"quesadilla (which is basically a melted cheese taco with lightly fried tortilla),"

I'm just glad to have finally solved the great mystery of what a "quesadilla" is.


I've never seen one with just one tortilla…theirs looks just like a taco and should probably be called a taco.

It was a fair warning to anyone who might be caught off guard by the presentation. Or the portion size. Looks nothing like any quesadilla I have ever had. Whether el tiempo, taqueria Cancun, Los tios, Teotihuacan, or Taco Cabana. It's a phenomenal taco, but they call it a quesadilla, so heads up.

I like them either way but I've had the single loaded taco-shaped quesadilla at roadside stands in Mexico as that's how it comes at the taco counter inside the gas station at Durham & 16th (that's really good).


I have too, but they don't look like a taco because no taco is that big. If a Mexican taco truck served you this "quesadilla", I think you'd understand where I'm coming from. Tacos at taco trucks are bigger than this thing. Anyways, wasted enough energy on this topic. Was just a friendly heads up/observation, didn't mean to cause a controversy.

My point was, these things are good, but get two or three, because they're literally TACOS. At no taco truck or restaurant I have ever been to would I order two quesadillas to be moderately satisfied or 3 to be full.

You wait in line and order at front counter at Little Rey's, and the $8 quesadilla (aka melted cheese taco) may be enough for a 6-7 yr old. Trying to save people an extra trip to the counter and 10-15 minutes of inconvenience.

Not sure what's going on with all this quesadilla talk.

But I do like my kolaches with beans, as long as they're cooked fat side down.

It's an obvious troll that several have not caught on to.

Only a child *might care if a "quesadilla" is one taco or two. Big f'in deal to anyone who is potty trained.


It's mostly the portion size I was warning about. It's tiny for a "quesadilla". Go there and tell me if you've ever seen a "quesadilla" like it. Goodness DF is wrong with people like you? Like a nagging wife. Ok, you win. There, will that shut you up? Feel 'seen' now? Daily dose of attention?

F'n heights libs, I swear. Such a loud bark (online only obviously).


I wonder if shrinkflation has them using street taco tortillas and they think we won't notice.

A troll? The poster that even mentioned it to begin with has only been on TexAgs for a couple months and I doubt even knows that a troll is. It was a legit observation.

They obviously never met a Naughty Dawg to know what a real bark is.

Thank you. Why do people expect me to know all of the official and unofficial rules around here? I recently discovered this place, are they confusing me with someone else? Thanks man, I can tell we're gonna be buds on here. Hoping to make some more friends on here over time but we'll see!

Are tortas of all shapes accepted?

Not trying to argue but I'm gonna post research of quesadilla here this week.

What can y'all tell me about Nancy's Hustle?

It's been on my girlfriend's list for a while. Made us reservations. Curious to hear everyone's take.

Got a random one for yall.....

Silk Road Asian Tapas. Great bao/soup dumplings/noodles. Also the bar offerings are very good. Here's the catch..... It's inside of a Courtyard by Marriott on Westpark and Buffalo Speedway (just down from Goode Co). It's very odd to walk into the lobby and then head into a nice restaurant, but it's worth it. Not a cheap hole in the wall at all.

Haven't been but read all about it a while ago.

Glad to hear it's good. Courtyard is a random spot for this kind of place.

drive by there a few times a week - had noticed the sign and thought it odd. always struck my as a by-the-hour sort of place for greenway/medcenter/West U swingers. i guess they can like good food, too.

I've been a few times and enjoy both the food and the place. Wait staff has always been engaging and knowledgable. Note it is a bistro type menu, but neither standard nor boring bistro fare. I've never sat outside and imagine it would be tough on a hot evening. It isn't dressy/classy but has a hip vibe as you might expect. I recommend it.

it's very good and a place that seems like you can always get a reservation - probably due to the strange location. But the dining room is very nice and service is great.
What do you boys want for breakfast BBQ ?.....OK Chili.

Update: Fantastic experience

Service was great and the food was phenomenal.

The Nancy Cakes are a must. The lamb tartare was awesome and the cheeseburger lived up to the hype. I'll be back.

Also tried the lamb dumplings. They were good - but I'll probably choose to try something else next time.

It's great, but prolly my least favorite of the three. My wife and I sit at the bar for dinner at Bar Bludorn pretty often. That's my favorite approach.

We feel lucky as we can just go through a gate in our back fence and be there in literally 2 min or less. We are on an annoyingly large lot (happy wife...), so half of the battle is just getting to the darned gate lol. Surprised we haven't seen yall there.
