheese quesadilla kid's plate was as you would expect given the above. Our server was a nice kid, but it was clear that he was new because he didn't really seem like he knew the menu. But he was attentive enough. Anyway, we weren't expecting fireworks in Mineral Well, so this place pretty much lived up to expectations. Three stars.

I'd heard so many good things about it... and read many positive reviews. We drive past it on a regular basis and kept saying we needed to go soon. Finally on Valentines Day, I took my dear spousal unit out to dinner and that was where we went. Parking is great. We both have a few minor mobility issues but were able to park right out front. We walked into a tiny, intimate eatery with a definite Tex-Mex vibe. I didn't count the tables but I don't think there were more than a dozen, only two occupied. We were seated and given menus along with time to peruse them. The woman who waited on our table was busy but still gave us excellent service. I ordered fajitas; my husband chose barbacoa. While we waited, we munched on standard chips and salsa. The plates came out hot and steaming, and smelling good. My fajitas were served on a traditional small iron skillet and looked delicious. The taste was pretty good however, the meat -- even the chicken -- was unexpectedly tough. I took most of it home in a box and ended up tossing it in the trash. My husband said the barbacoa was horribly greasy. Again, the taste was okay but the meat swimming in grease was just too much. He said the beans and rice were fine. In addition, we were seated near the bathrooms... and wow, did it ever smell like it! Not what you want to smell when you're eating dinner. Unfortunately, I don't expect we'll be returning to Mi Fiesta. I really wanted to like them but it just didn't happen.
