Taco Rey Tex-Mexican Food Restaurant — Restaurant in Nederland

My husband and I went there for our date night (we were kid free) because we love trying out new places especially small places like this. Service was great, margaritas not so much... My husband ordered the 1/2 order fajita quesadilla from the dinner menu....$10 later it did not come with rice or beans (most "dinners" usually do) so he ordered a side of ($3) beans. I ordered the beef fajita stuffed baked potato. I waited about 35 minutes and when I FINALLY got it, it was the wrong potato (another waitress took the wrong potato to the wrong table) I know things like this happen my husband and I waited tables for about 10 years on and off. I waited another 30 minutes or so and still no potato. I went to the manager and said I just want to cancel my order. He said ok I will take it off your ticket. When I got back to my table he said " Oh it was actually coming out right now, would you like me to bag it to go" I was like well yea I guess so...when it was time to pay, the potato was not taken off even though I waited over an hour and did not even get to eat and 1/2 "dinner" quesadilla was $10 plus $3 to add beans to it. The salsa was a bit too salty, so was the quesadilla. When I FINALLY got to taste my food at home, the potato and fajitas were good but the onion and bell pepper a bit too sweet. I can now say...we tried it, but not...

Always the best Mexican food in Texas. I've been eating at Taco Rey my entire life which started back when they were located on Bluebonnet in Port Arthur. I've traveled all over the US and have yet to find better Mexican food anywhere. The restaurant is fixed within an old style wood frame house on piers complete with rustic hardwood floors, wooden multi-pane windows and early 20th century tin ceiling panels. There's never a shortage of discussion between patrons with the multitude of eclectic conversation pieces surrounding the interior of the restaurant including old celebrity photos, movie posters, news articles, antique decorations and retro furniture. The ambience is usually festive, the staff pleasant, the margaritas succulent and...

Worst Tex Mex in Southeast Texas. Fajita Skillet you could grab when served, peppers and onions were raw. There was A. Tostada underneath the peppers and onions when served. You could literally grab the meats and hold them in your hand when served. The chicken was dry and hard, the beef was lukewarm and no flavor to it. Neither is chicken. When she asked me if I said everything was okay I said no. I grabbed a piece of fajita meat and held it and showed her how cold it was. She asked me if I wanted it. Reheated and I said no. I wasn't staying long enough to worry about that. The best thing about the meal was the margarita. It was very good. I will never go back to this...
