Dining with David: Barrigas Las Palmas

Barrigas Las Palmas - El Paso, TX - February 8, 2011
Once again, got to visit one of the top places in El Paso; voted one of the best Juarez restaurants (yes, as in Juarez Mexico; in sight of the restaurant right across the border).  By the way, my hotel room last night overlooked the border of El Paso, TX USA and Juarez Mexico; just a weird feeling.  This place was the selection of our customer for lunch.  Nice atmosphere.  Chips and salsa were good but not great.  I ordered their special of Puntas de Filetes (beef tips) with their special spicy sauce.  The tips were a little tough and not the best quality of meat I have had but the sauce was just the right degree of spicy; hot but not so hot you couldn't eat it.  The atmosphere was nice and pretty authentic but the food was just OK.  I think my taste buds are just too accustomed to Tex-Mex and not true Mexican food.
