Come for the convenience to the Lucky Eagle Casino. Come back for the great beef soup…read more
It's a locally owned and operated diner, with Mexican cuisine. I was driving by, famished from not having breakfast though it was nearly noon. I was tempted by the waitress, owner, manager Rosie to have the enchiladas. But then she said she had some special beef soup. I asked about caldo de pollo, but she said not that day. So the beef soup I had.
Wow.
A huge chunk of extremely tender brisket a baseball-size potato, two sections of fresh cabbage, diced carrots, and an extremely aromatic and tasty beef broth, served with three freshly steamed corn tortillas, and a halved tiny lemon, made this the perfect filling meal I was hoping for. It took me a good 45 minutes just to consume it -- eating extremely quickly as I did. I left not a drop.
Of course, I can't comment on what I didn't eat. But the soup was perfect, the service as attentive as I'd ever want (I met the son, I got a brief history and verbal tour of the area). If I come back to Eagle Pass to play poker at the great 11-table room in the casino, I'm eating here again. And I recommend it to any poker players who happen on this review. Good food = better play!
