Fuzzy's is greatness. But I still stand by 1&10 stuffed japs.

Herrerras for a greasy spoon experience. And Banditos for your more upscale one.

Herrerra's is good. Salsa is usually spicy, which is good. Ate at a great hole in the wall place in Austin last weekend. Polvo's. Definitely would head back again.

These two, definitely.

Bandito's is overrated and definitely a UP/HP/SMU thing. No one outside the bubble goes there, IMO.

Galveston.

going down in a couple months and will have to check it out. besides the booze, does anything stand out on the menu?

I always get their spinach enchiladas---the rest of my family get basic food---enchiladas, fajitas, etc. Down the street from The Original is Sunflower Bakery and they have great salads, sandwiches, lunch specials and desserts!!! Have fun.

headed to Galveston in a couple of months and will try the original. The taco salad at Mattito's is awesome. Brisquet tacos at Mia's are amazing.

one of the best mexican dirty dishes I have eaten was in Killeen Texas and I swear they microwaved my lunch as I heard a microwave ding go off and then my food was served to me. Maybe it was because I was starving and 24 but I do remember it being very good. Cannot think of the name though.

One more great req is El Ranchito in Oak Cliff on Jefferson. It is very awesome.

nick and sams grill on fairmont also has a really good taco station. If anyone is familiar with the hamburger guy, there are a few guys who used to work at Nick and Sams that started a taco cart for parties like the hamburger guy. They were amazing and super cheap for a party. Name is taco guy. Have a number if anyone is ever interested.

I try to avoid praising 1st and Ten because that happens a lot anyway, but the stuffed jalapenos were outstanding. Some of the best I've ever had. Also, can we really call brisket tacos mexican food? I love'em, but they seem somewhow...out of place.

Even though I referenced a few Mexican style tacos in my original post, it's really all Tex Mex anyway. And beef brisket is about as Texas as it gets.

I know Fort Worthless is usually out of the scope of these lists, but I really like La Familia out that way.

Anyone tried the whole in the wall out that way that claims Roosevelt ate there?
