Ojeda's Mexican Food, TEX-MEX, DeSoto Texas

http://ojedasrestaurant.com/

Yeah, you probably know where this is going, and it's not gonna be good.

But wait!  The Papa John's ended up being OK, for what it was, so just hang on a sec, maybe these goat ropers know a thing or two about some Tex-Mex!

But let's start at the beginning.  Our day has ended early and it's lunch time.  After lunch we are headed to the hotel for the rest of the day, until dinner in about 6 hours.  So let's have a drink!

I'm having a margarita

Nishie-san and Yahata-san are enjoying a Model Especial

The look of this place is actually kinda cool.  Nice old photos on the menus and on the walls giving it a real Mexico feel.  I'm actually kinda into this, at this point.

Three "salsa's" served with chips.  

They are, left to right, super spicy (not habanero tho), verde, and mild

The spicy is ok, very spicy, verde is green chili, obviously, and it's OK, the mild tastes like tomato soup.  Couldn't be lamer, more lame, whatever.  It's bad.

So now we order.  Yahata-san has the combination #4 (cheese tostada, Guac tostada, beef chalupa, yep, cha-fucken-lupa), Nishie-san has the chicken mole, I have the carne asada.

Not only are there chalupa's on the menu but there is something called a Puffed Taco?  And the waitress said the sour cream enchiladas are great...  I think I'll pass.

Sour cream enchilada, somehow I'm stuck on that.  Just sounds like bad

Here is Yahata-san's lunch.

yeah, wow, enjoy the photo, I'll be back in a sec....

WTF?  Where do I begin?

It looks like if Walmart said they wanted to open a Mexican restaurant, this is the kinda stuff they would offer.  I wanna say ghetto, but I think that would be too high class for this.  How do you offer this?  Who came up with this?  Gross.

Nishie-san's chicken mole doesn't look half bad, and he said it tasted good, so I'll have to defer to him.  Beans look a little suspect though, just sayin....

Freshly purchased flour tortillas  :-O

And the carne plate.  Now, this wasn't THAT bad, but not awesome.  The steak was grey though, see the last photo, and the beans kinda caught me off guard.  Much different than Nishie-san's beans.  And the cheese is like a velveeta-cheddar hybrid.   Very melty but a "not real" aspect that eludes definition.

Bean comparison

Why?  What?  Confusing

   

 

TEX-MEX

The only good thing is that it's in Texas.  

A place I do not often visit, so there's a very small chance that I'll have to 

run this down my gullet again.

TEX-MEX = don't do it 

Real mex = LET'S GO!
