CarolinaGirl06, I'm glad you understand! I have bought the queso blanco from a Hispanic grocery store, and made it myself, and it was pretty darn good, but DJD is right, there's nothing like a late night restaurant trip for queso (plus a big pitcher of margaritas!). Thanks to Madrid for the EC Grill tip. You're right, it's not perfect, but I'd be interested to see what farmer's cheese queso tastes like anyways. I guess for now I'll stick with the delicious margaritas and chips at Border Cafe, even if the star isn't there.

I'm looking for the best simple queso in town. I've tried Border Cafe,Cactus Club, and Fajitas and Ritas but they're too orange, cheddar-y tasting with too many peppers, etc in them. I'm looking for queso in the queso blanco style, just straight up delicious - emphasis on the mild cheese flavor, not the peppers, tasso, or beef. Any ideas? At this point I'll try anything, even a place with not-so-great chips.

Thanks chowfolks!
