Customer Reviews
I am always enthusiastic about TexMex! It’s my comfort food and I love supporting local businesses. We started with chips & salsa and cokes. I had the La bodega Special plate and my lunch partner had beef burritos with red sauce on the side. The food tasted great and wasn’t too spicy…in other words just spicy enough for us white people! The ladies that run the restaurant are so nice and treat everyone well. We didn’t have to wait long for our piping hot food, but then again we are old farts and eat lunch/dinner at 3:30 in the afternoon. I’ve had lunch here during the work week, when the restaurant is full, and service was still timely. It’s a comfortable place, casual, and a great place to say Hi to other diners and have some nice conversations.
I ordered the white sauce sour cream chicken enchiladas they tasted like Rosa’s so they weren’t bad i was expecting more authentic beans were good rice too the atmosphere gave Olive Garden vibes with the music and dim lights definitely Tex med over it tasted good and i was impressed i was expecting it to not taste good but it was okay. My friend ordered the flautas they looked like the ones from the box in the frozen isle again still tasted good. Prices were good & service too
Went here for 2 birthday celebrations in 2 weeks- and was delighted to do so. The waitstaff were friendly and accommodating both times, ensuring that both our large group and our small party were cared for. The Chile Rellano is renowned, and was a joy to eat both times.
Hostile environment, rude staff, and shady billing practices. Walked in, ordered a soda — nothing else. Waitress was visibly annoyed I wasn’t ordering a full meal. She added chips and salsa to my bill without asking, then charged me $9.41 for a soda and the “free” chips they give every table. No service. No respect. No accountability. I’ve never been charged for chips and salsa at any restaurant in Texas — until now. This place doesn’t just treat low-spend customers poorly — they punish them. I won’t be back, and I’ll make sure others know what kind of business this is.
The food has plenty of flavor and the portion size is just right! Seems like 6pm is when a lot more people show up for dinner so I recommend going just a little bit before that. Chicken Enchiladas plate on the left & The Mexican Plate Special is on the right. Chips and salsa are provided as soon as you sit down. Music is playing, but not at a loud volume so you can enjoy a conversation and background music at the same time.
