Randomly stopped at a “Lupe Tortilla” this weekend in Irving. Really nice chips and salsa and gave some warm beans to. I Loved my plate. Wife didn’t like getting charred hot peppers instead of any bell peppers with her fajitas. Really big menu. Very nice inside. Will be back ![[Linked Image]](https://texashuntingforum.com/forum/pics/userpics/2022/05/full-68787-346653-668abb31_b314_4044_bae3_87047aeac5ae.jpeg) Lupe's is a pretty good place, though their tortillas are slightly obnoxious in size.

Our daughter and son in-law were in town and wanted to go to Torchy's Tacos which is one of their favorite places, the wife and I have never been so off we went. It was good but just okay good. I had a Baja Shrimp and the BrushFire (Jamaican Jerk Chicken), the Baja Shrimp was tasty but to much side stuff on it where you could not hardly taste any shrimp. The BrushFire -Jamaican Jerk Chicken how it got the name BrushFire is beyond me for it was not spicy or hot by any means, it was just okay good. When the kiddos come back in town and if they want to go there again I will, otherwise to me it is just okay and will only go there if that is where everyone else wants to. ![[Linked Image]](https://texashuntingforum.com/forum/pics/userpics/2022/05/full-1274-348342-img_3058.jpg)

Probably a small step up from Fuzzy's but that's about all...

You need to get the "Trailer Park Trashy Style". Also, I hope you got the queso...I think their queso and chips rival anyone elses.

If we end up there again I will try the Trailer Park Trashy Style and the Green Chile Pork which was what I was originally going to get instead of the BrushFire./Jamaican Jerk Chicken.

I had Torchy's a few times in Houston. To me they were just OK, and pricey. Lots of hole in the wall's and food trucks with better tacos.

The trashy taco won’t make it any better the chips and queso was the only good thing there. Close 2nd to the pork burrito. they’ve loaded mine up a few times. Fuzzys has gone way down into the dumps but they can make a real good tempura fish taco.

My favorite is Juanitos or Benitos on Hemphill, but there are several on the west side as well now. Taqueria Cuauhtemoc, taqueria Y caneceria Dos Mermanos. In arlington I like Taco's Moreno and taqueria Maria Bonita. This pic is from Juanitos... ![[Linked Image]](https://texashuntingforum.com/forum/pics/userpics/2022/05/full-8796-348499-tacos.jpg)

The green chile chicken enchilada casserole plate at the Backdoor Cafe in Roosevelt was excellent today. 10 bucks and change, including a drink.

It's part of the feed store that Lyssy&Eckels bought. I shudder to say it, but it's the next Luckenbach.

I tore up some more Mexican food today. Little trailer down the road here called Taquitos El Guerro, eat their food all the time. Their barbacoa and al pastor is damn good. Consistently excellent tacos, tortas, gorditas, sopes, and salsa. By far better than any chain I've ever been to. They're a little hard to communicate with, but that's how you know the food's gonna be good.

Went to Ole's in Coppell last night to celebrate my brothers birthday, we have been there a couple of times before and have always enjoyed it. At the bar my future nephew and buddy gave me a stuffed Jalapeno, it was very good so I ordered it for my main meal, there were 5 of them. Wife had cheese enchiladas and gave me a bite, I am not a big fan of cheese enchiladas but here were very good. ![[Linked Image]](https://texashuntingforum.com/forum/pics/userpics/2022/05/full-1274-348864-img_3081.jpg) ![[Linked Image]](https://texashuntingforum.com/forum/pics/userpics/2022/05/full-1274-348866-img_3089.jpg) ![[Linked Image]](https://texashuntingforum.com/forum/pics/userpics/2022/05/full-1274-348867-img_3103.jpg) The singer they had played all kinds of music from Johnny Cash, Stevie Ray to Creedence and was actually pretty darn good!

Wife was going to cook me breakfast tacos this morning, I forgot to pull the spicy sausage out of the freezer. Went to plan B and found a good cheap Mexican restaurant on Spring Valley just west of Coit rd. Folks it was good! Chorizo and scrambled eggs, the rice & beans were fantastic for only $7.99, the only thing I forgot to get was a Jalapeno  https://www.lnptortillerias.com/ ![[Linked Image]](https://texashuntingforum.com/forum/pics/userpics/2022/06/full-1274-351759-img_3241.jpg) ![[Linked Image]](https://texashuntingforum.com/forum/pics/userpics/2022/06/full-1274-351764-img_3248.jpg)

The wife and I and our neighbors went to Uncle Julio's off of Keller Springs & the N Dallas Toll road.
What was good was the Guacamole and their hot sauce, what was not good was the Beef Enchilada plate that I got.
Wife and neighbor did a 2 person Fajita combo, the wife said the Fajita's were just okay.
So thumbs down on Uncle Julio.
