Ojeda's

Dear Ojeda's,
Maybe it was because we deviated from our normal Wednesday outing and went on a Thursday, maybe it was a full moon, or maybe your restaurant really was that bad.
Your margaritas were strong, but not very flavorful. Your queso was decent, but most of us added salsa to jazz it up a bit. Then there's your food. Someone ordered a spinach quesadilla...safe enough, or so we thought. The flour tortilla was FULL of chopped, previously frozen spinach and the cheese was on the OUTSIDE. I mean, how do you mess up a quesadilla? Even Napoleon Dynamite can make a quesadilla!
Your one saving grace is that your chips are hot and crisp AND you provide a small pitcher of delicious salsa on the table so the customer can refill as needed.
We did have some fascinating conversations that evening and, as always, the company was top notch, but overall, your restaurant just isn't very good.
Sincerely,
K-So

Tupinamba. Days of Yore


"I apologize to all the people I've hurt and peed on."
-Dave Chappelle as the President

We've been out of the blogging business for too long. No excuses, but you still love us, right?

OK, Meltdown here. Tupinamba is up. I started with a distaste in my mouth for two reasons: 1) reviews online mentioned the joint is Aggie-centric. Barf. 2) I had to leave early for work reasons. I'll spare you the details. Let's just say, the 16th eosinophil is a biznitch.

Shelby Metcalf queso. Nice name. This queso was guud. It's like other Bob A in town, but the taco meat was seasoned. It was straight metal, as illustrated by the horns, & it being the exact opposite of Fred Durst covering and NKOTB song with New Bohemians. G Funk had her own shout out dish too: Grilled Chicken Breast topped with Sliced Avocados, Chopped Tomatoes and melted Jack Cheese, Grilled Vegetables and Rice. Niice.

We got famous that night. Deal with it.

Balls in your face. We still love you for following us, with patience, and for hating Nickelback.

This joint is sweet, albeit not close to anything.
3+ out of 4 .

Come on you Red Devils!
