Where else can you drink margaritas, smoke bonus cigarettes, and pet random dogs that walk through for $10 American? Our bartender didn't speak very much English but he pointed us to a place a few blocks away with street tacos and nachos that were off the chain. Getting liquored up had never been so fun or cheap!

I found out about Casa del Senador through a recommendation from my cousin. I must say this place…read moreis really cool. I love when restaurants restore and repurpose historic houses and buildings. It's definitely something we love and appreciate back home in San Antonio. My immediate observation is that the place is beautiful and I love the old pictures of Piedras Negras on the walls. The menu is great and I loved the eggs Benedict I ordered. The only reason I didn't give this place 5 stars is because the service was lacking. Our server was not friendly nor attentive. I'd love to go back and try more of their menu. Their chips and salsa are amazing, btw.

Best restaurant within 150 miles. Hands down. If you're…read morevisiting Eagle Pass or Piedras Negras I HIGHLY recommend this place. It's a must visit when in the area. I had heard a lot of great things about this place online and I finally got the time to come try it out. WOW. From the moment you enter you're blown away from how they've kept a lot of the original materials. The restaurant served many purposes such as house, President palace (city hall), among other things many years ago. When you walk in you see the elegance from furniture, to lighting, to decoration. They offer lower level, upper level, private rooms, and outdoor terrace. Beautiful! Usually restaurants offer chips and salsa. This place offered corn bread fritters with two different salsas. The corn bread fritters have small pieces of chicharrón (pork grinds) if you've never had them, I highly recomendable them! They have a bunch of different dishes that fit everyone's budgets. I was craving seafood so I got the Pulpo En Adobo, it's octopus grilled over fire and glazed in an adobo sauce. The dish comes with mashed potatoes and Spinach and Peanut salad. I replaced the mashed potatoes for Jazmin rice. I gulped this down with a fresh lemonade made to order! Everything tasted delicious! Once again, I can't stress this enough! This place is a must!

Why are there no reviews?! This place was amazing!…read more A group of coworkers staying in Eagle Pass, Texas decide to venture into Mexico today (Tuesday) and try out republica as we heard is much about it and we were NOT disappointed! We arrived about 5:45pm and it was pretty empty. We were greeted right away and given seating of our choice. The place is beautiful from the outside in! The ambiance and decor is trendy and would be a good spot for a special occasion celebration. Even the bathrooms were soo nice! The oversized, full body mirror was definitely a plus, but the bathroom was welp kept. The service was great! Our waiter was Luis/z, the receipt said "Chacho", he was sweet, attentive, and made some great suggestions. Everyone else we interacted with were also friendly and pleasant. We ended up being here for over 5 hours! We just kept ordering drinks and food and they were also nice enough to put the basketball game on for us. We ordered so much food and drink, I lost track of the items name (especially since they were in Spanish). The only thing we collectively agreed was not good was the guacamole; it lacked flavor and we did not eat even half of it. Everything else was great and so were the drinks! I included a pic of the receipt for the items and the prices. We are out there for another 2 months and we will definitely be back!

My review is primarily about the hotel that the bar and grill are connected to. We stay at the…read moreCasino Hotel at least 1-2 per month. We have never had any issues. The simple family-owned hotel always has immaculately clean rooms, the employees are personable and friendly, and the beds in the rooms closer to the office (upstairs) are actually more comfortable than the ones at the hotel at the casino! Yes, you read it right, I've even asked where they purchased the mattresses because I would like to purchase one. Yes, they're THAT COMFORTABLE. Bar and Grill - free breakfast "buffet" is included with the stay. It's a simple menu of eggs, beans, bread, cereals, juice and milk and coffee. Simple but DELICIOUS! The salsa is the best part. Yum! I have recommended this hotel to several of my family and friends.

When visiting Eagle Pass, Choche's BBQ has to be a stop you make. I recently celebrated my birthday…read moreat Choche's and everything was perfect! We started off with the Brisket Nachos which included chips from a local tortilla factory, queso blanco, brisket, and pico de gallo (you can also ask for pico de gallo on side). The chips had the right amount of saltiness and paired with the queso and brisket - it was the perfect appetizer to open the lunch with. For our group, we did get two (2) large nachos but asked to split it into 4 plates (to feed 15). It was more than enough!!! For our main meal, we went with the "El Comp" package which included enough food to feed 8-12 (we were a party of 15). The meal package included: a whole Brisket, a rack of Pork ribs, 4 Chicken leg quarters (which I asked to split to make 8 pieces), 3, 32oz sides (we chose Potato Salad and the Ruffles Mac and Cheese). The brisket was tender, the ribs fell off the bone and the chicken was seasoned perfectly. I personally loved the ribs and brisket - no BBQ sauce needed! Everyone had multiple servings from the divided portions and it hit the spot! The sides were the perfect compliment to the main course and I will always sing the praises of the best Mac and Cheese that features crumbled Ruffles Queso chips (everyone absolutely loved the crunchy and soft textures). Not pictured: Texas Twinkies (brisket and cheese stuffed jalapeños wrapped in bacon and covered in BBQ sauce. They were a good mix of sweet and spicy and also a big hit! In addition to the meal, Choche's has pickles, BBQ sauce, onions and bread slices setup for you to add to your meal. We really enjoyed visiting Choche's BBQ and celebrating my birthday with all the good vibes. On weekends, there may be live music or if a sporting event, it's on the TVs. If you find yourself in EP, stop by Choche's!!

The brisket is so juicy and cooked perfect with that beautiful ring. The sausage is good and well the amazing turkey I've yet to try becuase it sells out which makes me believe it has to be that delicious. We got the huge brisket sandwich and the bread alone was yummy and was large portion of meat. The three meat plate the meat on the ribs was falling off and the pulled pork was just as good. As for the sides I'm not too crazy about becuase I just want to be a carnivore but the corn was yummy and the potato salad is more mayo based and definitely yummy. The pickled onions are sooo good and free refills and variety of teas are perfect. The service from the owners are always fantastic they are there to give you suggestions and the price was just right. The pieeeeee ughh soooo good we got the award winning key lime pie and I was soooo sad I didn't take more home becuase my poor husband didn't get to have much because I didn't want to share. The place itself doesn't look like much from the outside but don't let that fool you the inside is so nice and backyard or home feel making you feel welcomed and they have a full bar which is perfect. Definitely our go to place for bbq and worth the drive even from San Antonio

Nice and comfortable restaurant with very good food…read more The service was slow. I had requested a refill on my drink but finally gave up. The waiters are definitely not attentive, but the cooks are good and prices are reasonable. It's a good place for groups and families. I did not enter the bar area which is separate from the restaurant area. The bathroom was clean. I had the caldo tlalpeño. It was very good, very substantial and filling. However, I did notice that they did not include any cheese cubes as is customary for this kind of soup. The others at my table had the parrillada and it looked delicious. The beef was well done. Overall I enjoyed my visit. My only complaint was the lack of service.

But they got me super sick an hour later. The inside of the restaurant needs a lot of updating. Tacos de arrachera on corn tortillas were very good. They provide you with a green salsa but you can ask for a "Salsa Molcajeteada" which they make on the spot. Fresh salsa! Overall if I had not gotten sick it was good tasting food. But for the price the place need updating. My wife ordered only two tacos and they were 6 bucks! That is too expensive for any taco in Mexico.
