Del Norte Restaurant — Restaurant in Kerrville

Despite the name, Mexican food is not the best part of this restaurant. I went here for a late breakfast and was pleasantly surprised by the few customers. It is a seat-yourself dining room, but the tables are close together. There were only a few diners when I arrived, but soon there were several tables close to mine that filled up with friendly, talkative people, much like myself, but the tables were so close it was hard to stay focused on my conversation. I ordered migas with beans and two flour tortillas. The coffee was standard diner-type coffee with non-dairy creamer. The young server was competent and friendly and took my order promptly. When my meal arrived, I was disappointed to find a blob of egg colored food, a blob of refried beans, and two sad, over-cooked, dried out sausage slices. The server asked if I wanted salsa, which I did. The flour tortillas were soft and chewy. The salsa came in a little plastic cup and was okay. Migas are supposed to be eggs scrambled into fried corn tortillas with sauted onions and peppers. I could not detect any corn tortillas in the migas. I will not get this again. However, there were many other tables full of people who enjoyed their food. As I was leaving, more people started arriving for lunch and they all looked like happy, repeat customers. I'll try their standard foods next time, because the prices seemed reasonable and others obviously...

We were there last Friday evening. We've been coming up to Kerrville once a week for deer season and we've yet to find a somewhat descent restaurant. We usually like to have Mexican food on Fridays so that we can enjoy a beer or Margarita with our meal. We were disappointed that they don't serve Beer/alcohol. That's ok, but the food AND service was horrible. The waitress couldn't remember our order even after writing it down. My husband had a WAY over priced DRY Ribeye steak, his salad was lettuce and tomatoes ONLY and the waitress brought him the wrong salad dressing 3 times (twice she brought the same one!) I ordered a hamburger and the meat was a precooked burger that had been microwaved!!! The fries were cold and stale!! We don't like to complain or send our food back at all, we just simply don't return and we make sure to review the venue!! Needless to say, I was sick to my stomach and barely made it out of the restaurant and into a Valero Corner Store to puke!!! I was sick the entire night that we were unable to stay at the ranch and had to rent a hotel!! The waitress was slow, rude and who wet think was the owner/manager was at the register and never took his eyes off his phone to check to see if everything was ok...didn't even bother to ask how our meal was!! Never again. I hope my review is helpful to those looking for a good...

Always love their breakfast!! So we tried their lunch the other day . Looked great and most was except the main dish which was baked chicken. Super dry but the rest was worth it . We have a 13 month old that was getting very fussy and restless . Needless to say we had to get out of there. My 6 year old on the other hand wasnt able to eat his piece of cake offered on the buffet because of the baby . They refused to let him have it. He got in the car and cried . I went back in there and asked kindly if they could please grant an exception on vetting his cake in a to go box . They were not happy about it but said yes . I stood there for 5 minutes and the guy disappeared. I've been in the restaurant business majority of my life and never would I write an ugly review on a local business if it wasnt well deserved. Kindness goes a long ways and we will not be back simply because of the point of it. This being my first ever review I will just say extremely disappointed not only was the main course dry and rubbery the management was less than not accommodating. On another note I realize buffets are only in house but come on my kids...
