So this restaurant really was a rollercoaster. Having just moved here from El Paso we didn't have…read morehigh hopes for good Mexican style food but this place had a lot of recommendations. They started off strong with their outstanding appetizer sampler and pretty good chips. The sampler had some of the best tasting Mexican American food I've ever had and it really set expectations high for the main meal. Here is where the problem lies. How do you make all this great food and then have bland rice and beans? When I took a bite of their signature burrito I was hit with a salt bomb bite of chicken. Service was 5 stars but the place needs a bit of a once over for cleaning. We will go back and give it another shot

I ordered the birria tacos and a margarita flight. They were both pretty good, but I was especially surprised by the weird margarita flavors they had. The cheese in the birria tacos was also a pleasant surprise, though I the consummé to be kind of watery and flavorless. The salsa also did not seem to be homemade, too strong of a tomato taste and not enough spice for my tastes. Service was great, specifically because I was able to get my hands on habanero salsa thanks to the waiter. Rice was awesome.

As they don't seem to have the same quality available anymore. The Sizzle, no more! The Delicioso, has gone! Surprisingly the food has changed, it looked as if it had come out of cans tonight, nothing like before! The one guacamole actually may have, as it was rather odd in color and consistency. Not the super creamy guacamole they used to serve. The tamales actually looked like supermarket tamales, served with a piece of processed cheese just thrown on top, and microwaved a long while. No New Creations on the menu this time. The enthusiasm is no longer there. I would suppose all in preparation of closing the doors unfortunately. -Still, the atmosphere of the restaurant itself is cozy. It's a well decorated building. Maybe something nice will come in there next. Another restaurant, a sports bar, a gallery, something. Tonight we spoke with the managment about our disappointments. They seemed to be very understanding, We appreciated that, as we have had many nice meals, good times, and a many celebrations there! ~Well, it was a good run, Just not tonight. ~Best Luck to them each in the future~

Thus is suppose to be steak a la mexicana!!! $17 of disappointment.

Absolutely delicious taco truck!…read more Gringo Biscuit offers Brisket, and Chicken Chorizo tacos. Both tacos come with their signature sauces, and are approximately $3 a pop. I'm normally not of a fan of the "Tex-Max" styled tacos, but these tacos are absolutely amazing. I highly recommend the Chorizo tacos. They're good sized tacos, and the sauce for the Chorizo tacos is absolutely one to try. Follow "The Gringo Biscuit" on Facebook and/or Instagram to see their schedule. They normally come 2-3 times a week in Leeseville and park at the "Southgate Plaza" parking lot. Next to Dominos Pizza. Give them a try!

Mouth watering never frozen beef that is well seasoned and hand cut fries that don't suck Front desk and cook ( owners?) were super nice to us since it was our first time and it can be a little overwhelming. Checked on us after we had our meals as well. The whole place looks a little rough from the outside but the inside is a beautiful place to eat. Dark green tile, big windows and an open iron joist ceiling. Very classic and very cool. Originally we were told it was all too greasy for most people but we 100% disagree. Far less greasy than 5 guys, tastes just as good if not better and is 40% cheaper. We will make this place a regular dining out spot.

Chili's is the best second choice restraint ever, across the country!…read more With pretty good food! If not better than many! They serve up some new items, and many reinvented items! But with Chili's you still know what to expect! It works, and you're glad to have one in your community because you can always count on them to come through especially when guests arrive. They continue to have consistent service. A good team! The sitting is comfortable. Lighting is dim, not to bright! They have music on the screen, especially in the bar area! It's always entertaining. Sometimes at Chili's you actually get a great meal!!! Always hopeful! Like Wednesday, we went after work and had a mushroom burgers, and they were actually delicious! The pasta dish is usually good too. Like the the Mac & Cheese on the Kid menus, it is perfect! Though it's a Kraft like Mac, it's reliable, and the kids like it and it comes with twos sides, and served with a slush type of drink. - Chili's is most appreciated. -

I am not in the military since being a no limit soldier back in the 90s doesn't count, but yet, I found myself here. This is a order at the counter, they make your plate, you pay, sit, and eat. Easy peasy. I opted for their two meat plate with brisket, sausage, mac n cheese, and green beans. Was this the best bbq I have ever had? No. Was this the worst bbq I ever had? Absolutely not.
