the labor day weekend is here! with some extratimewe stopped at mena’s for lunch.
om: i have only been here once a few years ago and remember it being very good. the restaurant was not very busy around 11:15am on a friday, so we got seated immediately and received our chips. they were just fine, i’ve had a few better, also have had worse. salsa a bit too hot for me, but the queso was really good and hit the spot, highly recommend. i ordered two enchilada’s, a beef taco, and rice & beans. our order came out in very short time, in less than five minutes! all the food was fantastic. the beef taco was crammed with ground beef, no skimping on the meat here! the enchiladas were also great – one chicken one cheese. the cheese enchilada had a good rich taste, and the sour cream chicken enchilada might be one of the best that i’ve had! we topped things off with a sopapilla. wow, it was huge! and they put some kind of cool whip on the side with a drizzle of chocolate! outstanding combination! never had it like that before at any other restaurant. the service was good, the food quality was great, but we did pay a bit of a premium for two people – around $27. still, this is surely one of the best tex-mex restaurants that i’ve been too.
nom: this restaurant is so close to work i’m surprised i’ve never been there so this is a welcome close to work tex mex gem! we got there early and they were not busy yet so that was wonderful! we could take ourtimeand investigate their huge menu! my handsome love is right, the chips are fine but the queso is wonderful. wonderful blend of cheese and salsa. highly recommend you try a cup given the chance! i ordered from the kids menu and i had the chicken flautas with rice and beans! what delicious flautas! they are crispy, well-seasoned and stuffed full of white meat chicken! wow!!! and i have to rave about their mexican rice. amazing…sooooo good! i don’t know what they did to create this magical rice but i could eat a bowl of rice by itself. we wrapped up our meal with a sopapilla. this thing was huge, literally the biggest sopapilla i’ve ever seen. and fried to perfection and served with a large swipe of whipped cream with chocolate syrup! ok, so pricy but worth it because the food is awesome!!! i can’t wait to try it again with my handsome love!!!
