Alpine

Tex-Mex /
Burgers

(From June 2011) Famous for its burgers, Alicia’s also does better than most with Tex-Mex. Building blocks like chiles, beans, and tomatoes get seasoned to perfection and turn the chalupas, tacos, and enchiladas into seriously good eats. Check out Jonny’s Omelet, which is actually a huge egg crepe enveloping a scrumptious pile of cheese, peppers, and tomatoes.

Fort Davis

Burgers /
Mexican

  

(From May 2011) This veteran cafe east of Sleeping Lion Mountain is a Tex-Mex stalwart, even as nearby restaurants defect to trendier New Mexico–style cuisine. It has nothing fancy, just well-executed enchiladas, tacos, and a few non-Mex offerings like catfish and burgers. The rellenos and the chicken fajitas remain our favorites, but we like the chalupas for a lighter meal. Especially flavorful salsa, guacamole, and chile con queso play supporting roles. Half the town shows up exactly at noon for the lunch buffet, so be warned.
