When in Texas, I feel like you should eat Tex-Mex at least
once. I did zero culinary research on this, prior to arriving in Texas, so I
simply looked up Tex-Mex restaurants in Dallas and went to one that had “Tex-Mex”
in the name. Just being transparent with my decision-making.
The inside of the place looks like a typical Mexican restaurant,
so know that going in. It does have a pretty solid Mexican menu, however – this
I was impressed with. I know I was supposed to get brisket tacos, which is
about a Tex-Mex as you can actually get, but all I wanted was good Mexican food.
(Let’s be honest – all I REALLY wanted was a big margarita, which I got.)
I wanted to try a couple of things, so I went with one of
the combo platters – the Guadalajara Dinner. It’s got a beef taco, a bean
chalupa (like a tostada), a chili cheese enchilada and a cheese enchilada. The
taco and chalupa were good, but how good can those really be? You can find this
kind of thing at most places. I was happy with these, and not disappointed at
all.
That being said, the two enchiladas were pretty darn
amazing. The cheese enchilada was a great mixture of cheese to form a sauce on
top of the enchilada. The chili cheese enchilada was superb – great smoky
flavor on the chili sauce and the cheddar cheese added a fun punch of flavor.
This made me NOT regret skipping the brisket tacos that I was probably supposed
to get. I really liked these two items a lot!
What I think I’ve discovered is that you can turn Mexican food
into Tex-Mex by adding orange cheese instead of white cheese. Correct me if I’m
wrong.
