• Tex-Mex • Columbia City
Booked 7 times today
Tex-Mex cuisine began in the Rio Grande Valley before migrating up to San Antonio during the l860's where a group of women known as The Chili Queens' began to pop up in the city's plazas selling chili con carne with tamales, enchiladas, and chili verde. They incorporated cumin into their dishes favored by settlers from theCanary lslands, which still has a strong influence on Mexican food in Texas. Tex-Mex also loves beef, flour tortillas, yellow cheese, fajitas and more.Our inspiration comes from the many classic Tex-Mex restaurants including Sylvia's Enchilada Kitchen, Papasito's, Ninfa's, Blue Goose, Hugo's, Herrerra's Cafe, Chuy's, Valentina's Tex-Mex and many more. Jackalope combines excellent Central Texas-style smoked meats from Jack's BBQ with delicious Tex-Mex dishes. lt's truly the best of both worlds!

    Our Thanksgiving dinner was perfect. Despite it being an extremely busy night, all the staff were smiling and seemed genuinely happy to see us. Our server was outstanding, and the food was exceptional. One of the best experiences I have had at a restaurant in quite a while. We will be back!

    This is the second time we've attended Daniel's Thanksgiving dinner, having been impressed the first go round. We were not disappointed. The buffet selection was varied and of very high quality with entrees inclusive of turkey traditional, roast beef, ham, and salmon. The sides were varied with choices for every taste. As expected at a Seattle high-end restaurant the service was superb. Special requests were attended to immediately, empty dishes cleared away quickly and unobtrusively. Waitstaff were professional, knowledgeable and personable indicating exacting standards of Daniel's. We will definitely be back next year and hopefully for years to come.

    This is such a fantastic restaurant! Our adult kids love it when we treat them to the Jackalope experience. The dishes are always incredible, brisket, smoked meats, and their drink menu is equally as stellar. My husband and I tried brunch last week and were as impressed. If you have t been yet, go!

    Excellent service and food. Cocktails were creative and the beer on tap was great. The tiger prawn risotto was a bit salty. Our service took it away and brought a new one which was just right. And he said I took off a couple of drinks from your menu. Will definitely go back to try other items. Only warning is the parking in the area. The small lot we parked at charges $25 plus tax. Find street parking if you can.
