Bolsa Review by The Burbanist

Blog· Food and Drinks· Reviews

I think it’s pretty clear from my blog that I’m saving my bills to move to Kessler Park.

Did Bolsa on Friday night and enjoyed the hell out of it. The food was solid and worth a drive, and the drinks are WHERE IT’S AT. I asked for the spicy Whiskey Fizz and my stomach hasn’t burned that much since Pitmaster Will made ‘special’ habanero stuffed jalapenos for our group at Lockhart Smokehouse last week.

More effective than Colyte.
Don’t worry, I got this.

Incredibly good & spicy Whiskey Fizz with habeñero and passionfruit. Bolsa.
Dispatched some ginger tout de suite.
Ginger Mint Gimlet.
You could make a trip just for the bruschetta tasting and cocktails.
Outstanding bruschetta.

 

Tender redfish.

 

White Chocolate Rum Tile.

This restaurant is in an old, converted garage and is heavy on atmosphere. The outdoor patio is decked out with light-wrapped trees with a few bar stools and many tables.  The outdoor and indoor bar areas get full fast so overflow is outside in the parking lot. It’s actually quite nice since there are chairs available.

The restaurant specializes in local, naturally raised and organic food which is, you know, pretty flagrant.  I thought parking would be a nightmare since there is no valet (Quit judging. I don’t look to be on the business end of a 187), but we found a space at the old Gloria’s across the street.  Our group of eight SHUT THAT JOINT DOWN as we were the last ones out at fifteen past 11. I know restaurants love that shit.
And sorry I don’t have any of my usual, awesome pictures of atmospherics, but I try to look like a douche only once a night and I had already tripped over one of the cement blocks in the parking lot.
No reservations and will only seat complete parties.

Robyn Folmar is a one-time city girl now living in the suburbs because of the great small business she owns. She won’t let non-stop construction and apocalyptic traffic stop her from finding the best food and drinks in the Metroplex. Currently obsessed with the Chicken Liver Crostini at Lucia.

      Thanks, Keith. It’s always hopping & definitely worth the drive even if you aren’t in Kessler. Takes me a cool hour to get there with construction – but worth it. Check out my recent post on Bolsa’s Oswald Corridor. Cheers, brother!

    Switching the attic fan on for a few hours a day can help to eliminate the problem.

    Police say Wednesday night’s fight had at least 10 people involved.

One of my favorite things about 2020.... businesse One of my favorite things about 2020.... businesses adapting and making things work! I was recently introduced to @savageburritos and I'm in love.  Savage Burritos is the love child of Uncle Julios so it you like UJ, you'll love Savage.  They are a delivery only service offering burritos and bowls from select Uncle Julio kitchens in DFW. We ordered a variety of items from burritos, bowls, queso and more. Every single item was bursting with flavor. If you like spicy,  I highly recommend the Nashville Hot Chicken Burrito. 🔥 Don't forget to add on a Margarita pop - nothing beats alcohol and Mexican food delivered straight to your door!

I know this year has dragged on and on for many pe I know this year has dragged on and on for many people but it has flown by to me. I'm 100% sure it has something to do with welcoming Myles into this world during the height of a pandemic and keeping a toddler alive at the same time.  I can't wait for Christmas morning to make memories with my little family (even though Christmas shopping isn't complete and I haven't even thought about wrapping presents). It will all fall in to place, it always does. We didn't attend our favorite Christmas events this year or get pictures with Santa so this random Santa picture will do and I'm 100% happy with it.  If this year has taught you anything,  let it be finding the joy in the little things ❤
The holidays are quickly approaching! 🎄 Althoug The holidays are quickly approaching! 🎄 Although things might be a bit different this season, we're still enjoying some of our favorite foods and traditions. This year we're incorporating ordering family meal kits from @chuysrestaurant for not only my family but extended family that we might not be able to hang with this holiday.  It's a simple way to spread the joy with loved ones, eat delicious food and not forget the reason for the season.  #ad #nachoaverageholiday
Family pictures are always so much fun.... this ye Family pictures are always so much fun.... this year we got to attempt it twice thanks to sweet Bryce.  Thankfully the second time around he cooperated. As painful as they may be,  I'm so glad we get these done every year. I love looking back at them and see how much we've all changed and how much the kids have grown!
Can y'all believe the end of the year is here? We Can y'all believe the end of the year is here? We got our family pictures back and they look great other than the fact that Bryce decided not to participate. We got one shot with my entire family and Bryce is off to the side playing in poison ivy. 🤦‍♀️

I wanted to send a quick thank you for all the birthday love yesterday! Birthdays are not my favorite day but it was nice to hear from so many people. Here's to another year around the sun ❤
This weekend we ventured to @kidzaniausa, a city r This weekend we ventured to @kidzaniausa, a city ran completely by kids. Your child gets to fully immerse themselves into role playing any job they can imagine. From checking animals at the veterinarian, putting out fires as a firefighter,  flying planes in an simulator, creating their own personal logo with Bic, or being a weatherman at WFAA - the options are endless! Kidzania activities are for ages 4 and up.

We felt very comfortable inside with their safety protocols. Temperatures were checked before entering.  Everybody ages 4 and up must wear a mask.  Hand sanitizer was readily available throughout the entire space.  If you're looking for a fun outlet for your child to explore, check it out!
