Verdes Grill

​Stopped by Verde’s for dinner this past Saturday. We decided to dine at the bar, as the STL Cardinals game was just starting on the TV behind the bar!!! Met Brandon working behind the bar, who turned out to be one of the owners, and originally from my home state of MO, and also a HUGE Cardinals fan! His Cardinals baseball cap was a giveaway! LOL It felt like it was going to be a good night… and it was! We started with complimentary chips and salsa, which was delicious​: super crispy ​corn tortilla ​chips, lightly salted, and a very fresh, salsa with just the right amount of heat. We ordered a couple of appetizers, the ceviche and the calabaza cakes. The ceviche was super fresh, and the fried flour tortilla chips served alongside made a good pairing. The liquid wasabi ​drizzled beneath the chips was a bit of a surprise, but​, alongside the mango drizzle, it was good. The calabaza cakes are spaghetti squash and stewed chicken atop a poblano cream sauce. A tasty and delicious combination, and the cream sauce was sublime! For entrees, we enjoyed ​t​he fish tacos and shrimp ​​moho dishes. The ingredients in both dishes were super fresh, freshly prepared, and seasonings were on point. Simply put, both entrées were outstanding! We tried several margaritas during​ ​our meal, and we would have to say that the Skinny Holly was our favorite. We were too full to even think about dessert, so we will have to save that for next time. Ending the evening on an incredibly high note, Brandon allowed us to take an empty bottle of one of our favorite tequilas served at the restaurant, Clase Azul Reposado. Excellent tequila, in a hand-painted pottery bottle. I can also vouch for the Verde’s grilling seasoning sold at the bar. ​ I used it the following night at home, and it is outstanding…​ Great people, great food! We’ll definitely be back!!! I do need to apologize for some of the photos included with this review​; as noted above, there was a ​Cardinals' ​baseball game on​,​ so I did not get pictures of some of the dishes until they were partially eaten! LOL Update December 2023 Verde's delivers quality Tex-Mex food. Another good meal enjoyed recently... the complimentary chips and salsa are da bomb! Light crisp chips, and the salsa tastes like it just came out of the garden... super fresh ingredients! We had a couple of the "Lime in the Coconut" cocktails, reminiscent of a pina colada, but better, and not too sweet. Very good. For food, we settled on the pollo flautas (chicken flautas) and the fish tacos. Both were very good, and the flautas were some of the best we've ever had. The tacos were stuffed full of fish and fresh veggies. We sat at the bar this visit, and the bartender was super-busy, so not much time to visit. Recommend Verde's for good Tex-Mex in the Dripping Springs area.

We used Verde's for our wedding. Verde's is, without a doubt, the most delicious Tex Mex food you'll ever have. Typically, wedding food falls into the category of dry and uninspiring, something guests begrudgingly consume. However, our experience with Verde's shattered that stereotype! The cocktail hour passed appetizers were a massive hit, and to top it all off, we had a queso bar - an absolute crowd pleaser! The food at dinner was so incredibly scrumptious that our wedding guests couldn't get enough, going back for seconds and thirds! But what truly stood out was the exceptional service provided by Alanna and Cody. Alanna ensured that I, the bride, had tastes of everything at the wedding - which if you have ever been a bride you know it's hard to eat! Cody roasted a whole pig pig per our request and was even kind enough to re-create a sauce my husband makes as a topping since that was special to us. Alanna and Cody are not only culinary talents but also some of the kindest people we've had the pleasure of working with. They invested time in meticulously going over our menu, ensuring every detail was perfect and that we were more than happy with their offerings. Their combination of remarkable food and a genuine, caring approach is a true rarity. Our wedding attendees are still raving about the food, and if that isn't a testament to its greatness, I don't know what is. We wholeheartedly recommend Verde's for anyone seeking exceptional food and service on their special day.

Although service was ok, food took over an hour to get. Which is understandable at times but not once did manager make appearance to address the many tables complaining. Probably spent extra $30 cause long wait on drinks. On a good note usually great service and experiences , and the updates they are doing are nice.
