Founders Don and Lynn took what could've been a liability for Huisache Grill and transformed it into a major selling point. The building in which the eatery resides was falling apart, to say the least, when they first bought it. Walls speckled with holes; a storefront that barely registered on the street; trains chugging by less than 20 feet away. Don and Lynn overlooked all of this, instead choosing to see the history that lived at 303 W. San Antonio Street. From storage shed to haunted house to antique shop, the building had seen a lot of action. Today, it features warm exposed wood overhead and underfoot, a working fireplace, and a "pavilion" area where guests can eat in the fresh air.
The ambience alone would probably be enough to draw many guests to Huisache Grill, but the fresh American fare doesn't hurt, either. Regulars suggest starting your meal with the fried brie, embellished with candied pecans, raspberry chipotle sauce, and tart Granny Smith apples. The move on to the signature chicken tortilla soup or dive right into an entree such as the hot and crunchy trout, encrusted with sesame almond breading and accompanied by jalapeno tartar sauce. Salmon, chicken, steak, and pasta round out the menu at Huisache Grill.
