Tell me the absolute best place to eat lunch in Eagle Pass

[Patricio Swayze 17,058]

Well?

[DalTxHornFan 3,101]

I'm thinking: 

Laredo Taco Company at Stripes

Here is the menu:

2093 N Veterans Blvd, Eagle Pass, TX 78852

Good luck in that hellhole

[Helobious 9,454]

Im a border rat but I’ve never a actually been to eagle pass. Or Del Rio for that matter.

[po elvis 2,070]

besides the snack bar at the casino, only place i have eaten at is Super Tacos Morales. i eat tacos at so many places in south Texas i don't exactly recall how good they are, but I do remember them as being good. their mollejas tacos i did have to go up and order some after having a bite of my GF's. they were excellent.

the menudo at the casino snack bar is great late night eating.

A Laredo Taco Company taco in a pinch is not horrible, especially if they have the salsa bar. The pico and salsas aren’t bad..

Have family who have owned a pecan orchard in Eagle Pass for over 100 years. Been down there several dozen times (not in 10+ years) — and I got nothin’. I’d tell you to go across to Piedras Negras but it’s not safe over there anymore.

[RPM 26,321]

Look for an old Mexican woman selling tamales out of an ice chest. Can't go wrong.

[conVINCEd 21,469]

The place in Piedras Negras that claims they invented the nacho is pretty good, but it’s been 15+ years.

I'd pick a laredo taco breakfast taco over most options in austin

[Brisketexan 105,142]

EP and Piedras is my family's home turf (dad was an all-district lineman on their district champion team in '54).  But I haven't been down there in 20 years.  And all of the legendary places are gone.

The Charcoal, an institution for great burgers?  Gone.

El Moderno in Piedras (birthplace of the nacho)?  Gone.

I got nothin'.  I imagine there are some decent taquerias around, there always were back in the day.

[closetohumping 17,442]

Panda Express?

[chainsaw 9,869]

Doesn't seem like many people have reason to be there. I'd probably just go with whatever has the best reviews, especially if the reviewers are from out of town and not the locals who'd review a Chilis.

[Nueces River Rat 5,539]

Chruch's Fried Chicken

[Patricio Swayze 17,058]

You motherfuckers.

[Patricio Swayze 17,058]

Parrilla de San Miguel?

[RollLeft 5,045]

I cross there every few months, coming back from Mexico, and the burritos at the Minit Mart (Flying J) on Main/57 are on par with Allsups. All i got.

This ^
And pick up a new liver or kidney too while you’re at it.

[deac_tracy 516]

This is probably the best restaurant in EP. Every time I see family there that’s where we go. Either that or one of the restaurants at the Lucky Eagle.

[deac_tracy 516]

Actually now that I think about it Choche’s bbq made tx monthly’s honorable mention list. Never been but that’s an option as well

[Gordon Shumway 452]

Parrilla de San Miguel is pretty decent.  I've been down for work a couple times and its then only place i've been.

[BigNastyHorn 28]

Folks still live there and was down there a few weeks ago.  They go to Loma Bonita Restaurant every morning for breakfast and two hour long coffee chat with their friends. They do lunch as well. 

Yopos is a good mexican restaurant it's on Main. Tacos Morales is always a solid choice as well.  if you're there late night on Saturday swing by Piedras Negras Tortilla Factory for some fresh barbacoa and tortillas. 

That's all I got.

She has a cart.  That's too fancy.  It needs to be a cooler toted around in a shitty red wagon.

 

Also, back when the Skillets was the Kettle, they had an off-menu item (probably not sanctioned by Kettle HQ) -- menudo, and it was one of the best restaurant menudos I've ever had.  Don't think they do it anymore.  Because this world is going all to hell.

Or a cooler that is in the back of a pickup while the hood of the truck is up being worked on by the husband.

The cart belonged to the elotes lady. The lady that was selling the worst tamales that I’ve ever had in my life had a cooler and a chair. This was 2004 in front of Fuel City.

Google Maps shows no fewer than two Mexican buffets. Hit up both of those and give us reviews in case we also die and go to hell.

Used to go there quite a bit, but it's been a few years since I don't go into Mexico anymore. It was always fairly solid. Decent steaks. Good luck down there.....

Hahaha. I would watch that show, but I don’t want to participate. Jesus.
