| - Meh + shrug, is the best expression for how I feel about Tex Tubb's, but overall, they are okay.
I would say their food is a little hit or miss. For example, their fish tacos are great, but their vegetarian tacos are... how do you say... not a joy to eat, conversely, their burritos are pretty good.
To a certain extent, this place embodies what a Midwesterner thinks Mexican food is, but that's also it's best feature. It's unhindered by tradition and is willing to explore what it means to be a taco.
What I've tried:
Veggie Tamale- meh, I would not recommend this one. It's not very interesting and there was way too much masa and not enough filling. Could have been an isolated problem to my particular tamale.
Atwood Burrito- I liked this one. Flavorful and interesting
Blackened Baja Cod taco- This goes for the blackened and the beer battered, nice flaky fish and I really liked the slaw topping.
Beer Battered Baja Cod taco
Avocado Frito Taco- surprisingly flavorless. I never thought I would find this one boring but I did. Flavors were very monochromatic and it rubbed me wrong that there were 2 pieces of fried avocado and yet still managed to be overfilled, mainly with black beans. I ate part of this one with a fork and then gave up because I was so bored.
Fried Cauliflower Taco- cauliflower was undercooked and waaay under seasoned. Also, smaller piece sizes would do wonders. The corn tortillas in general here are not to my liking. They are floppy and a little too squishy. They should have some texture to them.
If someone asked me to point them in the direction of unconventional tacos, I'd send them here. But, if they asked for the really good stuff, I'd send them to Taqueria Guadalajara or El Jalapeno.
