I love this place. Normally I get the chicken tenders. They are the best. You can't go wrong with…read morethem. However, this time I decided to get a burger. It was really good. Lots of flavor and very juicy. The patty needed a little salt but otherwise it was good. The sweet potato fries stole the prize though. Man are the spectacular. Perfectly cooked and seasoned to perfection with just a little salt. The atmosphere is good. Very casual. It's not full service so if you run out of your favorite soft drink, then that's on you! It is free refills. So get up and go get more. I'd definitely recommend this place. I believe the chicken tenders are better than the burger, but the burger isn't anything to sneeze at either.

Fred & Red's, since 1923, is always a walk down memory lane when I walk through the door. This was…read moremy mom's favorite spot in Joplin, Mo! We know we're there when we see their iconic neon sign crowning the entrance! Still a favorite with many, there was a steady stream of customers coming in and sitting around the counter-dining-only restaurant. Service, as in the past, was speedy and served with a smile. They are closed on Sunday and Monday. Our go to is always the tamales - mom's favorite. On this day I enjoyed a bundle, 3 @ $3.55, and a light splattering chili. Their tamales are more comparable to a Mississippi Delta tamale than the tamale you would eat at a Mexican restaurant. They always ask if you want dill pickles and sliced onions on the side - for an additional charge. Their griddle cooked burgers are good, too. Spaghetti Red is a signature dish that many swear by, has been on the menu forever, and is a Fred & Red's Classic. This dish is a layered plate of spaghetti noodles, topped with tamales and covered with chili. I've never been brave enough to try this favorite but make sure you're hungry! It's a plate full! They serve fries and tater tots, as well as, desserts. Also, the have frozen tamale bundles (of three), chili and other options to go! Check out their Carry Out menu!

Even the sides were special and the homemade corn tortillas...chef's kiss. The wagon wheel duritos were a fun switch up from chips and salsa although when the owner discovered my daughter was gf he voluntarily brought her her own chips and salsa. The salsa was mild enough for her but they also have grilled jalapeños and two other sauces that deliver a delicious kick. Not for the faint at heart. Unfortunately I am visiting and cannot frequent this place but if I were in the neighborhood they would know me by name. High recommendation.

Yet, Joplin has one of the best Mexican food restaurants I've ever eaten in. A mix of authentic and Tex-Mex. For example: steak is one of their specialties and is offered on many items. It's a thin steak but what a great flavor! Not dressed up with a bunch of condiments which let's that wonderful chargrilled flavor through. And they serve huge pieces. Then they have French fries with steak pieces {a lot!}, and dressed like all the way nachos. And they have a huge menu. Order a drink and read it through. If you're a chili relleno lover, don't leave without getting one. Authentic red chili sauce and a large amount of cheese in the middle. I don't want to skip further mention of the drinks. They are large and they are good! Unbelievably, they use fresh juices in their drinks. If you've never had a margarita with fresh fruit juice. these are out of this world good. But unlike most Mexican places, they also offer craft drinks (blackberry) and they too are huge and good . Beer of corse is plentiful. The variety, the music but especially the food elevate this restaurant to my highest recommended Mexican restaurant anywhere in the US. (The service is good but only if you get the guy that's always buzzing around or if you speak Spanish.. or take your translating earbuds ). I went back home last time dreaming of this place and couldn't wait to get there on this trip. And just a note: The Habaneros in the orange building on some busy street (sorry I'm a tourist) is not, I hear, owned by the same people. I don't know about the others. Final word: hurry to Habaneros on Main before someone steals their chef and their bartender, as is what usually happens to really good chefs and bartenders. They can make or break a restaurant, as I often state. Bon Appetito!
