AZUL — Restaurant in Texas

Anzul recently opened in the Lucky Eagle Casino serving primarily Mexican food. Their hours of operation are limited. No fancy decor or decoration to define what type of restaurant. Simple successful menu of ten items plus two dessert items. Good variety. Appeal to most people with different palates. The prices are low to moderate.

He was quite vocal with other patrons, obviously regulars, about his new job in Austin!! Too bad for us he wasn't...

Edd describes it as a Basic seasoning that has all the flavor of the beef you could want… I agree, not one scrap of fat on the whole cut. Great wedge and Lorenzo adores the French onion soup as his go to appetizer. Fajitas solid, shrimp cooked well. Warm and cozy atmosphere if you are in Eagle Pass, this is worth the trip.
