Bigbob do you remember Caro's? They had a location on Camp Bowie and on the Bluebonnet Circle. The one on the Circle was the original. They had puffy tostados and taco shells like that. It was around for long time and is now sadly gone.

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.......



Based off "texaswader" recommendation hammer I took a friend of mine to Ely's today for his birthday, below is both of our take on the food

The hot sauce, chips and corn tortillas were very good, everything else was meh.
My buddy had Chicken Fajitas which he politely said were no bueno, I had the Tipico Deluxe two meat plate with Barbacoa and Chicharron, I have had better at a Taqueria for 1/2 the price.
The waitress who speaks poor English asked if we wanted Flour or Corn tortillas we both said Corn. Had no clue they were going to charge an extra $1.75 each for them.

We met at 11:30 and were the only customers in the restaurant, we left around 12:20 and were still the only ones in the restaurant, cannot imagine why nuts
My buddy got a brand new bad azz BMW so he let me take it for a spin on the fwy, sweet when we got back to Ely's still no customers there.

Moral of the story, don't waste your money at Ely's, I do not mind spending $$ on good food, after tip it was $52.00 for two with no appetizers.

While sitting in there we must have seen 200 -300 Cormorants/water turkeys flying over, there goes a lot of fish

If you ever get over to Wylie, try Mijas Taqueria. Could be the best Barbacoa that I've ever had. and it was the best grilled Jalapenos I've ever had. I'll try to remember to take a pic next time I'm in there.

Paula's aka Estella's on Arkansas lane in Arlington Texas has the best hot sauce and Carne Guisada (sp) you will ever have in your life. Been eating here for over 20 years. Was Casa Ole prior at a different address in Arlington. Went to high school with owners daughter. Food is amazing! Service is hit and miss, but worth it.

I like Tupinamba in Dallas. A family meber opened Tupy's in Frisco and it's the same good food. The Tupy Taco is really good.

Can't taste pics but if you are a Guisada guy, go to Esparanza's FTW on Park Place. Their Guisada is fantastic. Wife gets that, I get the Pork Shank. Both dishes are great.

For you car enthusiast, my friends new BMW is a M8 Competition and it was a blast to drive, I think that I had him scared for a moment while I was driving a little, okay pretty fast in it grin

I think some of you mean salsa when you say hot sauce.

I knew the original owners of Angelina's on West Main in Lewisville when they opened it in the '90's (when I lived and worked in Lewisville). Two brothers started it. They were customers of ours. Doubt it's the same folks.


Pass the gravy.

Keep in mind that 98% of the time my breakfast Monday - Friday is Oatmeal, Cinnamon, Blueberries, 2% milk and OJ. On Saturday's for the most part it is a cheerios knockoff, with Blueberries, Cinnamon, 2% milk and OJ, lately it has been a bout 50/50 with a single Whataburger Sausage, Egg and cheese biscuit sandwich so Sunday is the only day I gorge like that for breakfast.

That is how I keep my svelte figure laugh

Has anyone eaten at that Mexican place that has a small seating area outside that is on 380 just east of hwy 114/101 on the north side? I have stopped there twice and ended up leaving for it seemed to take a long time to get an order in with not a whole lot of people there.

Any suggestions for a good quick taco or burrito on 380 heading west from Decatur is Muy Apreciado!
