I second El Paseo, good stuff.

La Taqueria Rio grande in Glen Rose has a mean fish tostado. It is served with fresh avacado slices on top. It's awesome.

FisherMen you're talking about Memo's in DelRio, yeah it's ok.
My favorite is Manuels in Acuna,great food ,great atmosphere.I like Hildago's in Coleman,Cristovaland San Angelo. In Ft stockton there a place called Peppito's(i think)is good but i'll try Sarah's next time. Jeorge's in Midland. Mercado's in Tyler.Alamo cafe in San Antonio,Mi Tierra,Papasito's,heck there is a bunch in San Antone. Tina's in Zapata or Parisio is real good there too. I know i've misspelled most of these but i'm sure ya'll can find 'em. I've got a lot of Mexican food to try out there! thanks fer the info.

you spend too much time on the road jigro, all those in west texas are in my old stomping grounds brings back a lot of good memories....

Christina's is definitely delicious!

For a short time, there was a place called Patron's, up in Highland Village/Flower Mound area...GREAT food, GREAT service, and cheap prices...

Sadly, I guess it was too cheap, they were only open about six months. Sucks.

And yeah, while I know it's a chain, I'm also quite partial to my local El Chico's. Always great service and tasty food, love their gaucomole and their Gaudalajara tacos with Shrimp.

Papasita's in Gun Barrel

Outside a Fiesta in San Antonio Tejas there is a little old lady that will hand you heaven rapped in tin foil. I'm not kidding, you could bottle her burritos or fajitas and she could make a fortune.

Los Cucos. We always went to the one in New Braunsfels after a drunken day of floating the river but I know they are everywhere.

Also Don'Key in Pasadena. I grew up with the owner's son.

When I was running to Harlingen with building materials for Cameron Wholesale back in the mid 80's, there was a cafe in Three Rivers, Texas named Carter's I beleive, man they had some damn good Mexican food, also there was a place in Raymondville right on 77 at a red light in town that was a good place to eat, cannot recall the name of the place. I dunno if these places are still open or not, but they were really good!

Jaliscos in Temple. Best enchaladas on the planet!

Being retired military I have lived and traveled extensively, and in MHO you haven't eaten the best until you have eaten at El Charro in Tyler, Texas. There are two locations, Fifth street and West Erwin. The West Erwin is the oldest and has been around for over forty years. This location also serves great Margaritas as well as their food is all made from scratch. They cook their own chips and have a special sauce for them that is unreal. All the food is prepared by authentic Mexican chefs. They are watched over very close by the Remeriz family.
When you visit let Tony, Gus, or Rudy know I said "Hello".
Bon Apetit

Will do!

If you are up in Denison, Las Brisas is very good and has very reasonable prices. I get crispy tacos and I do not have to season them with salt at all. Their salsa is very good on them but they are great with or without salsa.

Starless, I favor El Chico's too. Their tortilla soup is out of this world. Grilled seasoned chicken, alvacado slices, monterey jack cheese, and a broth that will make you want to slap your mama. Add a couple of spoonfulls of salsa and you are very happy.

Their guacamole, tacos, enchilladas are all very good. I am addicted to their tortilla soup.

jigro...

I'll be out Ft. Stockton way later this year... I will have to give Peppito's a try. You'll have to give me some directions before I go!

my wife

I've not been much of an El Chico's fan ever since I had the swirly margarita with several dead flies in the bottom. Man, it's harder to suck a dead fly through a straw than you would think!

They didn't charge me for the drink though! This particular El Chico's was in Wichita Falls.

Teg - The only El Chico I've been too is the one in Flower Mound, and so far it's been nothing but great. Fast service and great food.

Maybe the Fly incident was just a one time thing, or you were at a bad location lol.

Starless:

I sure hope it was a one time thing. Even though I didn't taste anything, a fly would not be my first choice if I took a notion to eat an insect. A worm marinating in mescal would be much better.

the shed in santa fe is my all time favorite sangria is killer
at tawakoni we have two great places- tamerias and monroy's

If you're in Del Rio go across the border and find Manuel's....it's awesome.

There used to be a little place in Hobbs, N.M. named Mc Elroy's I think , they had the biggest & best chili rellenos that I've ever senn or eaten anywhere!! It was right on 62/180 in town on the south side going towards Carlsbad! I stopped in there at least once a week in the early 90's! It was great, I wonder if they are still open? Does anyone know?

I would have to say Requardo Marques? It's in San Antonio..



and then further south..


Manuels on South Padre Island

I am from Houston. However, the resturant below gets my vote for the best Mexican food in Texas. Prices are great, service is terrific, and the food is unbelieveable.
