Looking to try new Fort Worth tex mex place

[Brog]

Does the buyer have to pay with cash?

He can use their ATM machine inside the bldg.

Man, Caro's was really great. Different taste in a way but kind of like Mama's Pizza .Different but good. Was there a LOT.

I miss Caro’s so damn much.

How is Maria’s on University where the old Hoffbrau used to be?

 

[JugbandFrog]

I’ll have the side order of angioplasty with that, please.

Definitely not for the faint of heart. One can also just get a cfs with gravy on the fries

Any burrito you can eat while driving isn't worth eating.

Tell me you’ve never been to an Allsups without telling me you’ve never been to an Allsups.

Decent. Better than Quince across the street.

Probably to be bought by some venture capitalists from Minnesota or something...

No, but I did spend a few bucks at a surprisingly good Mexican restaurant here in MN last night.

 

[Paul in uhh]

Dos Molina’s is one of my favorites.

I'm more of a Tres Molinas guy. It's next level.

We like Tortilandias on W. Berry Just west of Hemphill. TCU guy owns it. Good basic Tex-Mex.

Dos Juanitos on Hemphill

Sammy Food Store in South Arlington

Los Juanitos in North Richland Hills

Los Albertos in Hurst

Tres Betos in North Side

Birria y Cortez over by Texas Wesleyan

Tacqueria Las Fuentes right by the seminary. So good.

It is my understanding that the original Caro's is in McAllen, and is still in bidness. I am planning on visiting friends down there in a couple of weeks, and shall report my findings...

…those pesky county warrants, again?

Enjoy this beautiful ode to the greatest tragedy that can befall a lover of Mexican food

Gift cards?

I'm sure the overall Tex-Mex restaurant is better than 40 years ago when I lived up North (Indiana and Connecticut). I found a couple of passable Mexican Food places. One in Litchfield continually played Willie Nelson music, so that was there.

Indiana was the worse of the two. By far. A big Cal-Mex place opened up but I didn't care for it. If you ordered a bowl of chili you got a bowl of hot ketchup chuck full 'o Navy beans with some chili powder mixed in. Ugh.

First thing when we got back is stop at the El Chico in Irving close to Irving Mall. Luckily this was before El Chico started to play with their menu. Good that was so go after over five years eating what they had up north.

You must not have been in Minnesota.

 

[froginmn]

You must not have been in Minnesota.

Shockingly, Mexican people move to Minnesota and open restaurants.

I visit Burnsville and Apple Valley in the summer. What’s the restaurant? Any other recommendations?

The citrus in the Valley is ripening. I love me some good, fresh citrus...

Las Enchiladas. Pilot Knob and 183rd (technically in Farmington I think). It's small (about a dozen tables) but good and I like to support family restaurants.

I live in Apple Valley; they can't seem to open a good restaurant with lasting power.

Southern Social in Eagan (new) is very good - a mix of different southern styles; I like their chicken, fried green tomatoes, and beignets.

There's a Baker's Ribs in Eden Prairie; I haven't gone yet because they had a fire that temporarily closed them. If you're in DFW you can find them there, but apparently the guy's brother opened the location here.

Jensen's Breakfast is a can't miss in Burnsville.

More broadly there are three landmarks I would definitely recommend - Matt's Bar for burgers (Jucy Lucy with the cheese inside), Murray's downtown Minneapolis for steaks, and Lord Fletchers on Lake Minnetonka for the vibe.

I haven't been to Taco Bell once since I started going to Taco Casa

Taco Casa is like the In N Out Burger of Mexican Fast Food. Small menu, but high quality and done well. Taco Casa also consistently has amazing employees on the level of In N Out or Chick Fil A too

Never been to a Taco Casa but will check it out. Had no idea it was the high class taco fast food place.
