I forgot to mention, El Paseo in Azle has the best chicken flautas that I have ever had by far.

+1 though I usually go to the one on 199.

OH yes! What time is dinner!? LOL Photos and/or recipes please

I can make a meal out of Mercado's ( Tyler) tortillas
and Queso. Their beef Chili Rellano is very good.
When Jalapeno Tree gets it right, their " gulf of Mexico "
platter is great. It is a Quesadilla with shrimp , cheese , BACON, and mushrooms.

If you find your self in " Fresh " go to the back
and order a bbq briskett taco. Pretty darn good.

Mo

Gloria's is considered Latin Cusine but they do have some TexMex dishes. It's very good!

Max's in Tilden Texas is some real authentic mex food. Check it out.

Has anyone tried El Nopal yet on S. Cooper in Arlington? I've heard it's fabulous but I've only had time to get some takeaway chips and hot sauce which was great. IT gets 5 stars on yelp and urban spoon. If no one has tried it, I'll update once we have dinner there soon.

Never mind. El Nopal sucks.

El Asedero in North Fort Worth is the most authentic Mexican tasting I have had without going to Meehicoo, or the Suargras casa, easy on the wallet to.

Try CARNES ASADAS LA CARRETA or PALENQUE GRILL in Laredo Texas...just a pit stop on your way to Falcon Lake. Both are excellent with Mexican Food. At La Carreta try their Nopalera as an appetizer and then some great carne asada. At Palenque grill you will love the Bean and Chorizo and the choriquezo with tortilla chips and then try the Tampiquena (Fajita Steak, Enchilada, quesadilla, guacamole and borracho beans)

El Jardin in Meridian is NOT the best Mexican Food restaurant in Texas.

I went there today for lunch...it was my first visit.

Let me just say, when you walk into a restaurant around 11:45 a.m. and there are 2 tables, out of the approximately 25, with people, it's not a good sign. And when the locals are ordering hamburgers instead of Mexican food, well...

When I entered, I was told to seat myself, which I did, seeing as the wait staff was obviously quite busy.

The chips and salsa arrived and I was disappointed. The chips were stale and bland. The salsa had a slight hint of a decent flavor, but it was primarily just tomatoes. The bowls they served the salsa in were mismatched for the size of chips.

The unsweetened tea, they do not give the option of sweet tea apparently, was only second to Zur Autobahn's for flavor. It was great and I hate unsweetened tea.

I ordered a chile relleno, as those are my favorite things to judge a restaurant by. When it arrived, I was a bit surprised to not see salt and pepper shakers on the table, so I asked for some. They were the old cheap glass ones with stainless steel tops. This would have been fine, except the salt came pouring out...fine with me, but if you have a heart condition, not necessarily a good thing.

The meat stuffing was excellent. The cheese sauce tasted like it came out of a can. The batter was decent, but it honestly tasted like Bisquick. Overall, I'd give it a B, primarily because of the size and amount of beef stuffed inside. The batter would have lowered it to a C, otherwise.

The rice was quite good, although there were no chunks of tomato, or bell pepper, or anything else. This did not, however, detract from the taste. I was happy to see it was not loaded in butter.

The refried beans (you have a choice of refried or Charro), were some of the best I've ever had.

I also ordered a side of guacamole, just to see...yep, tasted like it came out of a can. It was not very good, and rather bland.

All in all, I give it a B- rating. The chips and salsa were lacking, although the salsa had potential. The beans and beef stuffing saved the entree. The unsweetened tea was just awesome, so that was good. The service was okay, but nothing special.

Would I eat there again? Probably, but I would not go out of my way. I would rather go to Tres Hermanos in Whitney. The beans at Tres Hermanos, nor the tea, are as good as they are at El Jardin, but there's more to life then just good beans and tea...and Tres Hermanos delivers on the rest.

MANA's in San Marcos..I haven't been there in some time, but back in the day it was always the best Mexican food around, after a day on the Guadalupe

I remember Mana's from way back.

It is Joe Ts nothing else even close

taco bell?
