Details
This Tex-Mex spot is a go-to for those craving authentic flavors reminiscent of Texas. It's particularly celebrated for its exceptional margaritas, both classic and frozen, and a white queso that many deem the best outside of Houston. While it draws comparisons to Austin's Tex-Mex scene, it holds its own as a top contender in the city.
Food Overview
This restaurant offers Tex-Mex cuisine, with a particular emphasis on its margaritas and queso, which are frequently recommended and highly praised by customers. Some feedback suggests that while the mole may not appeal to those familiar with Western styles, the white queso is considered by many to be the best outside of Houston.
Caveats
One commenter noted that while Javelina's queso is excellent, it may not be exactly the same as a famous Austin restaurant's, as Javelina used to license its recipe from them. Another user mentioned frustration with their delivery zone limitations on Seamless.
