The moment you walk in, you're greeted with the look and feel of true authenticity. There are two dining areas, and we chose the street-side patio. Here's something I've never seen before: they have a section on the menu specifically labeled "Tex-Mex"! Our waiter, Enrique from Ecuador, was amazing. The chips were fresh, hot, and crispy. They brought out two salsas--one was your classic red, and the other was a warm salsa that was absolutely divine. We finished both! We ordered the Chicken Enchiladas and the Camarones Momia (bacon-wrapped shrimp stuffed with cheese and jalapeños). Hands down, the most flavorful I've ever had. Everything was piping hot and delicious. We ended with a flan for dessert that easily made our Top 5 list. Comfortable, delicious, and amazing. And get this--it's only 1.2 miles from our home. That could be a problem!! Highly recommended!

My torta didn't taste like al pastor it tasted like some other meat and there was so much fat "meat" in it I had to spit so much meat out. The green salsa it came with was good and really spicy.

My green burrito was a spinach wrap filled with grilled chicken, very fresh avocado, and lettuce (I ditched the pico). I enjoyed the flavors in my mouth and the portion was large enough to eat half for lunch and save the rest for another meal. My fiancé got the combo plate as he wanted to try many different things. While he isn't too wordy about his food the VERY CLEAN plate tells me that he enjoyed it. The portion size to price ratio is GREAT! My green burrito was only $5.99 and the combo plate $7.99.

Walking in everything was clean and the set up was nice for a small place. Tuesday is dollar taco day your choice of meat, I ordered birria res, asada and lengua with a side of beans. While waiting they brought out some small tostadas with a side of pickled onions carrots etc. and two hot sauces, everything put together and by themselves were excellent loved the flavors. Waited a bit for our tacos even though we were the first there and a few people showed up after us and got their food before us. Finally after getting our tacos and waiting for them to serve everyone else we finally got to eat, the tacos were small but very flavorful loved the flavor of all the meats as my co worker did also but the corn tortillas the meat was in felt like they forgot about them or waited they were not warm like the meat. The beans were very good but way too runny, but back to the meats my favorite was the lengua some of the best tasting I've had in some time besides my grandmothers I can get that by itself and get my own tortillas and be good amazing taste in the meat choices I do not know about the others but wouldn't mind trying them possibly at another location or maybe this one just to see if it was a fluke visit just an off day. So we got water with our food and the service wasn't really service they took our order at the table and brought our food drink and appetizers with our drink so they only came to the table 3 times, I had to get up and ask for more water once and even after finishing that glass they did not step in and ask if I'd like more they sat there talking to one another. So with all this being said I'd give the meats a 4.5 out of 5 the service a 1.3 out of 5 and the rest of the experience a 2.5 so my over all score of this place just this location like I said I loved the flavor but everything else was poor. They do have other locations. But this location gets 3 stars.

Ennis is far enough from home to warrant dining out, but small towns including Ennis, often close up as early as 8 p.m. We happened upon Bailey's Cafe as a popular option and still open after 8. Bailey's has a terrific menu modestly priced with something for everyone, but my eyes were drawn to the fried catfish. We found ourselves there again the other evening and I ordered catfish again! I asked for lemon, ranch for my okra and some pickled jalapeño to eat with the catfish all over again. This time Bailey's had no pickled jalapeño, but they did offer sliced raw. The catfish was still tender and delicious as before and still AYCE, but it is plenty with two sides from the many they offer. My husband had CFS last time, an enormous thing. This outing he opted for for the fried chicken sandwich with onion rings - an absolutely huge sandwich. I started laughing. It turned out to be the Chicken Fried Chicken Sandwich. He kept it. But it was big! Everything was delicious. Service is polite and friendly with a houseful of locals in to dine. My catfish was $14.99 and I had dessert for $3.50, a personal caramel bundt cake. My husband had pie for $3.50. They have one unisex restroom, clean but tight. There are a few booths and mostly tables and chairs in the Texana decor dining room. It's a private parking lot and easy to get to south of downtown Ennis. I'm sure we'll back! I have posted photos from our previous visit 2 years ago with the existing patio and exterior, the CFS dinner and my catfish, and the dining room.

I do not know what happened this night, but the food was mostly horrible. except the fried catfish, which was amazing. The onion rings, which are normally wonderful, were fried to a crisp and little bitty skinny onions, the turnip greens had so much bacon in it you had to pull the bacon out, because if not, all you tasted was bacon. The fried okra was fried to crisp and terribly chewy. The Cold Slaw was just cabbage and it had virtually no dressing on it. I did not even get a refill on the catfish. I hope this is a one-time event, because if this is the food product, they're gonna turn out, they're gonna be closed in no time. Sorry, but this is the truth !!!
