I was in Chicagoland for family event, my wife and I drove around looking for something texmex. I was unfamiliar with the area and we saw the sign for T&BRG.
first impressions - its a dive. however the extremely friendly and lady at the counter answered all our questions.
the food - very flavorful overall. we both ordered combos - my wife ordered the 3 steak tacos with rice n beans, and I ordered the steak taco, steak tostada, and quesadilla with rice n beans. however we both felt the Rice was bland. I had to add pepper and hot sauce to make it palatable. the refried Beans were tasty but slightly thick. I thought maybe the beans were not fresh made.
the Steak was well seasoned. I wish there they gave us more. But it was enough for a lunch portion. Even though it was after 9pm on a Friday night when we ventured there.
love the Tostada - I could of eaten 3. they are smaller than I am used to, but it was crispy n crunchy and held its toppings well.
the Quesadilla in my meal was... well it was simple. I assumed it was more than Cheese and a Tortilla. But, well I did not know. It was exactly as it is named. Quesadilla. I wished it had something inside other than just cheese.
the Tacos were wonderful. they were small and wonderful little packages of meat, lettuce, tomato, and cheese. for me they were 2 bite tacos - I could of had about 3 or 4 more.
Next time I return to the greater Chicago area I am heading back to T&BRG.
