Dang, I've been on the road and missed jumping in on another of Lee's favorite "best in the area" closed down restaurants. LOLI worked over in Many back in '96 and ate lunch at the old ?El Toro? about once a month, and even stopped by --on purpose-- with Jena a few years ago. I always enjoyed lunch there. But, thankfully, I have a fellow sidecarist covering my back this time.
But, hey, if the TexMex is closed, the DQ has ice cream!
Lloyd: We'll be looking for y'all and the new-to-you green rig.
Checked yesterday, the TexMex in Hemphill is named El Tio.

OK folks: The El Tio it is! Lunch on Friday, May 4th at 11:30am.
For folks coming from the KOA, I suggest the following ~50 minute route:
North on US96 ~7 miles to Pineland;
Right on FM1 ~5 miles to FM2024;
Right on FM2024 ~5 miles to FM183;
Right on TX184 ~5 miles to Hemphill;
Left on TX87 to the El Tio!
We will plan on returning to the KOA via FM83 for a different look.
Jena & I will plan on coming down thru Louisiana crossing Toledo Bend on the Pendleton Bridge on LA6-TX21.

Do you know Cinco de Mayo was made possible by a Texan -Ignacio Seguin Zaragoza. He was the Mexican general that defeated a much bigger French army in 1862.

Now that is a great idea. Sampling Charlie's that is, not paying for them at lunch. LOL

Quote from Txart on March 25, 2012, 7:13 pmHey Lee --- Please get me one dozen tamales - Hot flavor .
I have wanted some Zwolle tamales for a long time so I can compare them to our Tamales. The wife and I have a small business providing tamales to non-profits doing fund raisers. I'll take some dozens with me to share - planning on cooking them on site.
I have never been to one of these TURD gatherings - about how many people usually show up

Hey Lee --- Please get me one dozen tamales - Hot flavor .... so I can compare them to our Tamales.... about how many people usually show up?OK Art, I've added you to the growing Tamale list. I'm curious too how they compare.
We generally have about 18-20 rigs show up along with an occasional trike, bike, minivan, etc. The people count varies through as folks come and go, but generally 20-28 overnighters plus others that visit at various times.

Tahobiker is from Missouri. You know, the "Show Me State." So why don't we all sit around and show him how to eat Tamales 🙂 🙂
