Well Tuscola's got one. Tuscola 1, NYC 0. (That is until I can convince Elena to pack the family, move up to trendy Brooklyn, and go about their business under the hipster glow of #NewYorkValues.) Just kidding, they can stay put. Gives me yet another reason to come to this beautiful little slice of the world. What they got? Carne Guisada, omg. Brisket tacos, omfg.

There was a decent wait time for a table, but you can walk right across the street to the Perini's shop that includes cookbooks, fresh jelly, and gifts while you wait! Service can be a little slow at times, but it's cozy and everyone is always friendly! Highly recommend giving them a try!!

We had huevos Ranchos (only picture taken), mijas, and pancake breakfast. Everything was outstanding, served promptly and food was nice and warm and DELICIOUS. Our coffee was delicious and our cup was never empty. Our waitresses was always inquiring if we needed anything. We never had to ask for anything, she would come by to see if there was anything else. The establishment, restroom, and parking lot were clean. I highly recommend this local restaurant. I am looking forward to go again to try something different.

Adelitas is a great local Mexican / Texican food mom and pop style restaurant. I arrived there for…read morelunch. This is definitely a locals restaurant and not a touristy place. The parking spaces in front are limited, but there is street parking. I was by myself and took a seat over to the side. There is one big dining room with tables along the walls and in the center. The kitchen and restrooms are in the back. This is a family style restaurant, with just a few decorations like a mural of a Mexican scene on one wall. Everything appeared clean as far as I could see. My server was pleasant and brought me some chips and salsa. Chips are the typical thin American style. The salsa is medium spicy, tomatoey and zipped in a blender. I ordered the "guiso plate" and was told I could choose between hand made flour or store-bought corn tortillas. I prefer corn, so I was promptly served the carne guisada along with corn tortillas (which were quite good). The carne guisada had more of an American gravy texture and taste than most carne guisada I have had in Mexico. But I slathered the salsa over it and that pepped it up. This is not a trendy place nor super fancy, but you can find good food and pleasant service. As I left I requested some iced tea to go, and they were happy to oblige, and that was nice as I had a long drive ahead of me. I would go back when I have occasion to go through Ballinger.

If your finding this restaurant, and your in WINTERS TEXAS, this place is not even close. Just a little info.

But it LOOKS like a really nice place. Maybe one day I will take a road trip and go give a real review.
