Enchiladita — Restaurant in Nixon

We stopped here for lunch on our way to the beach in Port Aransas. I have never been through Nixon so we figured we would find the restaurant with the most cars parked outside as it probably meant it was the best. We were not disappointed. I had the carne guisada, my wife had the chalupas, my son had the puffy tacos, and my daughter got the cheeseburger. We were all impressed with the food. Maybe the best carne guisada I’ve ever had. The homemade flour and corn tortillas were incredible. Friendly service and great food. A few days later we were headed home and we mates through to time our trip so we could stop here for lunch again. And again, it did not disappoint. Food was excellent and the waiters who had a different section this time came over to say hello and ask is how we were doing.

Pros: great food, good prices, friendly staff, nice atmosphere. It’s an older building but it has a lot of character.

Cons: the sodas are canned so there are no free refills on them. The restrooms are…not great. It’s an old building with old plumbing and they ask that you stash the toilet paper in a wastebasket next to the toilet instead of flushing it down. So there is a strong and foul odor, but it’s a bathroom at a Mexican. Food joint so it kind of goes with the territory.

That won’t stop us from making this a regular stop any time we are headed...

I came to Nixon to meet someone. They were running a bit late so I decided to walk around and visit pokestops. I noticed Enchiladita was open and was craving some cheese enchiladas.y waitress was Yesenia. I asked her a question about the enchilada plate as I have a food allergy to beef. She went above and beyond to make sure the sauce had no beef. She found out it did so I agreed to queso. (I love my queso, btw). I have visited many Mexican restaurants and yes, there have been so very bad enchilada plates. This restaurant was AMAZING. The beans and rice were not dried out, the chips and salsa were spot on and look at this plate!!! Yup. It's almost all gone and realized I needed to get a photo in for the review!!!! If you are ever in Nixon, TX, stop in and enjoy! Cozy atmosphere is a...

Hands-down the worst Mexican food in the surrounding counties. I’m just leaving the restaurant now, and my kids and I sat there for over an hour for two enchilada plates and one beef fajita plate. When I got my food, the fajitas looked and tasted unseasoned. Fajitas are typically cooked with grilled onions and bell pepper, not here they’re not. It was pathetic I’d expect a plate like this up north but not down south. My kids didn’t finish their food, and didn’t even want to take it home with them, and these kids always take their leftovers. The hot sauce looks like tomato paste and doesn’t taste far from it. Avoid this place at all costs. You’ve...
