Best of Restaurant Bias: The TexMex List

I'm not a major fan of most "Best of" lists, especially when it comes to restaurants. I am glad life caused me to take my time in making this post. There is a Facebook survey about how Texan a person can be and one question is "Do you have a Great example of Tex Mex cuisine". Recently, I went to a metropolitan city in the state and I can say of all 5 big cities of Texas, one doesn't have a good Tex Mex. I am so glad my palate knows the good stuff when I have it.

Also, we All have an opinion about what a good Tex Mex restaurant is. We, Texans know Taco Bell is not the best representation. But the Best opinion is probably a very arguable cuisine discussion in the state.

Angelina's My best friend, Intellectual Diva must stop here whenever she visits home. Once she invited me to lunch and by golly, I understand why she stops by. The food is delicious.

J. Pepe's It's my favorite. This food is delicious. Wonderful Service!!! They serve large but not giant portions. But it does have one issue. It is a lunch-only spot and it is not available on the weekends. That aside order a Burrito Mateo with J Pepe's perfectly spiced chili con carne. And my favorite soup, Tortilla soup is a cozy treat

Mi Cocina I avoided this place for a while. For years no one ever raved about anything but the drinks. I finally went because of a divorce party and understood the drink fascination. The Mambo Taxi is pretty good. But so are the enchiladas & chimichanga.

There is something about a place you can smell going to another place that makes you interested. My nose & taste buds were totally pleased. And the staff especially the management are very nice.

Vidorra This is an experience in the Deep Ellum neighborhood of Dallas. Never did I ever think would rave about 450° molten cheese & vegetables in a stone bowl called a Molcajete. Nor would I ever feel not guilty for eating churros made into french toast or eating a burrito stuffed with chicken or fajita beef. Never, I say Never! But I am elated I have.

So, do you have a Great example of Tex Mex cuisine? Are they on this list? If they aren't let me know down below. And maybe I'll check to see if you know what you're talking about. Because I'm a Texan and I take my Tex-Mex seriously. And if you read that sentence in a stereotypical accent, You are My Type of People.
