    El Rey sol plate pt 1
    Perry C.

    So.. depending on your vibe, when you think small town.. most of us either go for brand name places to eat or we go for the "hole in the wall diamonds" El Rey Sol was no exception to this concept. We drove past this place more than a few times, but decided to give it a shot.. I'm honestly kicking myself for not trying it the first time. So let's start from the top.. 1. Salsa was on point! Delicious and had a good amount of heat. We ordered the queso as well. Not bad, needs a little more seasoning, but it was good! 2. My gf bad the quesa birria..soo good!! Cheese and meat were loaded in the tortillas! The consume has so much flavor! So wonderful! 3. I ordered the signature dish, El Rey Sol plate. My only complaint I could give would be the beans and rice. The beans had an off taste to them.(maybe add bacon fat?) The rice seemed a little overcooked, but the flavor was still there. A little salsa on them and BAM! They were right back in the game! The Enchilada, taco, and tostada were excellent. The chili relleno was delicious! I got mine with cheese, and omg it was loaded!!! Lastly.. the star for me was the tamale.. I haven't had one better than El Rey Sol since Delia's in South Texas. I could smash a dozen of them by myself! Top it all off with amazing and knowledgeable staff members.. just a wonderful dining experience. We will 1000% be back very soon!!

    The buffet was; Tamales, tacos, enchiladas, refried beans, chili con carne, Mexican rice, salad. I am satisfied. Quick and great service!

    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.
