El Tapatio
Mexican restaurant

But it was ridiculously unflavored, tough and fatty. And the Margarita was pure mix and sweet. I love the in town location, but will n...

Prima Pasta

👍👍 I order from them tonight and the delivery minimum was $20 and the Ribeye was $20 so it just made sense. Well this place was definitely representing Texas with this steak I had to work to eat it all. It was wonderful. Thank you. I also got Teramasu because it was affordable and it was pretty big...
