THE BAD: Unfortunately this is the most TASTELESS Mexican food I've ever had. Everything from the meat to the beans and rice to the chips and salsa were all VERY bland. Our server was also not very nice. If you are hungry and just passing through it will fill the hole but you'll likely feel robbed when you leave.

We stopped here because they're dog friendly (kudos to them for that) and we have a dog. We both got chicken enchiladas with green sauce. The plates were obviously microwaved from cold.

The enchaladas with plain, unseasoned chicken inside tortillas, smothered in an okay chile verde and some cheese. We choked it down because we were famished. But wow. Not so good.

Super clean, clearly newly renovated bathroom!

What's left of my chicken flautas! Very tasty- fresh and stuffed with lots of chicken! Salsa is good -not a lot of heat but flavorful.

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.

So this is the second time I have had burritos from Mingos. We passed through Fort Stockton a…read morecouple of years ago and had breakfast burritos on the way out of town after we had stayed the night. Today we stopped for lunch burritos. I thought the breakfast burritos were really good, but they did not compare to the lunch ones. After having lunch, I knew I needed to leave a review. One item of note, the burritos are pretty small so I would recommend ordering at least 2. My wife on the other hand was satisfied with just one. The 3 burritos with extra cheese totaled $16 and change, so I think that was a fair price for lunch. especially as good as it was. They have a great selection of different meats. Both my wife and I had a Chili Verde Burrito with extra cheese. The Chile Verde had a good kick to it but was not too hot. The meat was super tender. You could tell it had been cooking all day. Great flavor and like I said the spice level was just right. The burrito was wrapped in foil, so when we got back to our RV, it was still blazing hot and had given the cheese time to fully melt. Delicious. I also had a spicy Chili Guisado. For those not familiar, it is a beef slow cooked in brown gravy. While it did not have the kick that the Chili Verde did, it still had a little bite, and with the salsa it was perfect. But the flavor was spot on. Another delicious option. We are here for another couple of days so its entirely possible that I might be back to try a different selection. They also have chicken, ground beef and potato and a brisket offering. And I'm sure I am probably missing something, so check their website for the latest menu. Other than that, their menu is pretty limited so don't expect much, they are after all called "Mingos Burritos". I always say, if you do one thing really good, you don't need to do a whole lot of things somewhat good, and they make a really, really good burrito.

Still our very favorite we do the carne with chili and add queso it's the absolute best! There is…read moreenough seating to enjoy your food even with a baby! The service is fast and great.
