Benito’s on Magnolia
I guess I just don’t like “authentic” Mexican food. Benito’s wasn’t BAD, necessarily, but it wasn’t the best Mexican I’ve had. Of course, I haven’t had good restaurant Mexican in a while, I’ve been cooking my own Fajitas and whatnot at home.The beer was definitely cold, and served in 19 oz. schooners, which is always a pleasant surprise. The ambiance was nice, as well, with the biggest plant I’ve ever seen inside a building. The decor is appropriately “Mexican-y.” The nicest touch, in my opinion was the guide to ordering at a Mexican restaurant printed in the front of the menu… It explained a few things that I’d been wondering and helped me make sense of their terms, etc.So, my verdict is: Not GREAT, but not horrible. I might go back and try something different.
