Don Marcelino's of Del Rio


Del Rio is a great city for Mexican breakfast.  My guess is that just about any restaurant you enter will have good Mexican cuisine.  Many of these restaurants stand one after another along US-90.  The one I stopped at was Don Marcelino's.  Above is an egg and potato taco.




Marcelino's is the one with the colorful sign out front on Veterans Blvd (aka US-90).  That's what grabbed me.




Chicharron & Eggs:


This Mexican breakfast has been on my bucket list for ages.  Pork rinds cooked down until soft and scrambled in eggs.  And the refried beans were great.


Barbacoa:


Is the barbacoa better in Del Rio.  Yes ... a little.



Flour Tortillas -- Mas Grande!


Look at the size of that tortilla, and cooked all the way through.  Great bread for a Mexican breakfast!


No Mas!

Sorry, I just made one stop on the way back from the Chili Cook Off in Terlingua, but here are some other items and their cost:


Machacado Ranchero Egg Plate -- $5.49


Machado and eggs plate is a dish of scrambled eggs with chopped peppers and tomatoes with the guest of honor ... chips of dried beef.  Marcelino ups the anti and tops the dish off with a ranchero sauce, and just for $5.49.



Breakfast Burritos, Not Breakfast Tacos -- 10 for $12.99



Everyday price!  If the burritos are a $1.30 in lots of ten, then the tacos must be close to free!  But read the small print: "for a limited time".  Now they must have reverted to $19.99 for ten.  $2 per burrito!  I'll take that anytime.
