This was NOT the thread for me to open while I'm about to cook dinner (too late to pivot, already thawed meat)...I know I'll just be sad that dinner isn't those delicious tacos.

Just finished an El Camino from Mojo. It was great and super filling. I will be back.

Went to Mojo Tortilla this morning. Got the bacon and egg and chorizo and egg. Was expecting more than 1 slice of bacon. The chorizo was good. Quality of food was good. Tortillas were large if you get a taco with several toppings. Won't be my everyday spot as it cost me $9.22 for two tacos and a drink. I'll make sure to remember to only get a drink when eating in where I can get a refill and not driving through.



Less than $3 a taco is pretty cheap. I don't think you can get a Whataburger taquito for that, and those are garbage.


No no. That's now how foodies in this town run. All meals out must be less than $8, drink , tax and tip included. And you must be able to take half of it home for dinner.

Actual taqueria tacos run pretty affordable.

Wife and I went to 1860 for the first time the other night. Went early so there weren't many people in there so lots of empty tables but somehow they decided we needed to be in the side room next to the supply closet and cleaning cart. Kind of awkward having people come by us a few times to get more liquor or whatever else they needed out of that room. Took the waitress probably 10 minutes or so to greet us for the first time and give us a drink menu.

Overall food was really good and the service was as well outside of the initial wait. Would have been nice to sit in the main room for a $170 meal for 2. The whole experience just didn't feel right all from where they sat us.

We had a similar experience, and have not been back.

You can always ask to move.

Just be nice/professional about it, especially if it's not busy or overly packed.

I would certainly not expect seating like that unless it's slammed packed.

I wander if their policy is to start with the worst table unless the people coming in look loaded. The mindset that they know some people will just take it. Not realizing that they are turning potential quarterly repeat customers into one and dones.

Might be. Also, young folks that are hosts, etc. just don't think a lot of times as well.

The put another table of two in there about 20 minutes after us. I thought maybe it was the small group room then they sat a party of 6 in there when we were finishing up.

What are the board's thoughts on Korean food here? Number one used to be Ohana but I'm really taken with Mong Chon lately.

I love the banchan at Ohana. The owner is always so friendly and the food always terrific. And she always serves the best 'cinnamony' tea at the end of the meal.

I didn't realize Mojo Tortilla wasn't open for dinner and now I'm eating Burger King pretending it's a taco.

Hang in there!! We are extending to 10pm asap! We still have some staffing and training to do for that to happen. We are targeting about 2 weeks from now. We will make an announcement on our socials. Thanks for coming by!

Don't forget, Mojo Tortilla Co. is going 24 hours in the not too distant future!

Wife and I just came back from MOJO. Excellent service, friendly staff, great food. Both dined for less than $25!

Our new favorite taco place.

It's good. I got Covid there right before Christmas 2023, as did almost all in the group I was with. We all agreed it was worth it.

The pizza of the month for Double Dave's is a dill pickle pizza. It's damn good. I don't eat pizza that often. I wish I would have known how good it was. I would have gotten one for myself.

Kinderhill had a dill pickle pizza that was shockingly good. But it's a good place so not surprising. They might still have it.

Looking forward to one of you fine people to go check out the authentic italian restaurant the KBTX noted.
Damiano's Cucina Italiano in Nvasota. If I see a good review or two I would enjoy taking a short trip with my wife to celebrate her birthday coming up.
