So we went to Billy Strings on the 11th (dickies arena is awesome) and we’re going to eat at Railhead before. It was packed so we went to the resurrected Pulido’s. It’s the original on Pulido st.
i loved the old place for basic old time blue collar TexMex. It was started as a cafe for the area rail and dairy workers and stayed close to their roots for decades before it cratered.
the new place owners are the folks that own JDs, and Margie’s. It was disappointing. I like the different flavor profiles I enjoyed growing up at el Chico, el Fenix, Mexican Inn, Pulidos, etc. it was comforting. Well they kept the old company menu but not the recipes. it wasn’t bad, my cousin liked it a lot.
the chips and hot sauce were good. The cheese enchiladas were ok but no onion, and the chili gravy was mostly meat and had slightly scorched. The tamale was not good and those used to rock. Taco was a taco. Beans were delarded and rice bland. Iced tea was fresh brewed.
los vaqueros is moving this weekend so we’ll see if they fuck it up.
