Alfredo's Restaurant-Pecos, Texas

The camphost at Tra Park recommended we eat at Alfredo's Restaurant and since Alfredo's also advertises in the park's booklet we figured we'd give it a try. Oh, boy, are we ever glad we did. I got to say it is probably one of the top 3 Mexican restaurants I've ever eaten in...yes, that good!

The outside is humble looking, but it is clean.

The chunky salsa had medium heat and was homemade with the chips served nice and warm. The menu had great combination selections, more expensive specialities like fajitas, but also American foods like hamburgers and shrimp. A little bit for everyone's taste.

We all ordered pretty much the same thing - 2B - which contained 2 cheese enchilada with a terrific red sauce, 1 beef taco and 1 chile rellano, along with rice and beans. All that for only $6.95. Oh, my goodness, was it wonderful. I usually don't like red sauce because it is bitter to my taste. But this red sauce was mild and full of tangy flavor. The chile rellano were perfect with a traditional meringue coating. Even the rice had good flavor, which you don't usually find. All in all it was an excellent meal. For dessert we had two orders of sopapillas which are kind of like a square donut without a hole. They were served with cinnamon sugar and honey and butter you could add. Our server named Easter (because she was born on Easter day) was friendly and attentive and had a great smile.

The food was so good we came back again tonight. Art was again on duty behind the register and remember us, so pretty soon we were delivered a plate of refried beans appetizers. Yummo-o-o.

So if you are ever in Pecos, Texas, definitely stop by Alfredo's Restaurant, at 1002 South Cedar Street. You will be happy you did!
