Taco Garage

Welcome back foodies!

Living in Texas there are Tex-Mex restaurants all over. So many have similar menus and some with amazing histories. Its hard to pick one that showcases something unique in this region. So I decided to pick one that has great food and a fun atmosphere.

This week's pick is Taco Garage!

This Tex-Mex restaurant offers awesome food with a cool garage themed venue. I brought some friends along with us again! Say hello to my cousins, Gabriel and Erin, and our friend, Charlie!

They boys are hungry and have no time for photos.

Taco Garage has a full bar and they make a pretty good margarita. They are good size as well so we didn't mind paying the $8 for them.

Like most Tex-Mex places they do give you complimentary chips and salsa for your meal. My one complaint about this place is the bowl of chips they give you might as well be a considered a single serving. I found that if you ask nicely they will give you a larger bowl.

I definitely recommend ordering the Queso Flameado with your chips and salsa. It's an awesome combination of melted cheese and chorizo. Just eat it quickly before the cheese solidifies and is harder to get!

Our meals were delicious and what you would expect from any Tex-Mex restaurant worth its salt. The rice and beans were cooked perfectly and all the sauces were also prepared well. The verde sauce had a wonderful flavor and was not bitter like some tomatillo sauces can be. I'm also usually not a huge fan of mole, but this is definitely one of the better ones that I have tasted. The flavor wasn't too over-powering and had a nice balance of spices and chocolate.

We had a wonderful time and really enjoyed the laid back atmosphere. I know there are a lot of Mexican restaurants out there and trust me when I say this one is one of the better ones. Go check it out!
