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.

The name means "The Bear Den" and the inside is decorated with all kinds of bears and other beautiful decor from Mexico. Since it's a small place, you're definitely not getting "fast food," so expect to spend about an hour to have lunch, but it's worth the wait! We tried the green chile queso (awesome), fried pickles (good, the ranch they came with were awesome though), the chile relleno (solid), the chicken flautas (pretty good), and my daughter had their fried fish basket, which we definitely didn't expect to see on the menu but she liked! We were on a road trip and didn't have as much time to spend here as I'd hoped, but they helped us get in and out as fast as possible with our bellies full, which we really appreciated!

I got the cheese enchilada dish and Bobbie the flautis dish both with rice and beans. The beans were actually some of the best I've had in a long time and the rice was good, needed more seasoning but still good. The enchiladas were tasty but also lacking seasoning. The flautis were probably the best part as they had lots of meat fries nice and crispy and great flavor. So overall for Pecos where the choices are very limited it was good food. Not sure where all the reviews saying no flavor came from but maybe they need to go back to El Torito.

The portion was smaller than I expected, but the flavor didn't disappoint. The pork was tender, and the green chile sauce had a deep, rich taste that reflected hours of slow cooking. It carried more heat than my palate prefers, but spice lovers would likely appreciate it. The accompanying rice and beans were less impressive. The Spanish rice had a fairly standard flavor but was noticeably dry. The refried beans were also dry and seemed as though they had been sitting for quite some time before being served, which took away from an otherwise flavorful entrée. The restaurant itself was clean, colorful, and had a lively atmosphere that made it an inviting place to dine. Prices were about what I would expect for the meal we ordered--fair, though not a standout value. Overall, it was a pleasant stop with friendly service and a well-prepared Chile Verde, even if a few of the side dishes fell short.
