The best and most popular places are Fuego and Torchy's Tacos. They are not really tex mex per say, but exotic tacos. Both have really good queso.

I don't like any of the tex mex that well in the area. Truthfully Chuy's during green chili fest. On the Border for fajitas are the best bets.

I would say Casa Rodriguez, Papa Perez or Lupe Tortilla next tier down are okay.

If you want hipster/exotic tacos, which is how I classify Fuego and Torchy's, then go to Mad Taco, which is a level up IMO.

As others have said, classic Tex Mex isn't a strong point. We used to go to Ninfas a lot for the margaritas and fajitas but that was a long time ago and it hasn't been as good IMO since it moved from Harvey to the frontage road on 6 years ago. Actually had a waitress who didn't know what carnitas were.

Joses is actually still around. Moved from outside town on Harvey to Texas Ave in Bryan. Haven't been there in a long time but if you want "old school what was around when I was in college Tex-Mex" maybe check it out. Last time a visitor wanted TexMex we took them to the Los Cucos in Bryan. It was fine but nothing to get excited about IMO.

For mexican mexican, we sometimes go to Taqueria Arandas on Texas, which is a Houston chain. Yelp reviews are very bimodal.

My favorite is Casa Ole. I'm from Pasadena and grew up on the stuff, so I may be biased. There's one in CS (at the mall) and one in Bryan (by Walmart).

Lupe Tortilla is excellent. However, it's proximity to campus might make it a nightmare to get a table on gameday.

Jose's on Texas Ave in Bryan is pretty good as well.

Coco loco
I've always had a thing for the green sauce at case ole..

Lupe Tortilla

I live in Cedar Park, and the LT here has HORRIBLE service......and it seems a bit pricey as well.

If you want street tacos at an authentic taqueria, El Sol de Mexico on Texas and MLK is the lick! Best prices also

The Mexican Tacos are great.

Abuelos or Lupe Tortillas

All I got out of this thread is that there are a crap ton of places I need to go try now

Anyone try rutabaga yet off Texas?
