True Tex Mex! They serve traditional Texan food and drinks until 2am. It is extremely affordable. It’s not bad (it won’t be the best food you’ve ever had but it’s good) and a favorite with tourists so I can comfortably recommend it to you. :) 12 min from AirBnB. Sometimes they have live drag shows, trivia, or sports games on the TV in the background.
