DK MARIAS

On tonight's date we went to DK Maria's and had a great time. 

1807 W Slaughter Ln, Austin, TX 78748 By Slaughter and Manchaca in South Austin.

We ordered the Queso Flameado (A suggestion from the list) Chicken Fajitas, and Pork Tamales with Two Deep Eddy Lemon Vodka and Sprites. We were driving up from house shopping in San Marcos and got there about an hour till close, but you couldn't tell, both the food and the service was great. We got two drinks, two meals, and an appetizer for $42 plus tip which is great for the amount of food that we got. We both went home stuffed and with leftovers. I was pretty full splitting only the Queso Flameado. Then our food came out!

The Queso Flameado was good, but it's not Tex-Mex cheese dip like you might be thinking. This is a fajita plate (a cast iron plate if you have never eaten fajitas) with Monterrey Jack cheese, Chorizo, Onions, Peppers, mushrooms, the whole shebang. You can dip your chips in it Scoop it onto your chip with a fork (we did that) but it comes with either corn or flour tortillas for you to scoop the fried and melty cheese into and eat it like a taco. It is really filling and you could easily eat it as an entree.

PROTIP: Elevate one side of the Queso Flameado so that the grease runs off to one side. When you heat cheese or chorizo, the grease will separate, so drain it off to one side and enjoy the rest. 

We were going to split an order of chicken fajitas but we decided to add a half dozen pork tamales because I ate all the tamales we had last time we got them and Amber only got one. (my bad...)

The fajitas were good, they came out sizzling with a bowl of Lettuce, Tomatoes, Guacamole and Sour Cream. We got half and half flour and corn tortillas. The flour tortillas were cooked well and not burned, the corn tortillas were moist, I would recommend both because they were both good.

We got great service even though we arrived 50 minutes to close. The food came out quickly and the two drinks between the two of us were enough to make us go home feeling great. (Thanks bartender.)

Holy potatoes was this a good meal. Maybe it was the fact that we had spent all day driving around and shopping, maybe it was our one drink each, but we really enjoyed ourselves. I would go back anytime. 

Thanks for the suggestion!
