Nuevo Leon, Slaughter and Escarpment




Paula told me to check this place out because they used to cater breakfast tacos to Brackenridge. I had a tough time finding it - kind of buried past Escarpement on Slaughter by the Wachovia branch. The place itself was very nice. They had a fabulous patio that I could imagine some fun happy hours at - ANYONE WANT TO HAPPY HOUR IN SOUTH AUSTIN?

When I walked in, the host/manager? had answered the phone at the bar, viewable from the host stand and acknowledged me with a smile and friendly wave that said - "hey I see you and I will be with you in just a sec." It was a friendly gesture from afar...the Waterloo BC staff could take some pointers.

I was seated quickly, they gave me complimentary chips and hot sauce and my order was taken. I got my food in about 10 minutes and the waiter was attentive to my drink refills, etc. The food was pretty good, I ate the whole plate! Nothing I would dream about like Chuy's, but definitely something I would try again. I had the Chicken Supreme Enchiladas. I am actually spoiled by Chuy's because I don't really like shredded meat. I like it more cut up like they do it (and before I get comments from my 2 readers, I know Chuy's is not real Mexican).

All in all, a good place. Next time I will try the Fajitas, Fish Tacos or Cheese Enchiladas - oh did I say that they had a pretty inexpensive lunch menu? They do!

Hey, invite me next time, sounds good.

I just don't like smelling like Chuy's the rest of the day...

I agree with the Chuy's smell thing. I feel like I smell like a big armpit after I have left.
