OMG Cathy! You're going to Texas and the FIRST thing you're going to do is eat??
What about going to the greatest grocer ever?
(Okay I had to throw that in)
Speaking of restaurants, we went to Casa Suenos yesterday. Charlie liked it alot. We both had the buffet and I don't do well with buffets but I ate it anyway but next time we go, I'll get something else from the menu.
Loved the atmosphere and decor.
Well, considering that the nearest HEB is 195 miles away in Midland, that's sort of out of the way, LOL!! I'll be in Ft Davis!
I pass on their buffet, too, and get something from the menu. The buffet tends to sit there too long, and looks dried-out. I've liked everything I've had so far. They did bring me a plate of nachos, which I ordered from the appetizer menu, thinking I wouldn't get so much food. It was STILL a pile, and I took a doggie bag home.
The nachos had mild green chile instead of hot jals, so it was bland........but tasted good otherwise.
The thing that drives me crazy about the restaurants around here is the great variability. The same restaurant can be great one day, and barely fit to eat the next time!

Well I don't know if ya'll are joking about HEB but, I was doing really good about missing Texas until HEB came into the subject. I really miss that place, their meat was always good, the veggies were fresh and it wasn't as expensive there as it is here. My Mom always brings me tortillas and fajitas when they come so I can freeze them. When I went to the store here and asked for fajitas they looked at me like I was from outer space.
Cathy I am so jealous some real Mexican food that you don't have to cook.
We try not to eat out here very often, it seems like everytime we eat out my 8 yr old ends up sick. So needless to say I do alot of cooking.

I hear that. I miss HEB too, so while it is a running joke between Song and me, we really do miss it, too! They had been doing feasibility studies of one in El Paso, but I guess they ended up nixing the idea.
Like you, I do a lot of cooking, too, far more than I ever did in Midland.
Have you tried asking for "skirt steak" here? I was shocked to find cabrito at Lowe's....and front/mid/hindquarters, too, take your pick. The cashier (Hispanic, mid-20s or so) asked me how to cook it......
I got 3 packages ($$$$$) at that time, but I haven't seen it for several months since.
So, nearly everything is available to make your own, so it could be worse.
When I go visit Sis, I'm hitting Central Market in Austin!
Yes, it's a great store. I first experienced it in San Antonio (the one in TX!). A few years later, Ft Worth got its own Central Market.
I didn't know that FW had a Central Market!!! Oooh...I'm SO jealous.
