There were 12 in our group, and there was a table large enough to accommodate all of us. We went on a Friday night which is the evening Prime Rib is served. We were served a nice portion of meat, red potatoes and a choice of clam chowder or green salad. Our server was very efficient making sure we were all happily satisfied.

A banner fluttering on the curb, cheerful paint colors, a golden light from the windows said to us,"Your dinner will not come from the snack bag in the car or the donettes and cold pop at Chevron. El Cocinero is home cooking. Cooked well, large portions, filling. We split #2; two enchiladas, beans, rice and a tostada. I sit in my cushy Prairie City Hotel room chair - I am filled up.

They can be looked up on Google Lens. Prairie City is a small, quiet town,on it's way back up with new generations. While other eateries are closed,El Cocinero will probably be open, warm and welcoming.
