Where else can you drink margaritas, smoke bonus cigarettes, and pet random dogs that walk through for $10 American? Our bartender didn't speak very much English but he pointed us to a place a few blocks away with street tacos and nachos that were off the chain. Getting liquored up had never been so fun or cheap!

As Wade Bowen says, "nobody goes to Acuna anymore". Well that ain't no joke folks, this place is a…read moreghost town. Nonetheless, this place is still a cool place to hang out for some day drinking and some dancing later in the evening. It's very spacious and doesn't get crowded - but I don't think anything in Acuna gets crowded these days. It's located about a block from the international bridge and is on the main street (Miguel Hidalgo St.) on the right-hand side as you stumble in. You can't miss it. Bottled beer is $1.54 (U.S. dollars) - how can you go wrong with that??? Yes, they take credit cards. Make sure your bank doesn't charge an international fee. A couple of scenes from the movie Desperado (and I *think* El Mariachi) were filmed here.

It's definitely something we love and appreciate back home in San Antonio. My immediate observation is that the place is beautiful and I love the old pictures of Piedras Negras on the walls. The menu is great and I loved the eggs Benedict I ordered. The only reason I didn't give this place 5 stars is because the service was lacking. Our server was not friendly nor attentive. I'd love to go back and try more of their menu. Their chips and salsa are amazing, btw.

Best restaurant within 150 miles. Hands down. If you're…read morevisiting Eagle Pass or Piedras Negras I HIGHLY recommend this place. It's a must visit when in the area. I had heard a lot of great things about this place online and I finally got the time to come try it out. WOW. From the moment you enter you're blown away from how they've kept a lot of the original materials. The restaurant served many purposes such as house, President palace (city hall), among other things many years ago. When you walk in you see the elegance from furniture, to lighting, to decoration. They offer lower level, upper level, private rooms, and outdoor terrace. Beautiful! Usually restaurants offer chips and salsa. This place offered corn bread fritters with two different salsas. The corn bread fritters have small pieces of chicharrón (pork grinds) if you've never had them, I highly recomendable them! They have a bunch of different dishes that fit everyone's budgets. I was craving seafood so I got the Pulpo En Adobo, it's octopus grilled over fire and glazed in an adobo sauce. The dish comes with mashed potatoes and Spinach and Peanut salad. I replaced the mashed potatoes for Jazmin rice. I gulped this down with a fresh lemonade made to order! Everything tasted delicious! Once again, I can't stress this enough! This place is a must!

The waiters are definitely not attentive, but the cooks are good and prices are reasonable. It's a good place for groups and families. I did not enter the bar area which is separate from the restaurant area. The bathroom was clean. I had the caldo tlalpeño. It was very good, very substantial and filling. However, I did notice that they did not include any cheese cubes as is customary for this kind of soup. The others at my table had the parrillada and it looked delicious. The beef was well done. Overall I enjoyed my visit. My only complaint was the lack of service.

But they got me super sick an hour later. The inside of the restaurant needs a lot of updating. Tacos de arrachera on corn tortillas were very good. They provide you with a green salsa but you can ask for a "Salsa Molcajeteada" which they make on the spot. Fresh salsa! Overall if I had not gotten sick it was good tasting food. But for the price the place need updating. My wife ordered only two tacos and they were 6 bucks! That is too expensive for any taco in Mexico.

My review is primarily about the hotel that the bar and grill are connected to. We stay at the…read moreCasino Hotel at least 1-2 per month. We have never had any issues. The simple family-owned hotel always has immaculately clean rooms, the employees are personable and friendly, and the beds in the rooms closer to the office (upstairs) are actually more comfortable than the ones at the hotel at the casino! Yes, you read it right, I've even asked where they purchased the mattresses because I would like to purchase one. Yes, they're THAT COMFORTABLE. Bar and Grill - free breakfast "buffet" is included with the stay. It's a simple menu of eggs, beans, bread, cereals, juice and milk and coffee. Simple but DELICIOUS! The salsa is the best part. Yum! I have recommended this hotel to several of my family and friends.
