Driving through West Texas, my husband and I were looking for a quick place to stop for lunch…read more Knowing I LOVE dumplings, he found a restaurant in the middle of Texas that served up just that. Disclaimer: The restaurant I tried from this restaurant is not what I'd considered "authentic" as some other Yelp users have stated. It's some version that suits the local palette. Service: The service was great. The host/server seated us right away, came by to take our order when we were ready, and proceeded to check in periodically to make sure our meal was okay. Ambiance: The restaurant is pretty big, with plenty of seating available. Food: Like I mentioned, the food isn't "authentic", but it's as authentic as you can get in West Texas! The food was still good! By husband and I ordered The xiao long bao (pictured). The dumplings did not have a thin wrap or soup inside. Quite the contrary of what makes a xiao long bao what it is, but the dumpling itself was still flavored well, and delicious. It tastes like a regular dumpling cosplaying as a xiao long bao. For the entree, my husband and I shared the chicken stir fry noodle. The noodle was really good and the portions were HUGE. I'm glad we both shared an entree because we didn't have any means to take away leftovers!

What a great experience!…read more It's a sports bar in west Texas and that's its strength. It caters to those of us here to work and to the locals who appreciate a great place to eat. Seated immediately even during their busiest hours, the service was also very friendly. The steak dinner was well cooked. The sides were a bit lacking, but the steak was good enough to offset that. Overall this is a go to in Pecos

What a great place for tamales!…read more The outside of the building looks like a strange place to have such a wonderful restaurant. But inside it's clean, smells delicious, and has very friendly staff. The tamales and bowls were delicious! This is a hidden gem that is worth the stop or drive.

17 years ago on our road trip and not much around, we happened upon La Nortena Tamale Factory in…read morethe blink of an eye and you've passed it town of Pecos Texas. Fast forward to Instagram, Yelp, social influencers and now this tamale factory and city are even more well known and loved. So with another road trip from Las Vegas to San Antonio we had to stop here and get some tamales. I have a few tips for you. They are closed on Mondays and if I'm not mistaken most days they are closed by 2 or 3 PM. Their website to pre-order is great. I ordered the night before to make sure my tamales were available. We were staying in Carlsbad, New Mexico and the drive time is an hour and 30 minutes. I totally forgot about the time change switching states. I called La Nortena as I started my drive and requested they changed my pick up time for an hour later than I had originally requested. They were so accommodating and helpful. I love that they open super early because we were on the road and there by 10am Texas time. We decided to walk in to pick up our order. They have an order line and a pick up line but there was only one girl manning the order line. It went pretty quick and they got our stuff really fast. They do not offer any bathrooms as this is just a pick up and go so if you're traveling you'll have to find somewhere else. The tamales were as delicious as I remembered them. The masa isn't super thin and isn't super thick. This isn't your regular masa. You can literally see the love that went into them making this masa special. I pre-ordered the mix dozen which comes with half green and half red. If you prefer more or less or another type of tamale they offer (others aren't always available) then just place the request in the comments box of your order. Both red and green are a bit spicy, moist and have awesome flavor. This was our breakfast and they were piping hot. I could barely hold them to hand them to my son in the backseat. I love that they were so hot. Delicious and my son said that they were the best tamales he had ever eaten. Pecos Texas is not that blink and you pass it kind of town anymore. It's rather cute with artistically painted Texas boots all throughout the city. I love social media because it really shows you all the things that you can find in the city from it having the world's first rodeo to history with Pecos Bill, this is definitely a stop to make and enjoy the city as well as the incredible tamales.

So I had to go with a 1 star review because food and service wasn't great…read more To go order: Food- I order a 12 piece wing which came out to be nearly $15. The wing were so dry, drier than grandma elbow. Service I had to ask 2x to to get some ranch with my wings. The lady said it with an attitude "it's in my bag" Got back home and there wasn't any ranch to be found. Overall very disappointing, all considering it's one of the only sport bar and wings joint.

Nothing worse than listening to two different songs at the same time. The food was pretty pathetic. Frozen mozzarella sticks and wings. We ordered the sampler and it was basically a bunch of fried cheese in different forms. All from a frozen box. The "queso " was the canned ballpark cheese sauce. Nachos were also very unimpressive. Think Doritos with cheese sauce and a very small amount of meat. Almost like they accidentally dropped a few pieces of meat on the plate. We will definitely not ever be going back.

Still a good choice as the queso had all the fixins just in a cup. Plenty of Queso foe the chips so I was not overly disappointed. Music a bit load but then again I was seated under the speaker.
