Tex-Mex Restaurants near Watauga

“The steak tacos were fantastic and the flavors really stood out. I was also thrilled that they let me switch the refried beans for a side salad. You can see it in one of my photos and it turned out to be far from an ordinary salad. The Caesar dressing was unbelievably good and I would go back just for that. Our server was exceptional and made the entire visit even better.“

“They stay open later for us night owls“

“The food was fair and the restaurant was clean. The bathroom smelled SO BAD like sewer. I thought I was gonna puke from the smell. The service was S-L-O-W. There was ground meat mixed in the beans, like it was stuck to the utensil or had been dropped into the service container which nearly sent my texture sensitive eater over the edge. There are so few of these restaurants anymore I hate to leave an actual truthful review.“

“The food and ambience is made with true Tex-mex spirit! Food is delicious, ambience and decor is really nice, the bar area looks like a jewel there! 👌 Sangria Swirl is top notch, house made chips are so fresh, relenos and chili enchiladas are the best!“

“Ding dong, Taco Bell who? I just made the best chuy’s gordita crunch with their at home taco meal kit! (Plus a side of the queso and jalapeno sauce) literally the best decision!!! Simply take a daft tortilla add a layer of the queso cheese, place a hard shell in the center and wrap the side up with the tortilla. Finally layer in meat, jalapeno sauce, beans lettuce cheese and tomato. Trust me. You will enjoy!“

“Good food, great prices! Got the chicken tamale plate. Everything else was temporarily sold out. Lol
Was a little surprised at the size. They were smallest I've ever had. But packed with Great flavor!! The charro beans and rice were both good as well.
For the price of only $8ish. It was a great meal!
Service was fantastic. AC not working great, but not totally uncomfortable inside.
All in all... a great little place! And I'll definitely come back to try beef and pork!!“

“We have been eating at la Isla for 30 years. Mainly the Park Row and Cooper location and when they moved to Pantene we followed them there. We have sampled the menu widely but I am centered on the tostada de Ceviche for a start. Then the sour cream chicken enchilada plate. We love the rice and beans and I love to put some of the delicious salsa on them. My wife usually gets either the fajitas or the tacos Al carbon. The chips and salsa are great too. Moderately priced as well. Give them a try.“

“Service is great! Food is great! Salsa….amazing!!!“

“We were there during the Jonas Brothers concert so it was extremely busy. We added ourselves to the wait list 30 minutes before we arrived and still had to wait 30 minutes. Like I said they were busy. The jalapeno creamy dip is to die for. I don't like jalapenos but I love this. The burrito bowl was large and very taste. Will definitely return.“

“Delicious food and great attention from Aaron, you want him to take your order.“

“Food was good quality and lots of it. We had standard fare nachos and tacos, but have had their fajitas and enchiladas all of which are above average Tex-Mex offerings. I like this place for the atmosphere and the outdoor seating options. I also like their margaritas and salsas. They also have gf options.“

“Happy Hour 🍻 seating at the Bar was a great experience! I knew the bartender name before the drinks 🤣 and the service was great“

“Other than the front desk guy that checks you in with the super long hair, everyone in the restaurant was super friendly, smiling, and polite and courteous. The concierge at the front desk was super weird and oddly enough had a bad “tough guy” attitude for somebody with a man.🤷🏽‍♀️“

“This is a cash only restaurant, so know that ahead of time - there is an ATM on site. Limited menu, but it is very, very good and the portions are great! The tortilla chips are made in house and are the best we have ever tasted. Be careful of the margaritas - they are not short on the liquor so if you are the driver be cautious about having a second one. Be prepared for a wait outside, but they move you fairly quickly - AND you can always go in and get a pitcher of margaritas to help with the wait, but remember about how potent they are.“

“Rachel was fantastic!! Super attentive and patient with modifications made. Her level of attention and care made us feel taken care of!! The food was so good!! Loved the veggie quesadilla and the fiesta fajita. Very flavorful, piping hot and did I mention yummy. This was our first time and we can’t wait to come back. Wonderful service made everything even better!! And the frozen watermelon margarita… was EVERYTHING!!“

“Had one of the best salmon tacos of my life last night😩 so i had to leave a review! It might be a little pricey for some but definitely try, it’s worth it 100%!!!

✨updated✨
I had to take off a star🥲 i tried to enter my receipt code for points because i made an account and the people wrote my name over the code. So i can’t get the points from last night i’m very big on getting points and saving money😭. But other than that everything was great!“

“Super quality food. Great service! It was a busy night, so we had to wait 30 min approx. But the time went fast. The crowd made the restaurant noisier than usual but still at a level we could converse without raising voices.

Wheelchair accessibility: Yes, close parking and easy to manuever“

“Great food, great service! When a server remembers what you normally get, that is more than service, that is making you feel like OTB family. Managers always checking on things and making sure things are taken care of.“

“The food was excellent upon my eating at Abuelo's yesterday. The plate was hot and the Chili Relleno keeps me coming back to this restaurant. The server who waited on my table was name Monica! She was an exceptional server who described the plates on the menu and did with a smile. I want to shout out to Monica!“

“Was in the neighborhood and stopped in for lunch. Great food and atmosphere. Ordered the #4 Lunch Combo (fajita and enchilada) portion was huge, actually unexpected. They're only open for lunch and the place was packed at noon. Now I understand why! Definitely recommend!“

“Rusty Taco is one of our favorites for date night. Super friendly staff and great food. Plus you get a punch card for free tacos. The menu is wide so there is something for everyone. Breakfast to Philly steak to fish and everything in between. They also have the juiciest limes ever. There limes are the juiciest, but lately they have been a bit dry, it’s okay though things happen.“

“Maria Cucas is my all time favorite Mexican restaurant! The quality of food is amazing & flavorful, the service is great, and the margaritas are to die for! This restaurant has a work and cozy feel that is perfect for family gatherings or even date night! The classic timeless decor is authentic to the culture! Great place to dine!“
