• Tex-Mex • Columbia City
Booked 5 times today
Tex-Mex cuisine began in the Rio Grande Valley before migrating up to San Antonio during the l860's where a group of women known as The Chili Queens' began to pop up in the city's plazas selling chili con carne with tamales, enchiladas, and chili verde. They incorporated cumin into their dishes favored by settlers from theCanary lslands, which still has a strong influence on Mexican food in Texas. Tex-Mex also loves beef, flour tortillas, yellow cheese, fajitas and more.Our inspiration comes from the many classic Tex-Mex restaurants including Sylvia's Enchilada Kitchen, Papasito's, Ninfa's, Blue Goose, Hugo's, Herrerra's Cafe, Chuy's, Valentina's Tex-Mex and many more. Jackalope combines excellent Central Texas-style smoked meats from Jack's BBQ with delicious Tex-Mex dishes. lt's truly the best of both worlds!

    The Keg Steakhouse in Lynwood, WA, is hands down our go-to spot for every occasion. Whether it's a special celebration, a casual dinner, or a night out with friends, we always find ourselves coming back to this consistently outstanding restaurant. The atmosphere is warm and inviting, and the service is top-notch, with staff always attentive and friendly. The steaks are, of course, the star of the show – perfectly cooked every time, with a wide variety of cuts to choose from. Their signature Keg steaks are a must-try, along with the delicious sides and appetizers that never disappoint. We love taking friends and family here because we know everyone will have a memorable experience, and the food will be nothing short of amazing. Whether you're a steak lover or someone looking for a great night out, The Keg in Lynwood is a place you can count on for great food, great service, and great memories. We can't recommend it enough!

    It has been awhile since we dined at Daniel's and the food did not seem to be as outstanding as before. But it was excellent, just not in the outstanding category I recalled. Of course, more pricey.
