She is not friendly at all. I would not mind waiting if she would say "Hi, be with you in a minute". Sometimes you're just busy. But no acknowledgment at all is unacceptable. I asked for chips and salsa and she literally rolled her eyes at me. If you can get past that, it's worth a stop.

Tex-Mex is a perfect cuisine to me. I am not always craving it, but when I am, nothing hits harder…read more Through my years in college, I discovered Taqueria Jalisco to be the gospel and genuinely the best Tex-Mex in Lubbock by a long shot. My first time I went, my group of guys and I were put in a room with all the other white people. Not to say they were profiling, but looking at the rest of the restaurant's population on a busy Sunday, they had us in the gringo room. The food hit. I get putting a bunch of three-taco-plate-and-queso people in one room. I have not been back in quite a while, but I remember their menu being the most behemoth-looking thing ever. Every item had a picture taken on a Coolpix camera, and the text was almost impossible to read on the menu's busy background. That is proof that the food was going to hit. After returning, the menu has been minimized to be more readable, only slightly keeping that same over-the-top flair. The prices have gone up slightly, but where have they not? On a Thursday night, we were seated immediately around 7:30 and had a pretty attentive waitress. Like every good Tex-Mex joint in Texas, their chips and salsa roam freely through the restaurant, and the salsa has a good kick that is easy to manage while still having the heat everyone wants. They also have a creamy green sauce and other sauces they bring out by request. I ordered a combination plate with a crispy beef taco, a beef burrito, and a chicken enchilada with a side of Mexican rice. I added a side of refried beans because no Tex-Mex meal is complete without a big serving of refried beans to mix with the rice and crush with tortilla chips. The crispy taco was unreal. The shell feels like it was double-fried. It has such an incredible hardness to it. It feels premium. The beef burrito and enchilada were great as well, but I was blown away by the taco to an extreme. They have a pretty broad selection of Mexican beers, including Tecate, Bohemia, Dos Equis Amber, Modelo Negra, and Victoria next to your Coronas, Sol, and Dos Equis. Their margaritas are pretty great, if my memory serves me right, as well. I love this place, and I was glad to give it a revisit while being back in Lubbock for a bit. It is just classic and timeless. I just wish their menu was as much of an eyesore as it used to be because that sucker brought me so much joy. RIYL: Gaining five pounds in an hour. A good meal.

The restaurant is large and has plenty of seating. We were seated quickly on a Friday evening. Like most mexican, tex-mex restaurant, we were given chips and salsa to start. I feel like I'm not usually picky with something so simple. However, the chips didn't seem to have enough flavor. I felt like it could have used more salt. The salsa also tasted a bit off. Specifically, it tasted more sour than I would have liked. I ordered a bistec plate (not sure what it was specifically as I'm writing this a few weeks from my original visit). There was sauteed beef with onions, peppers, mushrooms, and bacon. It was delicious! Everything was flavored nicely. Went great inside the warm flour tortillas that were provided. The sides of mexican rice and pinto beans were good as well. Aside from the food, the service was great. Attentive and kind. I still wish I could have paid for this meal, especially now in retrospect. My Lubbock host was too quick and went ahead and paid for the two of us. As we left, there was something wrong with the doors on the way out. I don't remember that being an issue as we came in. One of the sets of doors just seemed to jam. It was probably just me though (it was). Overall, I'd recommend this place! Maybe it was an off day for the chips and salsa. Otherwise, everything was great.

Unfortunately for us, we did not. Our food was brought out one plate at a time and 5 minutes between each serving. By the time the last person received their meal, the first person had already eaten dessert in another city, in a different state, in a different time zone. Oh yeah the food, it was typical Tex-Mex (a common criticism in my reviews). I had the Barbacoa...not bad but there was a lot of connective tissue making it possibly too authentic.

The waitress was absolutely amazing. She answered our questions and even gave suggestions. Rice and Beans: its difficult to find a GOOD place here in Texas with retried beans that don't taste like they're coming from a pre-made can/bag. They had a nice consistency and booming with flavor. The rice was incredible! Most places fail with the rice because they're over salted, mushy, or undercooked. T.J.'s rice was fluffy and nice orange color. Truly authentic Mexicano rice. I had the asada tacos which were really good. The meat wasn't tough to chew. The only thing I didn't like was the fact the tacos weren't individually put on the plate. They laid out four of the double stacked tortillas almost like a deck of cards and poured the meat across. I had to basically prepare the tacos myself. They also had a lot of grilled onions, but next time (if I'm ever in this part of Texas again) I know to ask for easy onion. The only thing they could work on is their tamales. The masa tasted almost sweet, too sweet for a meat filled tamale. Overall: Highly recommend! Service: A+ Food Quality: A Ambiance: A+

Thankfully our local friend provided us with the details for Chuys. The decor on the inside really leans into the 1950s/1960s Americana vibe that's often associated with Lubbock without leaning into kitsch territory. The table we were at took about 5-10 minutes to clear up for us and once we were seated we felt right at home. Food came out hot and exactly as expected. The server also recommended that I HAD to try the local concoction adult beverage that apparently is a staple of this location. It was a nice treat and a quick way to feel at home. Our bill was also not exorbitantly high, which is also something else to note about this place. You'll get your dollar to go far while here.

They can accommodate groups in side rooms which gives your group privacy and space for enjoying your meal. The kitchen and floors looked well kept and clean.
