Great meal and trivia time at Plucker's last night- our family team walked away with $75 in gift cards! The Vampire killer free 5 wings I got from going to the Miss St game were a bit on the too spicy side for me so I'll likely go back down a notch to the parm garlic or some other 2 chili sauce.

Service was very good this time, we have had service problems with them in the past with bringing dessert out before the meal, cold wings, getting side dishes wrong, etc.

I think they have the best shrimp cocktail in town too


God how I miss Rudy's Mexican shrimp cocktail at El Vale. Had something similar on Padre and it brought back those happy memories.

Rudy is still doing his thing. You have to contact him on Facebook.

Finally tried the 1802 Burger at Stella. (I've been mourning, don't judge me) It was absolutely perfect. And the fries mmmmmmmmm

Will definitely be back to Mojo Tortillas. Want to try it all. Started with #5 The Dirty South and a Puffy Taco Arrachera.

Both great and filling. Steak was Char-delicious. A few before and after photos below…

Best wing place in town…I like the Vampire Killer wings, but I like spice.

Right now we just have green but we will have red as well. With the tortillas and salsas from scratch we've been vacillating between favorite recipes because of all the different flavors on the various tacos.

We had a fantastic dinner at Madden's Casual Gourmet at the Phillips Event Center last night. It was a Wednesday night and it was almost empty but we were very impressed with the food, service, atmosphere, and view. We sat outside on the patio and it was just a really great experience.

Check their menu - lunch seems a lot more casual the dinner. But don't sleep on this place, it was terrific. We'll be back soon, and often!

We ordered too much food. I got the puffy taco with skirt steak and the queso loco (has chorizo, guac, and a green sauce). My friend got the puffy taco with carne guisada and the elote fries. Everything was fantastic. We agreed that we would be willing to pay an upcharge if given the option to put the queso loco on fries instead of chips, if that was ever an option. It would slap. Just an idea (that I would want credit for if it becomes a thing.)

You want a menu item called "Bushytailed Fries"?

That doesn't sound appetizing.
