We go to Blue Frog to drink crack-aritas at the bar.  I like the food alright...we've eaten there quite a few times and been happy with it.  I usually get the camaronnes brochette and Mr. Susi-Q gets the burrito.  It hasn't killed us yet.  The margaritas have given us some killer hangovers but I can't blame Blue Frog for that :D

I guess it could be worse:

I am always amazed that this place stays packed.

i have never been and have no incentive to, however it is important to note that this article is nine years old.



It is an old article, but I think the big takeaway from it is the potential for unsafe practices with food prep. Those really quick to table combo plates have never been a favorite of mine because of the low quality and now I can add that the unsafe factor. Plus, the ground beef in those things never has any flavor and that is a crime against bovinity. Also, I like their cheese w/ chorizo dip. Greasy, but oh so good.

Regular restaurant dirty or Cantina La Casita cave-like dirty?
I am not super impressed with Matador their food is SO SALTY and I love salt so for me to think there is too much is saying something. Go Sox can attest to my liking salty.


Bingo ... I got a bowl of chicken tortilla soup there that was so salty I sent it back.  I don't like the place... It is also kind of dirty.

. Close to clc dirty... But not quite as bad...



OK, so you think Matadors or Blue Frog is dirty???  Just curious.  I think Blue Frog is a dirtier, but they've been open way longer.

We use to be big Blue Frog fans and ate there regularly several years ago. The food is decent but nothing special, they have great margaritas and the wait staff was personable and attentive. We new them by name, they new us and what we usually drank and ate. We moved away from the village for a year and came back last October. We have been going there less and less since moving back. They have totally new staff who pretty much ignore you. You frequently stand next to the "Wait to be seated" sign for 10 minutes before anyone acknowledges you (including bartenders who are 5 feet away). Once you are seated you frequently have to wait again for someone to take your order. Once you get your food you don't see your waitress again until you're done eating. They always seem understaffed and the staff they do have now are so NOT personable.

We went in this past Saturday, for the first time in months (we use to eat there 2-3 times a month) to give them a try again.  It was the worst experience yet with them and it is very unlikely we will be back anytime soon.

Dont even get me started. I was in the Rio Grande Valley last weekened. Their gas station breakfast burritos are better than any restaurant we have .

it's the cheap mexican alternative available in the village.  i don't think anyone is saying it's better than comparable restaurants outside of the village.
