Burger Tex (Guadalupe)

Zach:  So Burger Tex was up to bat again.  I don't think we were super excited because we have all had Burger Tex enough to know it's always solid, but perhaps not amazing.  Before the Burger craze hit Burger Tex definitely would be at the top of many Austin burger lists but now it's just hanging back in the middle.  As expected it was good.  My burger though was a bit on the dry side.  The bread, while good and fresh, overwhelms the smallish patty.  I asked for two pieces of cheese as it seems they never quite give you enough.  Not 100% sure I got two slices but I think I did and it still wasn't really enough.  Overall a solid burger as indicated by the scores but certainly probably not a high enough score to get out of this round. 
 The sides on this particular night though were great.  Finally some onion rings that are actually golden brown and greasy and the onion is actually cooked until soft and is not still hard or crispy inside the shell.  Together with the battered fries which are always good, I couldn't have been much happier.  This location is friendly and cleaner than the others but atmosphere is pretty blah.  Value is always solid since the meals are always pretty consistent here.
