NJ's Taqueria ~ Hickory Creek, Texas


Today, Mister Music went solo. A mobile taqueria opened up on FM 2181 just West of Genti's in Hickory Creek. I've passed it a few times always looking for an opportunity to check it out. Yesterday, my close friend, Soundgarden Cuz went and had a breakast burrito. Eggs, queso blanco and chorizo tightly stuffed in a big flour tortilla and grilled all around. He said it was delicious and it looked that way to me. I'm constantly looking for a good place for breakfast burritos. 


Today, I decided to stop by just to check it out and get a breakfast taco. I got eggs, queso blanco and pan-fried potatoes. It was a good sized flour tortilla as far as taco standards go and was packed as fat as can be with the yummy filling oozing on either size. 


I got some salsa verde and salsa rojo on the side. Both were creamy and tasty with a good kick! The green was spicier than the red. Although the tortilla was not grilled like my friend's burrito, I was very pleased with the flavor and portion size.

The two people working there were as friendly as can be and the atmosphere was tranquil. The cute orange food truck with shaded tables and perky music piped in was a treat. The menu has breakfast fillings and meats to make tacos, burritos, tortas and quesadillas and even a street bowl. I saw them making gorditas too. It all looked and smelled divine. I definitely plan on coming back to explore the menu further.
 

Update! I decided to make tinga tacos for dinner and wanted quick, easy rice n beans. I picked up a couple side orders of refried beans and Mexican rice. Baby Music and I both thought they were delicious! At $2 per order, we got a fair portion of each. The beans were creamy and flavorful. The rice was cooked nicely with simple, but yummy seasoning. Another plus for NJ's!

Five Guys Burgers and Fries ~ national chain : Colorado Springs, Colorado

Latest visit: Oct 2023 (Colorado Springs - Interquest) First visit: Jan 2007 (Reston, VA) Locations: 49 states + DC. Only Alaska is missing. There are 30 in Colorado (4 in the Springs). That's +3 from last year. Texas has 68 (our former locale of Southlake is closed, so Hurst would have been the closest). There are 123 in California which is their largest state presence. The original Reston location that I first went to is still going.  In what appears to be a recurring theme, I state each year this will be my last visit to Five Guys. Only to return anyway. This year's excuse is I wanted to try their new location, which very recently opened up close to our house. This is definitely the closest we've ever lived to a Five Guys - even the Reston location was further from my office at the time. And I thought maybe it would make a good choice for a weekday lunch while working from home, thus putting Five Guys back into the rotation. I put that idea to the test here this Saturda...

Denver's Old School Italian Restaurants

I know, I know... I haven't posted anything in 6 months. You were checking back every week, then every month and now I've fallen completely off your radar. Sorry about that. My only lame excuse is that I've been "saving up" for a good one. I've been wanting to write about Denver's Italian restaurants since we returned part-time last year. And you all know how the RJG feels about this style of restaurant . As someone who grew up in Dallas, perhaps I've been more drawn to cities that embrace their history rather than completely demolish it. Only recently has Dallas become more acutely aware of their past. Previously, any buildings not in use have been razed as fast as possible, to make way for the next brand new shopping center - all in the latest architecture naturally. Contrarily you have cities like St. Louis that are 19th and 20th century industrial ghost towns - places frozen in time because for most everyone who could, they just up and left to ...

Taco Casa ~ regional chain : Keller, Texas

Latest visit: Oct 2018 (Keller, TX)  First visit: 1992 (Durant, OK) We snuck into DFW to move the RJG's official Mom to Colorado Springs this past October. This was our only restaurant visit, as we were on a tight schedule. Could this be the last RJG visit in DFW (other than the airport of course)? It could very well be... wow, seems strange. Hard to believe the majority of the below review is now 10.5 years old. --- The RJG likes him some tacos. We mentioned in other posts that while Italian and Thai probably constitute our favorite restaurant experiences, taco places represent our favorite fast food excursion. And we'll boldly admit that it isn't even the authentic Mexican taco / taqueria stand that has been in vogue these last 25 years (though we like those too!). No, we like the good old fashioned American styled, crunchy taco. Taco Bell may be its iconic image, but it's hardly the best representative. Most taco chains are of the regional variety. And we've ...
