You may be right. Pepe and Nino were brothers I believe.

I used to eat there every Wednesday for lunch.

I wish Sonic would give away the giraffes, monkeys, elephants and mermaids on their cups again.

It seems that other drive ins did that, too. I say that because
there wasn't a Sonic when I was cruising on the weekends.

Since we have lids on the cups that could be a problem.

Herman's was the best Seafood restaurant I have ever been to...maybe it was my young taste buds or something--but it sure seems that way to me. I knew restaurant owners who went there for their food when they ate out--says something about a place.

If I didn't have the Red Snapper, @ $1.95, I'd have the steak
and tails. 3 lobster tails and a strip of steak. $4.95. Betty
was always our waitress. She could strip the bones from that
Snapper in the wink of an eye. It was almost worth buying it
to watch her strip... the bones! The bones!

Sometimes Nino's can be the best Tex-Mex in town.

You are correct as usual.

Done pretty good for a guy who got his start waiting tables at El Charrito

[CarltonsKeeper]

You are correct as usual.

I stopped in out of curiosity and checked out Nino's and obviously ate lunch! This was on December 1st, and the food was probably the worst I have ever eaten. I was there from 11:45 a.m. til nearly 12:30 p.m. and only about a dozen customers inside!! I was hoping it would really be good but was sadly disappointed. If you want Mexican Food thats as "Good" as the old El Charitto's, go to Temazcal's Mexican Restaurant in Chickasha on N.W. 2nd street under the railroad overpass! It's decor is great, clean, wonderful service and as good as you will find in Oklahoma! Been eating there for years, well worth an occasional drive. Another thing about Nino's, there remodel consisted of some very poor paint slopped on the walls with shiny galvanized sheet metal wainscoat!! I hoped for more, SAVE YOUR MONEY!!! Actually, I woke up in the middle of the night with stomach cramps!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (S.W. 72nd & Western)

Sorry to hear that. I've never been to that one, on N.W.
Expressway.

I'd have to echo Carlton'sKeeper on the NW Hwy location too. At least it was 5 yrs ago the last time I ate there. All the Alvarado family spin-offs have really gone downhill. I haven't been to Pepe's in about 20 yrs. Is he still around? Any good?

[gen70]

I just learned that Anna Sanchez of the El Rancho Sanchez family has passed away. RIP Anna.

I loved the restaurant they had on south Western. A few other restaurants I miss from that part of town....one was Monterrey house on SW 59th where Sherry's diner is now. Also there on 59th just west of western was a restaurant called McHenry's. they had good 'homestyle' food. A little farther west was Roy Rogers....I loved the "Double R" burger. Further west still was Underwoods BBQ. They were pretty good. There on the corner of 59th and Penn was a Jack-in-the-Box. We used to go there before school and I could get a hamburger for breakfast! Further along to the west, where the San Marco's Mexican restaurant now is was a Taco Tico. they had the best hotsauce. *Sigh*......I lament the passing of these places. The chain restaurants have pushed them all aside.

Is Zamudio's still around? I liked their food before we left the state in the 80s.
