We've been meaning to get to this restaurant since it opened. Tonight we headed off to BAB to take advantage of Liberty Steakhouse "buy one get one" January special. We arrived at 6 PM and were told it would be over an hour before we could be seated. We decided it would be a good night to try

Just as everyone has said, the décor is wonderful. The menu is extensive, price is reasonable, and service was good.
I ordered the Steak Banderillas. A skewer of seasoned steak and fresh vegetables, wood-grilled and basted with ancho chile marinade. Served with spicy pinto beans and something that looked like mashed potatoes with a lot of cheese. I don't do mashed potatoes, even with cheese, so I gave these to Wally and he pronounced them good. My entrée: $12.99
Wally had the Sizzling Fajitas, a combination of chicken and steak. It came with the usual guacamole, sour cream, shredded cheeses, pico de gallo and four tortillas. I tasted both the chicken and steak, plus I got most of the onions and all the red peppers (But if you'll recall - he got all my mashed potatoes.) Wally's entrée: $11.99
They bring nachos and dip to table when you are seated. Appetizer prices range from $5.99 to $8.99. There is a children's menu consisting of 8 menu choices, fries or beans or rice and a glass of milk or a soft drink, all for $4.99. Salad prices are from $5.99 - $8.49.
Platters and Combinations average $10.00 and House Specialties run from $10.99 - $16.99. Desserts include Margarita Pie with Tequila Sauce $4.99, Dulce De Leche Cheesecake $4.99, Dessert Nachos $4.99, Tres Leches Cake $4.99 and Traditional Flan $3.99.
