    stuffed avacados  enchiladas

    old Mexican restaurant. Everything looked old. walls chipped, menues not so clean. BUT the food was delicious. I had the stuffed avacados. Never heard of them but oh were they good. Drinks were in huge gasses. Prices were way too high for the meals. My stuffed avacados were $17.00. The service was good. Very friendly staff. But it was one of the only restaurants in a dead town. We were glad there was something.

    Stuffed avocados, one with cheese, the other with chicken.

    I've stayed at a nearby RV park a couple of times and have heard about this place so decided to give it a try. They do not disappoint!! Service and food were excellent, not to mention the margaritas!! They don't make your mouth pucker from too much lime mix!! I had the stuffed avocados and it was a first experience. Wow!! So good!! Give 'em a try, you won't be disappointed.

    Pic of the Route 66, Small town Mexican Cantina. Not fancy, the square register is about the only thing modern. Very Texas, very Mexican!

    Food, Service, and just friendly people serving good food. The Momma Jo's Bakery, couple of other good restaurants around the Square, fun museums, and just a very Route66 vibe.

    Not a hard location to find. We came to Vega for dps and decided to grab food. We got beef white queso enchiladas, and asada street tacos. So good! I will be back:)

    Tacos Asada!

    Highly recommend Roosters. The food is amazing and staff are really friendly. If you are in Amarillo, it's worth the 20-30 minute drive to Vega, and if you are passing through town, while traveling east or west in I-40, stop off in Vega, Roosters is worth the stop!

    Looking for a pet friendly stop on our trip from Texas to New Mexico. Friendly service and good food. Had a picnics table outside that worked out well!

    Fajitas Trios for two!

    We traveled here from Ft. worth and this is by far the best Fajita's we have had for a very long time! Margaritas are outstanding! Chips and salsa is outstanding and plentiful too! We could not finish this mountain of beef, chicken and shrimp fajitas. We will devour the leftovers for the next 2 days on our way up to Yellowstone! Service was outstanding as Claudia took excellent care of us! Many thanks to her and Anna! Like family!

    This place is a MUST! While driving towards East coast we found this Mexican restaurant basically located off the beaten path. It was THE best stop by far! Everything about it was unique. The restaurant used to be a gas station many years ago and they still have original floor with stains from where oil was changed. The owners, two brothers Mike and Ron opened it 8 yeas ago and serve only authentic, home style food. We asked to take some portraits of the owner and he chatted with us a little. They were so hospitable and even gifted us a souvenir, a clay made pot with the Route 66 engravings. SERVICE: Kimberly was our server and was super nice. She helped us with food selection and choice that fitted our taste and was very friendly. We also chatted with the owner for a while and he told us a little about the history of this place, which made the whole experience even more unique and unforgettable! FOOD: chips and salsa they brought was so good! Especially since i am not the biggest fan of mexican food, everything we ordered i ate with huge appetite. Portions are good size, not oversized but just enough to be full. The three of us ordered taco salad and fajitas (for one person) and didnt even finish it was so much food! I would absolutely LOVE to go back one day!!

    Gotta say growing up in Houston eating Torchy's it is nice to visit a new town and having tried and…read moretrue taco's with excellent service. The kiosk is slightly offensive imo. But here again it's great for those that don't want to socialize I suppose. The order out was super busy (door dash, Uber eats orders) the employees were hustlin. All and all a nice blast from the past. Food was fair for a taco and queso; a solid Torchy's situation.

    About 9am, I walked in to the ordering desk and needed a minute to view the menu, as I had never…read moreeaten there before, the lady was seemingly irritated with needing to give me time to find something to order. Once order was placed, I filled my cup with unsweet tea and it was soured. For the sake of pure awareness, I let the lady know about the finding and she further tasted it but didn't find it unpleasant. Mind you, I have ran a restaurant on my own and have worked in the restaurant industry since high school.... I know what bad tea tastes like. I make a new drink choice and move on, not the end of the world with 15 other drink choices available!! Once my food arrived and I'm half way through eating, she proceeds to come to the table in a very offensive manner asking "Well would you like me to make you new tea? What do you want me to do?" At this point, I was shocked at how she approached me and did not have much response other than "It's alright, I got something else to drink, thank you." So I finished the meal, go to top off with lemonade before leaving, and the manager/owner hurries over and says "No, No! That is not lemonade, just the concentrate!" In my mind I think to myself "umm, sorry Sir, I didn't know that. I thought that the "Hours of Operation 8am-10pm" on the door meant that this place was fully functioning and in service within the hours that you have posted. The entire time I was in this restaurant, the workers were refilling and setting up for the day..... the place was not to par within their "Hours of Operation." Will never return!!!!!

We were brought individual flights of salsa to go with the chips. My michelada hit the spot. Was it the best? No. But it scratched the itch. I couldn't decide on what to eat. Until I saw green chili stew and asado. I moved away from Midland in 2015. You don't really find asado away from West Texas. The music wasn't too loud and the lighting wasn't too bright or too dim. Overall, we enjoyed our meals. I'll likely stop back in the next time I'm in town.

Like they were going to seat another party at the other table . I'm not sharing a table . Not good service . Looked around a lot of the tables pushed together. Was another room empty with no tables. They should have spread out the tables in all the rooms . So everyone could have been seated when they came in instead of waiting 25-30 min. Then after we ordered. On a scale of 1 to 10. I give them a 2. One person's in my party couldnt eat the tacos. Meat was full of fatty meat and the taco was full of grease from when cooked. Mine also had a taco . The taco instead of having the color of a corn taco. It was brown and greasy because of all the grease it was cook in . Ate maybe half my meal . I made up my mind that is the last time I will go there and if anyone ever suggest to go there to me . I'll tell them the reason .
