El Real Tex Mex in the downtown tunnel is the bomb! The lady that works the register is so sweet and personable. She emits a positive energy so strong that you can feel it the minute you walk through the entrance. The food is great and at a very reasonable price. 5 ⭐ and 2

The cashier was very friendly. I never knew lettuce could be salty. I got the steak bowl and the meat was a bit salty, the salsas were a bit salty. The rice and beans were subpar. The quantities of the meat rice and beans were on the low side. The rice & beans are cheap, so they could have at added more of those.

I really wanted to like this place so that I had another option for lunch but unfortunately I will not be coming back. I had the steak nachos, I think that the meat was dry and bland. The nachos included beans, these were also dry. The cheese was very thick and the chips were not the right type for nachos. They would benefit from changing the chips to a thinner chip, serving juicy meat, adding lettuce, tomato, and guacamole. All in all the food lacked seasoning and was very bland. I was there with a friend and she also thought the food was bland, she had a chicken quesadilla.
