100% honest review. If you're looking for gentrified Mexican food, the this is the place for you. It's not authentic whatsoever...so don't expect it to be. Its not like the OG Plaza at all. Lets start with the complimentary chips and salsa. Greasy chips and metallic garlicy salsa...nope. I then got the carne guisada/enchilada plate. What I got was basically tough beef tips in salty gravy...the seasonings were...horrendous. Think, country style beef tips and gravy with cumin and garlic in it to make it "exotic". And, yes, I've had guisada from several Mexican and other latin owned establishments (even outside of Lubbock). This one wasn't it. One bite and I couldn't touch it any more. The enchilada...let me tell you that the "queso" is out of a can. The cheese looked like it was on Ozempic and anemic. The corn tortillas...that's Mission brand 100%. The refried beans were decent. The frozen margaritas...strong...but that was fine with me. Atmosphere...it's giving Taco Tuesday at the RNC. My friend and I are latino. He's Mexican and I'm Cuban. We felt so out of place. Not a drop of melanin or ethinicity in that establishment. The original Plaza (granted it was almost 10 years ago) had better ambiance than this place. Given the area it's built in...it tracks. Literally a box with tables and canteens from Party City for decorative lights...that didn't work. If you've made it this far, I'm currently at home recovering. Does this review sound dramatic?...depends. But we were...disappointed doesn't even cover it. HEB pays better homage to Mexican food.

Don't waste your time or money. While the service was excellent and the atmosphere as expected, the food was awful. The salsa tasted like it came out of jar, the queso was reheated cheese whiz, the guisada sauce had decent flavor but the meat was hard and tasteless, and the beef enchilada with red sauce was inedible with the meat having the consistency of dog food. I've heard mixed reviews on the Plaza but now firmly side with those who say they'll never go back. There are better Tex-mex options in town, don't waste your time or money on this place.

I have been 3 times with my family (and they go all the time). We love it. The food, service and atmosphere have always been great. The only thing I would knock is their margaritas...could use a little TLC. However, many of their other drinks are great. I'm just a picky margarita dude. Also, they took care of 15 of us quite well. The hostesses did an excellent job of giving a polite and professional first impression. I just moved to Lubbock and will definitely be going there. I had Chicken Fajita Nachos last time and they were delicious. Give it a shot!

Found a hair in my food, but aside from that the food itself was really good. The manager handled the situation very well and took care of the issue by covering the meal. Overall, it was a good experience and I appreciate how professionally it was handled.

Hadn’t been here for a few years so we decided to give the Slide location a try. We were impressed overall. Great service. Delicious food. Chips arrived hot. It did take awhile for the food to arrive at our table when it wasn’t all that busy inside the restaurant but when it arrived, it was hot and delicious. Overall, we were very impressed with our second visit… much more so than our first at the Milwaukee location. Would definitely come back again.
