The story, as I've heard it on many occasions, is that the original restaurant owners took a trip to Mexico and "saw" a bordello with the name Blue Goose. Hence the nombre. This is some of the best traditional Tex-Mex for your dinero that you'll find. Yes, I've been to Joe T. Garcia's in Fort Worth, Mi Tierra's in San Antonio and Matt's El Rancho in Austin.
The decor is as colorful as you'd expect, but gone is the mariachi music. It's been replaced by satellite. There's also a cute little wall-mounted touch screen juke box. Dos Equis is on tap plus 18 or so different brands of beer in bottles. Tequila by Jose Cuervo and the sip-and-enjoy Patrón. The frozen margaritas are very popular but in my opinion the lime taste is too strong.
The menu should satisfy all Tex-Mex tastes but the basics bring the regulars back. Try the refried beans. There's even a brunch on weekends. Huevos execelente. But eating the famous nachos should be on everyone's bucket list.
