This used to be my favorite place. Since they changed the name, the food is bland but most of all, it is SO expensive! I got a water and chicken quesadillas. After tip I ended up spending $21!
Unfortunately The food is just not worth it. I won't be back.

Have been a regular customer for over 40 years...1st with casa Ole...the quality has gone down. Big fan of your queso, extremely salty today. My friend said hers was too, so not just me. The beef is now grainy and flavorless. Please do better. We supported you during covid, by eating there as much as was financially possible, because you were important to us.

Our waitress was fantastic and clearly doing her best, especially considering how busy the restaurant was. It was obvious she was overwhelmed, likely due to how backed up the kitchen was. Unfortunately, it took over 35 minutes for our food to arrive.

When it finally came out, the food wasn’t very hot. The fajitas made a sizzling sound, but they cooled quickly—unlike typical fajitas where the plate is so hot you have to wait before eating. The chicken was noticeably dry, and the onions weren’t properly cooked; they were still firm and hadn’t reached that translucent, sautéed stage.

For the price we paid, the portion size and quality just didn’t match up. We could go to places like Chuy’s or Pappasito’s and pay around $17 for fajitas that are more flavorful, better cooked, and more generous in portion.

Lastly, the tea tasted stale, as if it had been sitting for hours—it had that bitter, over-steeped flavor you get when it’s not fresh.

Had lunch here today. Two of us ordered fajitas. A 50/50 beef/chicken, and a loco hombre, beef/shrimps.
Overall, it was rather bland for a mexican dish. Beans and rice as well, rather bland. Decor was good, seating in the booth we sat, was very tight. We were literally against the table both sides. For us, prob not a return anytime soon. We'll be trying other longview mexican places to eat.
