The chips were fresh and salty, the way I like them, and the salsa was mild and tasty. I ordered the chicken fajitas and my wife ordered the veggie burrito. Neither one of our dishes disappointed. The fajitas were cooked fresh and served hot with soft shell tortillas. Plenty of chicken, beans, rice, and vegetables to stuff the tortillas. I even ordered more tortillas. The veggie burrito was huge and my wife brought the other half home and had it for lunch the next day. The prices were more than reasonable and the service was excellent and friendly. There is a public parking lot next door and across the street. It was a very pleasant experience and look forward to going again.

Luckily Freppe's makes it fun by serving up the margarita mix if you bring along the tequila. Done! Freppe's ended up being the perfect spot for a little lunch, and not just the DIY margaritas. We had perfect weather so sat outside on their patio, had a really lovely waitress taking our orders, and served up some pretty delicious food. I got the mahi mahi tacos and they were pretty great. Lots of fish and the verde salsa had so much flavor. I think the fish was just a bit overcooked, so I will probably try something else on my next visit, but still loved my meal. We got some churros for dessert and oooooh man they were good. Piping hot and filled with a caramel or dulce de leche sauce that was so tasty. Perfect cap to to a great meal. We'll be back! Some tips: They have a big parking lot in the back, and I will say it again, BYOB and have them turn it into margs for the table.

I ordered Dos Equis lager and the Jose's special pulled beef enchiladas with a side of Jose's rice and black beans The enchiladas were on point and were a flavor explosion in my mouth. I liked the Jose's rice The black beans needed something to elevate the flavors so I mixed them with the rice and it was a great combination. Serving size is good and great for the price. The service was good as the staff was very polite and the food was out very quick.

Parking: Plenty of parking available…read more Service: There was about a 20 minute wait when we went at 6:30pm on a Saturday. My husband put our name in for a party of four and gave his phone number for the text notification but the hostess accidentally entered us as a party of two. Thankfully, the table that was ready was large enough for four but it could have caused an issue. As a note, she remembered and realized she mistyped it and apologized immediately. Our waiter was friendly, though the service had a few hiccups. My chicken quesadilla (which I ordered as my entrée) came out well before everyone else's meals. When boxing leftovers, he asked whether I wanted the sides, sour cream, and salsa included. I said no, but when I opened the container the next day, everything had been packed together anyway. Food: The chicken quesadilla was delicious and generously filled with shredded chicken. Drinks: The frozen strawberry margarita was excellent. It was filled to the brim and stronger than what you typically get at a restaurant. Overall, I'm chalking the service issues up to it being a busy Saturday night. We'd still happily return to Jose Tejas whenever we're in the area.

Went there for a late lunch as it has been three years since our last visit and truthfully will…read morebe our last. When we say the table even though was wiped down was sticky and damp. The food is the reason I'm writing this review. Ordered the Cajun popcorn shrimp for appetizer and it was beyond salty. The sauce helped but the salt was the extent of the taste. My wife had the fish fajitas and I had the pulled chicken tacos for lunch with fries. The fries were over fried like chips but the pulled chicken tacos was downright not right there was a chicken pot outlets chicken with a taste to the chicken. I had one bite put it down and pushed the plate away. I was done. My wife ate some of her fajita with her comment being that it's was really spicy. I asked for the check. The waiter asked us for boxes. Seeing that we didn't eat the food we said we weren't taking anything. I told him to have someone check the chicken as it's not right and he said he would let them know. He came back with the check I paid the full check and again mentioned to the waiter that someone should really look into the chicken as someone will get sick and we left. My wife was upset as she was upset I paid the sill receipt but my point is the following. Reputable locations who take their businesses serious pay attention and monitor their patrons. Ultimately without them they don't have a business. Your representative taking care of us saw we barely touched the food if at all. This is not normal at an eating establishment and your only concern was that we didn't want to take the food home. Following my warning on the food there was no concern just collect your check and rip. Enjoy the hundred bucks we will never be back. Left a star as I couldn't post with none.

I visited La Colina last year for an event and I really enjoyed the food. I remembered they had…read moremuch of their menu marked as gluten-free, which was fabulous. I decided to return here for lunch on my fiancés birthday. I was disappointed to see they appeared to have removed majority of their gf tags. I decided to order a veggie fajita, and it was super tasty. They did have tortillas wrapped in foil on the side, so I gave them to my fiancé to eat instead. The food was flavorful and presented in an eye-catching way, so we both appreciated that. I am cursed when it comes to getting any frozen drinks, so naturally, no frozen margaritas for us because the machine wasn't working. We did enjoy our traditional margs and once again, loved how their presentation looked. I do hope they return to offering more gluten-free items like they had before, I would certainly return more often if they did.

We met up at River and Rail Cantina on Friday night with friends. It was a birthday dinner and we…read morewere seated at one of the outside tables with the umbrellas. Our waiter brought out drinks and chips with salsa. We skipped appetizers, and just got entrees. That night, I went with the Tacos de la Calle (Classic Street Tacos plate), which comes with 3 tacos, Mexican rice and beans (black or pinto), and all the usual fixings. I got the Combination so I could pick different ones. I got: -- Shrimp on a soft flour tortilla - shrimp comes with sliced avocado and jicama. This was my favorite one. -- Chicken on a soft corn tortilla - chicken comes with cotija cheese, red onion, and cilantro. 2nd favorite. -- Chorizo on crunchy corn tortilla - spicy sausage comes with red onion and cilantro. I realized next time Ill leave the crunchy corn tortilla for Taco Bell. It's not bad, but the fillings are so good - I'd have preferred a soft tortilla or even the lettuce wrap. Our waiter was nice. She looked out for us during our meal, checking in to see if we needed anything. Also, they brought out a surprise churro dessert for our birthday celebrant and the table to share... Friday night we had a great time at River and Rail Cantina.

it was SOOOOOOOOO hot in there. when I called to inquire about the vibes for the World Cup, they…read moresaid yes for sure they'll be playing the games but they're really weren't because the music was so loud. They weren't playing the game on all the screens and above everything else it was way too hot in there!!!! the AC must've been off or damaged because everybody was sweating and it was intolerable how hot it was! And then the food came out really really fast which makes me believe that. Maybe it was just sitting there because there's no way that I ordered shrimp and then literally 2 1/2 minutes later it came out. The other thing was I ordered enchiladas bandejas and it was out under five minutes!! Makes me cautious for next time. But even if the food was good, I wouldn't go back because it was just too darn hot!
