El Cowboy Taco-ntento

Bryan, we have a new taqueria. Noticed this place today when headed to Shannon’s for lunch. Bummer to see the demise of L&L, especially why it closed, but that’s a review for L&L. So after learning what days of the week are in Spanish as posted on the front door, apparently it was during business hours, but it was locked. So I called the phone number and they said it would be open in a few hours.
So, came back a few hours later and sure enough, it’s a family run taqueria which is exactly like eating in someones house, like in Mexico. They said it’s been open two weeks. There’s no menu yet, they just tell you what they have. Tonight they had beef fajita quesadillas, tacos and barbacoa tacos. So we tried everything.
The food was awesome. The quesadillas were flat grilled with perfect juicy cubes of steak all sealed together with hot melted queso fresco shredded white Mexican cheese. With the tacos we tried both corn and flour tortillas. They were not made there but they said in the future they will be making their own tortillas.
The beef steak fajita tacos came with onions and cilantro with a halved fresh key lime. Salt was on the table in a shaker along with an impressive home made orange sauce made by «The Mom». It was quite hot and the kids told us their Mom was «Mad when she made it and that’s why it’s so hot», hehe. The steak tacos and hot sauce were clearly among the best of the best I have found in Bryan.
Now the BBQ tacos were an amazing feat of succulence. It sounds like they actually pressure steam cooked the beef roast so it was juicy and falling apart and just oh soooo good.
Now for those of you expecting any décor at all, there is none. There are two tables and about 8 chairs, nothing matching, and a TV on a Spanish channel. My review is based on the quality of the food and the experience as personally I don’t care about ambiance. Tonight it was about enjoying great home made food and visiting with the family. They appear to have three or four sons who speak English and talking with them made this a really fun experience. Fun nice people, fantastic food for cheap. We will be back for sure.
