    Let me preface this review by telling you that I was born in Mexico City and grew up with homemade Mexican food. I've also traveled to and eaten in a number of locations in northern, central, and southern Mexico. I've been living in South Texas (Galveston, Corpus Christi, San Antonio) since 1993, and have been bouncing around Central and South Texas since 1987. Finally, my ex-wife and her family are Mexican American, so I got a heaping helping of deliciousness there too. Now, onto my review: Facility Could use a good cleaning. Not awful, but they need to take a little time to dust, clean, and replace old stuff. Service We were greeted by a nice girl of about 12 years, who promptly seated us. The waitress; however, took about ten minutes to come by and take our order. She was nice though. Food - The chips were bagged, but pretty good as bagged chips go. - The salsa was very good. My mother used to make a simple salsa almost exactly like this that I loved. Hers was made with canned tomato sauce, lots of oregano, chiles, and a couple of other things. - The guacamole was perfect. - The drinks (one of my favorite food groups) were decent. The whisky on the rocks I ordered was VERY generous. The margaritas were acceptable. - I ordered a chimichanga, which I hadn't had for some time. A chimichanga, for those who don't know, is essentially a deep-fried burrito filled with whatever the maker wants to stuff it with. I thought I'd try their seafood chimichanga. It was not deep fried. It was just a burrito made with a non-handmade tortilla and covered with canned red sauce. The seafood filling was so-so. The whole thing was on the low end of "meh." - The beans were good. I'm guessing reconstituted dehydrated beans, which area MUCH better than canned. - The rice was fair. - I also ordered a chile relleno. A chile relleno is a green chile stuffed with cheese or meat that is coated with a light, whipped egg white batter and deep fried. It's typically covered with a tomato sauce. The one I had at El Sarape was made using a canned green chile. Canned chiles are often fine, but better with a fresh roasted and peeled poblano. Anyway...they didn't use a batter, they simply wrapped it in egg. So, it was more of an omelet stuffed with a chile that is filled with cheese. The relleno was then topped with a canned "con carne" (or meat) sauce. It wasn't too pleasing. I use canned green chiles in omelets, but this wasn't even good from that perspective. Meh. - We finished with flan for desert. Flan is a custard dessert that is typically served with a caramel sauce. They used canned flan and covered it with chocolate sauce. Double meh. I suppose if you've never had Mexican food more complex than Taco Bell, El Sarape might be acceptable to many, but if you're looking for something authentic, or a spin on something authentic, look elsewhere.

    Pretty good food, good service, good prices. I love gourmet Mexican food, and this was more like a regular Mexican restaurant as far as the food goes. I was happy that they didn't overcook my Carne Asada though. Salsa was ok, chips were good.

    Any time I see a well crafted response to a less than wonderful Yelp review, I know that there is someone paying attention to details. In the long run, a good restaurant is a place where someone is paying attention to details. So, you get another star from me!

    This review is for the uptown location. The service and the bartenders here get 5 stars. I have never had bad service, or a weak drink EVER in the dozens of times I have been here. Margarita on the rocks will get you where you want to be, quickly. And they're delicious. Sit in the bar for a more interactive experience if you aren't out with the family. The food is alright. Not amazing, but alright. If you've had a few drinks, it's pretty good. The best of the menu are the chimichangas (any of them) and the chicken fajita salad. I wish the rice here had a bit more spice/seasoning to it. Every time I have ordered a traditional salad (one without some variety of taco shell under it), it has come on a scorching hot plate. HOT LETTUCE IS GROSS. Stop it, El Sarape. Stop it. This is an easy fix. I like coming here to drink and eat with friends. If I was after food alone, I would probably not choose this place. But it has a good vibe if you just want to take your time and hang around after work on a weeknight.

    Great food every time I went in with my Mexican co workers. But every time I've gone in with a white person I get the worst food and service! Wtf? Last time I went in with my grandpa we both got a macho burrito with no meat which it was supposed to come with and so much salt on top I was able to scoop at least 3 spoon fills of pure salt. So we both tried to tell our waiter and she just snickered at us and walked off two times. So we just both left without paying. And a week prior I was there with my Mexican coworkers and had an amazing meal with great service! Great food if you are brown skin I guess.

    We ordered the sarape nachos to share between the two of us. It was delicious. I asked for extra guacamole and they brought me the biggest little dish I have ever seen. Also, the service was extraordinary!AND the raspberry margarita was really good, and giant.

    We go there often and always have good food and great service. Edie and Eduardo do a great job for us. Every time friends and family come to town they want to go there.

    We went there a few time when my husband craving for Mexican food. The food was okay, nothing so special. Good service, but could have done better.

    I really like the food at the Railroad Ave. location; it's simple but delicious. The prices are fairly cheap, but the portions are still a good size. I've had a decent margarita there, and the enchiladas senora is a delicious lunch. The service is a little inconsistent. What I mean is sometimes it's really great, friendly and prompt. Other times it's been a little slow and sometimes the wait staff seems distracted by other things. There is a lounge and also an area in the restaurant for larger groups; I like that there is usually no wait for a table. Customers have also come in while I was there and ordered meals to go. I haven't tried this myself, but it would be a nice service. The restaurant is always clean. It's light on the decorations and atmosphere, but still nice. The service inconsistency aside, I think it's a good place to go for lunch, and I'm sure I'll go back.

    Stopped here for lunch since I had training in the area and felt like a taco salad. It took a few minutes for anyone to even greet me when I walked in and then I was ushered to a booth without any pleasantries by a gal. I then sat in silence for about 4 minutes before she came back and gave me a glass of water and chips and salsa. The salsa was about as flavorless and watery as it gets. Meh. A few minutes later the same gal comes back and takes my order and then says, " and you will just have water?". Um, no, actually I would like a pop. My food arrived pretty quickly but it looked like it came from the taco bell down the road. It was very small and had about a teaspoon of cheese on the whole thing. The shell tasted stale and the lettuce was all white iceburg lettuce. And it had a dollop of sour cream and guacamole. Hardly any. The salad was not cheap either. I seriously could have got a bigger and better taco salad at taco bell. The waitress never came back to refill my pop or check on me. I had to ask someone else walking by for the check. First time in a LONG time that I have not left anything for a tip. I would NOT return to this restaurant.

Mexican Cuisine

If you enjoy Taco Tuesday, then you have officially fallen in love with the Mexican Food. The main grain of Mexican cuisine is maize. Also known as corn, maize is grown for the past 9000 years after the crop was discovered by the people in Mayan civilization. Mexican empire flourished when they started growing beans, tomatoes, chili pepper, sweet potato and cactus. Till this date these ingredients are used in cooking authentic Mexican dishes and drinks.

Great use of spices, fresh chili pepper dishes like fajitas, tortilla chips, corn chips, salsa, chimichangas, burritos, nachos and quesadillas are invented in America. But when you are looking for authentic Mexican food then you must find a restaurant in the city that serves Rajas con Queso, Garbanzo in a Guajillo Chile Sauce, Pork Filled Chiles Rellenos, Chiles en Nogada, Molcajete Salsa, Pico de Gallo and Frijoles de la Olla. An eye-opening fact – Mexican don't like their food hot. They use fresh chili and other spices to create a flavor that lingers in your mouth.

Mexican food is great for those who are Gluten Intolerant as they use Corn instead of wheat in most of their dishes. Also, you can easily find many beans based Mexican dishes. Another dish which didn't get similar glory as tacos or nachos is the Mexican hot chocolate. If you love something hot on a chilly day, then go for Mexican Hot Chocolate. On merry days, you can enjoy the authentic Mexican Drinks like Tequila, Mezcal, Tecuí, Sotol, Bacanora, Charanda, Posh O Pox, Puebla and Pulque. Mexican Cuisine is for people who enjoy strong drinks and hearty meals.
