Skillet's Restaurant — Restaurant in Del Rio

It is decidedly average. Maybe a little below that. Ok definitely below that, depending on what you get. I Stayed in the hotel next door for a couple days and this place was convenient and inexpensive, and I'm sometimes too optimistic, so I went there a few times.

The actual waitresses are really nice. They do good work. The other lady that sometimes carries orders out, but isn't actually a waitress, is off-putting. She seems annoyed, just in general.

Breakfast burrito is dry, not good. They don't give you any salsa or sour cream with it. The best you got to get this honker to slide down your gullet is the oil from the cheap cheddar cheese that separated a bit as it melted.

The hash browns in it taste like they were cooked a few hours ago and nuked. The eggs taste like everything on the flat top kind of mixed together. I think there was sausage or something in there too, but I honestly couldn't make it out. It was kind of like they scraped up the stuff on the side of the grill and rolled it up in a burrito with some soggy hash browns and called it a day.

The chicken fajita was not as bad as the breakfast burrito, but not as good as it should be for a border town. The chicken was, you guessed it, dry, but even worse it was bland and actually pale. I think one piece of green pepper had a little bit of char on it, the rest of the veggies looked like it was cooked with a hot shower.

The refried beans were apparently only fried once, something just not right there. They were also weirdly pale and runny, and pretty flavorless. Maybe the Lid popped off during that hot shower? Anyway, the pico was good though. Asked for corn tortillas, got flour. I'm getting used to the disappointment.

I swear the chicken tortilla soup came from a can. If that isn't progresso soup I'll eat another helping of those runny beans.

The club sandwich was actually quite good! The mac and cheese was also pretty good. I wish they'd stop with the cheap cheddar and start using some creamier cheeses in there, but hey, it's a choice. It's fine, especially if you like cheddar.

I don't usually complain about this, but when their air conditioning kicks on the giant vents above the kitchen blow straight to the front, blasting you with icy wind if you sit along the front windows, so avoid doing that. Please, it's not pleasant.

In the end, just skip it. Los Betos across the street is FAR superior...

Omg we stopped on our way out of town. Probably the worst customer service ive had in awhile. When we arrived their were quite a few people waiting to pay at register and we made eye contact with the cashier she just looked at us and kept on doing her thing. After checking out 2 parties she makes eye contact and says itll be a minute ...no problem. All the while employees are standing behing the counter chatting. When cashier was finished doing her thing she looked at us and said we could sit there and pointed at a table we were standing next to.. my husband with our 2 infants had been standing in the entryway for 10 minutes just to have her say sit there. Fine. After another 15 minutes someone came by and said have we decided what we want. No menus or anything. When she gave us our menues i didnt let her run away we placed our orders before she could disappear on us. Glad we did we got our drinks and food all together after 20 or so minutes.... the high chairs they had were all sticky when i tried asking for a rag to clean it myself i gave up on seeing an emoloyee after 5 minutes of standing at the register. Next time well be going...

We have been coming here for the past 2 week's. We are working in the area.

But be careful with the pancakes I found a piece of medal shavings in my pancake.

I was very nice and polite about it, i could have complain to the manager but I didn't. The waitress was a little aggressive when I told her my partner did not want to eat his pancakes. She said I still have to charge his plate ok well at least take the pancakes off but she didn't.

The waitress could have been a little nicer about things. I wasn't expecting a free meal just deduct the pancakes. She told my partner that they will charge her for his plate if she takes the pancakes off the bill and that the owner will deduct it from her paycheck. I was like wow that's ridiculous. I won't be coming here...
