    I’ve been a patron here since 1991. It was a place I always enjoyed and took all out of town visitors. I was first disappointed in the chips which were quite stale and not salted. This is not typical for Bluebonnet. The queso and guacamole were excellent as always. But my smothered shredded beef with bean burrito was quite bland, which was surprising. Their shredded beef is usually very flavorful. I don’t know if this was just a bad day for them, but it was definitely not up to the standards I have always enjoyed at Bluebonnet. I don’t want to sever the 34 year relationship I have here, but I dropped $100 on food I considered sub par.

    Food was cold. Margaritas were over priced and watered down.

    We had a great time! The food was tasty, very good. Our large group loved the special care the server provided us. Our family/friend group has dined there many times, expecting and receiving excellent food and service always.

    We went for Restaurant Week with another couple. We had the Chimichanga which was very good and the quantity of the food served was very large. We had enough for another meal or two.
