Review of Tierra Del Sol, Sulphur Springs, TX
12/4/2014
Lunch
Ordered one of the daily specials, Tacos da Pedron
Oh yes! Tex-Mex.
I have dined here many times since that pizza chain left in a huff. . . I worked my way through the ‘traditional’ menu items, the enchiladas, the ‘changas, the burritos. . . All good, don’t get me wrong. What really shines here are the other offerings. Do yourself a flavor here, don’t just order the same old Sour Cream Chicken you always get. Go crazy, I mean loco…. Order a flauta, or maybe something with ‘verde’ in the title. Boom!
The tacos; beef was tender and well-seasoned. Filled to the point I could have used another tortilla, but I managed. Fresh chopped herbs, and tomatoes… I really didn’t look inside… I just went for it. And the beans and rice, so often a neglected side-note on the Tex-Mex plate, were good. I cleaned them up.
Atmosphere: simple and uncluttered. It’s in a strip mall, so what can you do? Open interior can be noisy at times, but we could hold a conversation with each other.
Sweet Tea Review: Good. Nice sweetness level.
Plate Temperature Review: Hot!
Things I didn’t like: For whatever reason lunch took a long time to arrive. I would expect that 2 orders of the daily ‘special’ and a cup of tortilla soup should be quick to prepare.
We will be back.
