Blue Goose Cantina LTO Menu + Cinco de Mayo

Blue Goose Cantina is our go-to-spot for made-from-scratch, authentic and fresh Mexican food. They recently added some terrific limited-time entrées and cocktails crafted by Augie’s Cocina to their spring menu, so we stopped by the Grand Prairie location for a lunch tasting. The new dishes and beverages are available at all seven North Texas locations, but we’re partial to the Grand Prairie location with its friendly team directed by GM Zeke Hernandez.

Astral Tequila is a bright-tasting, super-premium tequila made with 100% Blue Weber Agave, while Ancho Reyes Verde is the only poblano chili liquor in the world, made with 100% Mexican raw materials.

Tajín® Clásico Seasoning blends chili peppers, lime, and sea salt for an extra flavorful kick.Standout Blue Goose LTO Menu ItemsMy favorite Blue Goose LTO menu items were the Chipotle Shrimp Enchiladas and Chile Rellenos; both dishes were perfectly seasoned and satisfying. My husband preferred the not-too-spicy Milanesa De Res Bien Vestida or flank steak sandwich.

The huge sandwich was served with a side of delicious, creamy elote that I talked him into sharing with me.We both enjoyed the Tacos Al Pastor with flavorful marinated pork. Per his request they left off the spicy cremosa drizzle on his tacos.

This is just one of the reasons we love the Grand Prairie location with its special brand of hospitality. GM Hernandez goes the extra mile to make sure his diners “have it their way.”Cinco de Maya Festival May 3-5Blue Goose Cantina is also planning a three-day Cinco de Maya Festival May 3-5 at all seven locations (Frisco, Plano, Highland Village, McKinney, Grapevine, and Fort Worth along with Grand Prairie).
