I tried Mojo Tortilla Company recently during one of their discount days. Their rice is really strange; I noticed that when a pea fell out of my taco I thought it was some sort of cross-contamination from another ingredient bin, but no, their Mexican rice has peas in it. It didn't taste like any rice I had in a taco place before.

I'll have to go back to Mojo Tortilla Co. to make a final commitment but it feels like the rice situation is trying to hard to be different.

Their puffy tacos pork carnitas are really good. Overall one of my favorite taco places in BCS.

It's not unheard of to put peas or diced carrots in Mexican rice. My Mexican-born grandmother did it.

Does anyone know of any Mexican restaurants in BCS that actually put hominy in their menudo? La Perlita, Don Chente, and El Sol do not. I know it's a regional thing but menudo just seems weird without hominy.

Juany and Lucy's, the place in the gas station at 1403 Briarcrest. It's as good as I've had here. Even Mi Tierra near me, which I adore, omits the hominy. If you discover others that add it in please report back.

The family we are teamed with is from SA and have a ton of experience. They are super SA authentic. Peas in rice, hotdog slices in the charro, and hominy in the menudo.

Frozen peas, diced carrots, frozen corn all in my Mexican rice.

Other possibilities might be La Carreta (they used to but I haven't been since they moved), and Mi Tierra (I will ask during tomorrows breakfast taco run).

We've just moved to B/CS and I haven't read this whole thread, but we tried Champions Pizza yesterday and it was really good NY Style Pizza and they have it it by the slice.

Welcome to the area. We moved from Allen about 3 years ago and don't regret a thing. Monitor this thread and the annual comings and goings thread and you will be up to date on most things pertinent. If you need some recommendations on other food establishments, feel free to reach out via DM.

You need to try Mr. G's in downtown Bryan. Similar to Champion but better! We do like Champion as well.

Had some friends tell us about it a few months ago so we had them cater a party recently. The owners delivered a trunk full of their very large pizzas to the venue. Great people and the pizza tasted as if it was fresh out of the oven after a 25 min drive.

Finally made it to MOJO tortilla co.

Excellent! I got the el Camino and wife got the low rider with carnitas.

I think both were delicious and had lots of protein. 1 taco was filling!

I will be back for a puffy taco next!

This might not be the right place for this question, but I'll ask anyway. Has anyone ever rented the event venue downtown 202? Any thoughts on the venue it's self?

Mojo Burger at the La Bodega location at Caprock Crossing has shakes on the menu posted at the drive-thru.

They do not serve shakes at that location.

I was jonesing for a shake.

Yeah that was our oversight. We are working on getting that changed. Burger Mojo university and Holleman only unfortunately. Apologies.

Electrical tape in the mean time? Having new boards made can't be cheap.

Well, my ocd won't let me put electrical tape on there lol. Kyle over at fast signs has come up with a plan using on-brand stickers that go over things whenever we have updates, so we don't have to redo the menu board every time.

This thing is our oversight and it's overdue. I'll own it.

We actually have a brand spanking new $17,000 shake machine in storage. I would love to deploy it but we literally don't have space. To boot, with the upcoming new bodega menu iteration it has only grown in size.

If the mojo drive thru picks up more volume and demand grows, at some juncture I suppose we will be forced to figure something out.

Side note: I do enjoy interacting on this forum as I see value in it and also get some laughs from time to time.

It's too big and I would posit that it wouldn't pencil on the occupancy cost side. We want under 3000 sq ft.

Mojo Holleman is an anomaly as it was a great deal. We learned with that location that 3,400 sq ft is too big.

Took Mrs. Dustoff00 there for the first time last night...

She had the Puffy Arrachera taco and I have one of my favorites the Low Rider Arrachera... Her only issue was the Puffy was so good, she will want to get it every time, and that doesn't allow her to try other items that all look good.

Got Queso and of course finished with the Churros for one; I call it that because I usually keep them all to myself, but this time I split them with her because I couldn't hide them from her.

Wife wanted to know when you would start offering Margarita's, so we could make some late night stops before heading home. Not sure if Alcohol is/was in the plans for this location...
