Going to be in Del Rio All Week

[Hoji]

Teaching a big security class. What is there to do here? Any of y'all that live around here shoot me a PM or post in the thread.

Thanks,
Hoji

My friend's ranch is about 30 miles east of there. The only thing I can tell you about Del Rio is that it's worth going to Julio's Restaurant for lunch. We do that once or twice while we're at the ranch deer hunting and have never been disappointed with the food.

 

[Hoji]

Thanks, Julio's at least once!

 

[Hoji]

Come on, there has to be something besides Julio's Restaurant in the sprawling metropolis of Del Rio, Texas

 

[Vaquero]

You could fish.
That's all I've ever done there.

 

[TxStetson]

Same. Fish and eat at Julio's.

Or check out motel ventilation ducts for cases full of money.

I'd like to see White Shaman Cave.

Oldest winery in Texas since 1883...

It's been 20+ years since I've been out there so I have no idea if their wines are any good, but I remember their Port being a high point.

If you ride a motorcycle, 3 sisters is not far.

Is that a reference to "No country for old men"?

 

[Big Dipper]

^^^^^^ Yep.

 

[Hoji]

Getting ready to go set up my class.

Any other places to eat down here?

 

[Hoji]

Oh, and the Rudy's next to the hotel is kind of "meh" sausage was a little dry and the extra moist brisket was imitating the sausage.

Go check out the Laughlin Heritage Foundation Museum. It's tiny, but I spent quite a bit of time geeking out on the stuff in there.

Nope... Best restaurant in town is Dairy Queen. You would think the Mexican restaurants would be good, but they aren't.

Goto HEB, buy a steak and some charcoal, and take it out to Amistad. There's a few public grills out there you can use. Beautiful setting for dinner.

I spent a week on my Harley cruising around on the Mexican side of the border a few years ago. No GPS, no cell phone, just riding and seeing where I ended up.

Cool. Not sure I would do that. I would be afraid I would end up losing my bike. I did enjoy riding 3 months around the U.S. though, 26,000 miles.

If you find yourself down here the Cripple Creek Steakhouse is worth a visit. Very well prepared NY Strip ( rare of course) with great flavor and texture, a passably decent Key Lime pie, and the salad and armadillo legs appetizer( baked jalapeño with cream cheese and bacon) were first rate.

You are probably gone by now but my FIL lives there so we have been a bunch of times. Fish, tube the Rio Grande, or visit the Alamo set. I think it's from the John Wayne film.
