    Chips, salsa and queso
    Ruben C.

    Nice family restaurant attached to a gas station While we decided what order, we got some chips and salsa. Both were pretty good. Salsa was just spicy enough to not burn your ass but keep you wanting more. Chips were fresh and crunchy. Ordered the mojarra frita (fried perch) and man, it was good. Served with crispy fires and salad. Done right. Wife got the sope which was huge and she enjoyed. First impression was great: clean, good service and good food. Want to go back and try the rest of their menu

    Queso

    Normally, I am impressed with the speedy service and kind hospitality that Chapala offers. However, I stopped in today for a quick carne con queso and guac for a snack and received this abomination. Mind you, this had a $5 price tag and was without carne. Highly disappointed.

    Machacado
    Tessa G.

    Delicious food! The service was quick and the food was yummy. It is a casual place next to a gas station. I love the art on the chairs and tables! The machacado was flavorful and soft with a decent amount of meat. I would prefer larger pieces of meat but definitely satisfied my craving for machacado! The Asada taco was very good! The meat was salty and seasoned well and there was a good portion of onion and cilantro. The queso was thick and creamy but needed a bit more flavor. I loved how the corn tortillas on the mini tacos were lightly fried and the al pastor and campechano was very flavorful. The green salsa for the table was creamy, tasty, and lightly spicy.

    Delicious fresh authentic Mexican food! It is tucked away connected to a gas station and definitely a must try. The salsa is spicy and the guacamole is the best I have had in a long time! 10/10 on flavor. Service was excellent as well. Quick place to eat at and will definitely be back!

    Came in by chance. Was at the gas station and saw the cool looking chairs. Decided to come in for some Mexican food and was not disappointed. Quick friendly service. Great tacos and omelet. If I'm ever in the area I'll come back again.

    During my second visit to Taste on Main, I ordered the oysters. I tried one of each variety and…read morethey were all delicious, very hight quality. For my meal I tried the biscuit and gravy which is topped with an egg to add great flavor to the dish. The biscuit was huge, I couldn't finish it all. Even-though they can get busy on the weekends, the service is always good and during this visit, our server was very attentive with frequent drink refills. I love the dining space and bar area with oysters and bottles on display. I highly recommend Taste on Main for their delicious food, competitive pricing and attentive staff.

    Dropped in on a Thursday pm for early dinner so plenty of seating available. Service was quick,…read moreserver very accommodating and the restaurant was clean although we noticed a couple of flies buzzing around. Did not visit the restroom. Ambience was nice with the exception of one toddler on the other side making a little bit too much ruckus. Hopefully a one off. Our food arrived quickly enough. Major Yum yum points across the board for the crawfish dip (super delicious) loaded mashed potatoes (did I mention w Bacon) and the Steak carpaccio. Below par for the Chicken fried steak w potatoes, green beans (flavorless) and I don't know but I expected the Ceviche salmon to be..more. Not entirely a bad experience. I'd be willing to try other items on their menu next time round.

The name of the restaurant should have been self explanatory: Ocean Blue OYSTER bar, but it was anything but. I didn't know how to navigate the menu-- there's Thai food, but also cajun food?? I opted for a little bit of everything: a pound of garlic butter crawfish, papaya salad, and their crawfish étouffée. But... even with a full spread of dishes, not a single thing was good. I love a good leftover, but it wasn't even worth salvaging. WHY: The crawfish had zero flavor. Making crawfish is an art, and the artist here is clearly a novice--you can tell it was rushed. The papaya salad should have been light and refreshing, but boy, the fish sauce overwhelmed every bite. Lastly the étouffée... was far from an actual etoufee. The roux was off, the texture was more like gumbo SOUP, and I barely found any crawfish in it.

The cornmeal batter was crunchy & flavorful but that fish was light, flaky & delicious! I have been craving catfish and this exceeded my expectations! I had a side of corn that was very good. The portions were generous & I ended up taking leftovers home. Yay me! Kudos to our server for working so hard for us as we were a big group of 11 people. This young lady was efficient and attentive. We found it difficult eating because we were catching up after not seeing each other in a while. This is a friendly, rustic, casual vibe & a place you'd expect in Texas. Would love to return here before flying back to CA

    My family and I went to Dos Olivos Market for dinner. My husband made a reservation but we really…read moredidn't need it. We walked in, told the person at the front our name and were seated quickly. The restaurant is nice. It includes a little market in one section with various food items that you can purchase. There is also a seating area with couches near the market section. The restaurant has different sized tables for seating. Not long after being seated we were greeted by a waiter that did an excellent job taking care of us the entire time we were there. He took our drink order, gave us menus and some time to decide what we wanted. After a few minutes he brought us our waters and took our order. We ordered several items. El Olivo which is a garlic bread. It was okay. The bread was good. It was nice and warm and the garlic flavor was all on top. Whipped Feta which comes with grilled Naan and cucumber slices. The Naan was okay. It was a little cold and needed to be warmed up a little more for my liking but my kids ate it up. The cucumbers were fresh and crisp and the whipped feta was pretty good. It had a slight lemon flavor but not enough to where you could taste the lemon with every bite. Pork belly chicharron which had pork with avacado covered in a sauce. It came with tortilla chips. The tortilla chips were thick and crispy. Perfect for scooping up some of the pork belly. The pork belly was delicious. The sauce that covered it added flavor and the avacado was fresh. The Lamb chops came with Lamb, carrots and a puree. The lamb itself was excellent. It was cooked perfectly and was tender with each bite. The carrots were slightly sweet and the puree was soft. It was a good mix of different textures with each bite. The Truffle mac and cheese was a macaroni and cheese with chives and truffle flavor. This was very tasty. The macaroni was tender, the chives were spread out and added that slight onion flavor. The cheese was very flavorful. One of my kids ate almost all of this. Barbacoa Doughnuts which are mini doughnuts filled with barbacoa topped with a salsa. I don't really like barbacoa but I tried them and was pleasantly surprised. These were delicious. It was basically a soft and warm mini doughnut filled with flavorful barbacoa. The sauce on it added a slight spicy flavor. Patatas Bravas are potatoes with salsa and a garlic aioli sauce. These were very tasty. That salsa and aioli sauce are what gave this dish all of its yummy flavor. The potatoes had a crispy exterior with a soft interior. All of the ingredients mixed together made a very good side dish. One of my sons ordered the Dos Olivos Burger with Tater Tots. He said that the burger was okay. I tried it and I agreed. The tater tots were good. He ate those up with some ketchup. My other son ordered the Fried Chicken Sandwiches with everything on the side. He substituted a salad instead of the fries. He ate the salad up. He also ate the Fried chicken from the sandwich. He said it was good. He is not a fan of sesame seed bread so he opted not to eat the bun. I tried the red cabbage apple slaw that it comes with and it was okay. Lastly I ordered the Beet Salad which comes with beets, pears, and candied pecans. I don't usually eat beets but I wanted to try it. It was very good. The beet chunks were large and soft but not overly soft. The pears and the candied pecans added a crispier texture and the mixture of all of the ingredients along with the sauce that was on it made this a super sweet beet salad. Almost like a dessert. It was delicious. Overall the restaurant is a cool spot to visit. The market is a neat addition that adds to the ambiance of the restaurant. The service was excellent and the food was delicious.
