Oh boy — if you’re looking for the best Queso Blanco in the world, this is the place. This is authentic Tex-Mex at its finest. The location is fantastic, right on the water at Hughes Landing, giving you the feeling of relaxing by a lake in the middle of the forest.
The service? Always excellent. Our go-to dishes are the shrimp tacos, the beef and chicken fajitas, and their mouthwatering street tacos. The margaritas are to die for, and their chips and salsa are easily the best we’ve ever had.
If you’re hunting for a great happy hour, you absolutely need to stop by. Chef Arturo Treviño brings the bold flavors of South Texas straight to your table, highlighting local spices in every bite.
