Restaurants that absolutely suck

I'm not a huge fan of cilantro. What restaurants are you going to?

No, not everything in Texas is the right way to do things. With that said, I have had Mexican food in 8 states and "tex-mex" is as good as I have found, (and yes, I have had authentic mexican food).

By the way, "Queso Blanco" means white cheese. Not Mexican cheese. Bottom line, it looks like what I am looking for is Chili con queso.

Temperature-hot salsa, yeah, probably a Texas thing. I just prefer it a great deal over the other options. This place serves it, and they have a number of restaurants around Waco/Temple/Killeen. Maybe they have some in Dallas - I dunno, but they count all of them, (Mexican Grille #2, #3, etc...).

As far as the restaurants - I don't even remember all of their names. I ate at Las Palmas, Cancun, Monterrey, and several other "mom and pop" restaurants. No luck... At least I have found that most everyone can make a pretty good Chimi.

ha ha ha! I know what blanco means. You don't even need basic Spanish lessons to know that. I was saying that queso blanco is the traditional normal Mexican queso dip. white cheese is also used in queso fundido.

I like las palmas, the one near me is good. I do know that some of them aren't great, though. Maybe the one near you is one of those.

Mazatlan is also decent. Rosepepper cantina is the best, though.

I haven't tried either of your two suggestions, but will definitely try Rosepepper Cantina since you say it is the best. I will give a review once I get that way.
