• Tex-Mex • Columbia City
Booked 6 times today
Tex-Mex cuisine began in the Rio Grande Valley before migrating up to San Antonio during the l860's where a group of women known as The Chili Queens' began to pop up in the city's plazas selling chili con carne with tamales, enchiladas, and chili verde. They incorporated cumin into their dishes favored by settlers from theCanary lslands, which still has a strong influence on Mexican food in Texas. Tex-Mex also loves beef, flour tortillas, yellow cheese, fajitas and more.Our inspiration comes from the many classic Tex-Mex restaurants including Sylvia's Enchilada Kitchen, Papasito's, Ninfa's, Blue Goose, Hugo's, Herrerra's Cafe, Chuy's, Valentina's Tex-Mex and many more. Jackalope combines excellent Central Texas-style smoked meats from Jack's BBQ with delicious Tex-Mex dishes. lt's truly the best of both worlds!

    We shared appies and steak which was perfect. Medium is more rare at Daniel’s than at some restaurants which was perfect for us. Diet Coke at $6+ seemed a bit pricey even with tip included. That is my only negative.

    Always a pleasure to go to the Keg. Had friends in from out of town who love The Keg. Had the family join us. We had a delightful time. The food was delicious. Our server did a fabulous job. My grandson was along and actually ate some of his food. The server really paid attention to him and as a result he really had a good time. Love the variety that the Keg offers. In the last many years, I have steered away from beef and pork. I had the salmon with the mustard glaze. It was unbelievably delicious. Also order the calamari appetizer - one of the best takes on calamari around. As a Keg member, I get periodic offers. This time had my free birthday dinner coupon. Thanks Keg for my birthday dinner and a great time.
