So thumbs down on Uncle Julio.


We go to Uncle Julio’s in Presidio about once a month, fajitas are good. I like the warm salsa.


Some how I got a feeling that the people working down at the Presidio location are held to a higher standard and have a little more experience cooking good Mexican food than the ones in Dallas.

Bob they were just ground up hamburger meat & cheese with hardly any flavor!

I would have taken a picture but my wife would have gone Lorena Bobbitt on me since we were with the neighbors and their daughter.

You’re lucky your car didn’t get broken into. Unc Julio on tollway is hotspot for car breakins.

Man, how times have changed. Wife and I used to go to that location in late 90s and share a fajita Surf and Turf, lobster tail for $50 or so and it was really good. Never heard of any auto break ins then either.

I avoid chain restaurants totally. the food usually sucks and there are so many options for mom and pops I see no need. Mexican food is a classic example. Take Paula's in Arlington. It's a hole in the wall that most people would cruise on by but has some of the best food around.

Lupe's is a pretty good place, though their tortillas are slightly obnoxious in size.

The wife and I went yesterday. Food and service very good. Good margarita's too! Will be going back.

Was flip flopping between eating CFS & eggs at Starwood Cafe or having a Mexican breakfast?
Decided on Mexican, would have like to gone to the Mexican restaurant that is not to far from the house for they have good food at a very reasonable price but nobody speaks a lick of English and it is hit or miss if I get what I ordered, so I decided on Elena's off of Valwood Pkwy in Farmers Branch, I had eaten there a couple of times a long time ago and it was pretty good.

Not this time, I ordered my usual Migas with Chorizo added to it. Basically it was all chips and very little egg that was bland, the beans and potato's were meh also.

Stub, I'll have to put that one on the no go list. It doesn't look good at all.

El Tropico in Natalia was a huge plus. Durn sure nothing fancy and yes, it is in Natalia. People from Devine probably afraid to go there. We told people at a funeral in Pearsall that we had stopped there and they thought we were wanting to add to the number being viewed.

Miss that place. Best tacos in Rockport, hands down. Try a chorizo/potato!

I drive by the Hickory Creek location, laugh at the crowd, and head to Ely's off of the service road for a wonderful meal. Usually the only person in the restaurant.

Don't go, it usually sucks. The service is normally decent except for one girl who would rather not be there. The same people own the one in Hickory Creek. They used to be near NCTC and the food and service were above average. The Lewisville location is less than a mile from my house and we would drive to Hickory Creek.
They built their own building on Turbeville Rd and the food and service both tanked. Apparently quite a few folks enjoy the rooftop bar.

amazed that place is still open.....I gave it a second chance...never again.......

I eat them regularly (papas con chorizo). up Their barbacoa is the best in town too. Today, it was carne asada. Love their red sauce.

For breakfast the chilaquilles at Los Cabos in Kingsville is pretty awesome if you're down that way

Always wondered about them, how would you compare/contrast to Rosa's?

I won’t argue that Rosas is very hard to beat on a Tuesday. But this place is on the higher end $ side of Mexican food and much more “home made” tasting than rosas. Almost apples to oranges.

I always get the puffy tacos at Lupe's. They put guac in the bottom of the taco, which is a tasty touch.

That taco shell sure looks good and a little different. I'll have to give Lupe's a try someday.
