Taco Bell

I vote for El Paseo (Ft worth, azle, mineral wells). Family owned with the best food and service in the state.

Not in Texas but awfully close. Head out of El Paso to Las Cruces, NM and go to "Old Mesilla". Sunday brunch at the Eagle or any mexican food restaurant. Outstanding.

El Paso to Las Cruces!!!! My mom lives in Cruces. In El Paso all of the smaller "hole in the wall" places good. None of this tex mex junk. I work at a "Tex Mex" place and nothing compares to those places. I remember the Burrito house close to Bassstt Center and getting 15-20 for the staff. Mole, relleno, carne desebrada you name it. Most were $1.00 each. One heck of a deal.
PLUS... My mom is from Mexico. She could turn leftover lawn trimmings into feast. All our neighborhood friends would come over and always ask what she was cooking.

What ? Nobody said Pancho's ?

Gringo's in Texas City/LaMarque or Papasita's in Webster

Don'kees in Pasadena was great...don't know if it's still there or not.

Have any of u checked us out down here at Lake Fork at Tameraria's Mexican Restaurant & Cantina? We make everything from scratch, nothing is premade. If you have let me know what you thought, if you haven't, please come check us out. Bring your ID for a great margarita, or an ice cold beer.

I have various places for certian things.

Ramero's Las Brazas for pozole.
El Fenix for general tex-mex.
Gringo's for chicken enchillada's.
Baladeras for tamales.
Los Cucos for huevos rancheros.

I haven't found on place that does it all the best. I'll keep looking though knowing I'll never find it.

Cristina's in Lewisville is our all-around favorite. They have perfect salsa, great chimichangas and cheese enchiladas, and the margaritas are the best I've ever had. They also have a big grill platter thingie with ribs, fajitas and shrimp "for 2" that actually feeds the 2 of us twice. The food is consistent and the service is good without being overly helpful and annoying.

Same goes for Pepper's in Alamagordo, NM. The best red enchilladas on the face of the Earth. None better in my opinion.

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.
