The Alamo Restaurant doesnāt waste your time with promises. They only have good food. I recommend the pancakes because Yanira the manager cooks them outrageously well. She just has that right touch. I enjoy just about anything on the menu apart from the burgers. Go across the street for that because the price is too high at Alamo and it will disappoint. All their breakfast dishes are fantastic. The burritos are very good. The drinks are cold. You get the feeling when you are there that youāre making things work for a family and that feels great. Iām trying to recall another stand out dish to recommend. Iāve been there plenty of times. Machaca and eggs is a dish I usually wind up ordering despite wanting to try different items. Itās a favorite and they do it just right there. They have the best seafood in the area and the grill is hot for searing the steaks. Itās always very clean there, cleaner that it looks at a glance because we are in a desert here and things can appear clouded with dust from afar. This is a nice place, a...

Since I got it to go I came back home my wife start to eat it and noticed that they had microwaved the enchiladas in the styrofoam box and then served it making the food tastes completely like plastic definitely not worth the $40 I spent on the meal when I called to get an exchange I was very polite a nice young man answered the phone and said that the exchange was fine and then older woman call right back telling me how it's my fault her customer service was horrible she was not compassionate she didn't care about the food she was putting out I think it's a terrible way to run the business and honestly I will not be returning there and I don't suggest ever going there if you come...
Ā Ā Ā Read moreI am an adventurous eater. I donāt mean like eating puffer fish in Japan (though Iād probably do that too). I mean Iām willing to eat places that other people might be nervous about visiting. This qualifies. Why? Because it is in the middle of what looks like a post-apocalyptic ācityā and you can guess they donāt get many clients as a result. But these things donāt concern me. Because I value the experience even if the food sucks.
Well that didnāt matter here because the food was ON POINT. Dead on, in fact. Three steak tacos, corn tortillas, only cilantro/onion (my request) and a copious amount of beans and rice. This is the food I love to eat. Simple and prepared correctly. I am not Mexican but Iām from Chicago so Iāve had the real deal too many times to count, plus Iāve had Mexican all over the country. This is...
