So without me posting about the MREs I've had haven't been able to write or review too much. However I think that's on a down hill slope and will be adding more now. Don't give up on the traveler yet!

Don Enriques review
After a full day of driving and now hungry again, we noticed that Don Enriques had opened AGAIN. This place was Enriques, then Amanda's, then back to Enriques then I think kitchen fire and tried to sell it. The place never sold so back to original Enriques.
So we walk in and were greeted friendly, always a plus, and asked how many, but said how about the bar. She walks up back and things had changed since last time, still very open and inviting but nicer looking and colors. The bar has several drink specials and of course I had to try a few. I will recommend the Mexican Martini, very nice!
So after a few drinks I need to snack, chip and salsa! Ok chips were thicker than what I care for and a tad stale, but the hot sauce....addicting. It starts sweet then moves to the heat and good flavor.
Now more drinks and music, wheres it coming from? There is a guy sitting in the corner like a one man show singing. Ok not bad few more of these martinis I'll be dancing.
Ok need food now, got one of the signature items Tres Colores, 5 mins later food here, um WHAT??? The beans look several days old and have a crust! The rice, taste...dry, enchilada one the cheese with green sauce....ok the sauce crusted across the plate..eewww.
Ok the chicken with sour cream sauce...this is canned chicken! I can taste it, i open it up and its flaky, um flaky chicken? One more the beef, oh god, meat bad super salty and bad flavor.
Ok what have we learned? First off great bar and service was excellent, however, people will wait for good food don't rush it. Some shortcuts in the kitchen is ok but in Texas we like our Mexican food and this was not it. I'm curious how to categorize this place really because I don't even want to say its Mexican food.
I wish them the best, and there is alot of military and college that aren't from Texas that might like this place. But please don't think this is how all Mexican food is.
GO HAVE A DRINK THOUGH, THOSE ARE GREAT!
see more pics and reviews on website, not all the ones I say stay away from are in red
