THE BAD: Unfortunately this is the most TASTELESS Mexican food I've ever had. Everything from the meat to the beans and rice to the chips and salsa were all VERY bland.

So this is the second time I have had burritos from Mingos. We passed through Fort Stockton a…read morecouple of years ago and had breakfast burritos on the way out of town after we had stayed the night. Today we stopped for lunch burritos. I thought the breakfast burritos were really good, but they did not compare to the lunch ones. After having lunch, I knew I needed to leave a review. One item of note, the burritos are pretty small so I would recommend ordering at least 2. My wife on the other hand was satisfied with just one. The 3 burritos with extra cheese totaled $16 and change, so I think that was a fair price for lunch. especially as good as it was. They have a great selection of different meats. Both my wife and I had a Chili Verde Burrito with extra cheese. The Chile Verde had a good kick to it but was not too hot. The meat was super tender. You could tell it had been cooking all day. Great flavor and like I said the spice level was just right. The burrito was wrapped in foil, so when we got back to our RV, it was still blazing hot and had given the cheese time to fully melt. Delicious. I also had a spicy Chili Guisado. For those not familiar, it is a beef slow cooked in brown gravy. While it did not have the kick that the Chili Verde did, it still had a little bite, and with the salsa it was perfect. But the flavor was spot on. Another delicious option. We are here for another couple of days so its entirely possible that I might be back to try a different selection. They also have chicken, ground beef and potato and a brisket offering. And I'm sure I am probably missing something, so check their website for the latest menu. Other than that, their menu is pretty limited so don't expect much, they are after all called "Mingos Burritos". I always say, if you do one thing really good, you don't need to do a whole lot of things somewhat good, and they make a really, really good burrito.

Still our very favorite we do the carne with chili and add queso it's the absolute best! There is…read moreenough seating to enjoy your food even with a baby! The service is fast and great.

But, in all fairness, I've eaten at no fewer than 200 different Tex-Mex restaurants in my lifetime. First, as one reviewer stated, this is very much a New Mexican-style restaurant, although they try to get there with the Tex-Mex. What does this mean? Quite simply, this place uses red sauce (vs. chili gravy) for enchiladas. It also offers stacked enchiladas with an egg placed on top, which is true New Mexican. Beyond that, the menu is quite varied. I'll start with my cheese enchiladas with red sauce. The sauce was spicy as hell, which was wonderful. The enchiladas themselves were a disappointment because they used two corn tortillas to roll them with the smallest pinch of cheese I've experienced in a while. -- I'm not sure about my dad's chile relleno and beef enchilada with green sauce, but he really enjoyed both. The rice and beans were pretty much par for the course. Not bad but nothing special. The salsa here is phenomenal. There's just enough onion and cilantro to make it memorable. It's served cold, which is a must for me, and it has some serious bite. Service here is really friendly and efficient. The atmosphere is old school: cheap paneling and trite "Mexican" decor. The men's bathroom is almost as dark as a movie theater. I don't get to this area often, but I would certainly eat here again any time I do.

It was pretty much everything you'd hope for in a small-town restaurant in the heart of downtown. Locally owned, just the right amount of greasy-spoon charm, and so authentically West Texas that for a minute we wondered if they were about to serve us fried roadrunner with a side of coyote sauce. The place was filled with locals discussing Friday night's high school football game, which somehow made the whole experience even better. Overall, I'd give the food an 8/10, but we also didn't walk in expecting a fine-dining experience. This was clearly a roll-up-your-sleeves-and-eat kind of place. The brisket sandwich with jalapeño spread was very good. The brisket was chopped and covered in a tasty homemade sauce, while the jalapeño spread added the perfect amount of heat and a nice smoky flavor. It came with a side of hand-cut fries that were delicious. Our server suggested getting the fries covered in Hatch chile queso, and honestly, that may have been the star of the show. I'm not sure queso-covered fries are part of any recognized food group, but they should be. We also ordered the fried catfish basket, and it was very good as well. The fish tasted fresh, and the cornmeal batter was exactly what you'd expect from good Southern-style catfish. Even the house-made coleslaw was a pleasant surprise, which is saying something because coleslaw is usually the side dish everybody politely ignores. Service was exceptionally friendly, and overall, the stop was a success. I probably wouldn't plan an entire road trip around B's, but if you're passing through Fort Stockton, you're hungry, and you want some good, locally owned mom-and-pop food, this downtown staple is definitely worth a stop.
