Nothing about this plate resembled a traditional guisado. I only took 3 nibbles out of this plate. The flour tortillas were clearly store-bought and microwaved. Service, El diablo plate and guacamole was the only good outcome. The charro beans were pretty bland and the rice really needed a flavor boost, so I'd suggest the cook tries adding some cumin and sautéed tomatoes along with tomato sauce.

Parking was a bit odd, but it's self-explanatory when you pull up. I was also pleased with the size of the cups they brought out for our sweet tea and water; it ain't a game-changer, but it deserves its praise.

Chips with a tiny bit of cheese. Was suppose to be nachos with beef.

It was so overcooked and burnt, you could taste the oil. BLT I was quite surprised that this was actually decent. They buttered up the toast and plenty of mayo. The lettuce was crispy and refreshing. Bacon was crunchy. How can you mess up a BLT? Burger The Burger was cooked well and was beefy. No complaints Corn dog This the star of the meal. Beware, they charge for water in a styrofoam cup.

Please offer bread to guests with combo meals. Food and cost of living is too high for mediocre service.

Today, we came for breakfast. There appears to be only one wait staff on the floor but she is doing good jobs. Of course, the phone is ringing off the hook at usual. We ordered the The Original Hippo and a Plate of Huevos Ranchero. Come give Nena's a try in Lake Jackson. Happy eating!
