I think I may have to stop there sometime and give a report.

I remember back in the early 90's it was called I think the country inn restaurant and it was a family owned place, very good food. Then in the last 5 years here is what I remember- Matisse, el callejon, martha's, and now majadera. I may be missing something.

I am currently parked outside of the new "El Bucanero" on Blanco Road & I am happy to report that it opens every morning at 11 AM & is open for feeding us until 10 PM every night except Sunday, when they close an hour earlier :-)

You should go in and report back the taste of the food.

It's 10:52.....I'm sitting in the parking lot goofing around on City-Data, waiting for the obvious.

It was an Italian restaurant between El Callejon and Martha's. I don't remember the name of that incarnation, but I remember someone posted here that they had stopped in there and the place had run out of tomato sauce! I think that version stayed open for less than 2 months.

Bo I now remember, it was a Martha's spinoff that died quickly.

If one has never been to Urban Taco at the Quarry, no worries, go to a taco truck and spend less get more! Probably better service too. Oh and god forbid dont try to order the dessert of churros(3) to go because its forbidden!!!!!! You can only get the six pack to go. And make sure you check your bill! Dotn expect ice because that runs out too. Worst experience ever. Dropped 40 for 3 teenie tiny tacos w/ teeny tiny side of rice, a beer and michilada. I take meds that supress my appetite so when i say teenie tiny i mean it. bar tender didnt know squat about michiladas. I put full report on Facebook no response, manager even knew were ticked and said nothing
