El Banquete

The Wednesday pork chop special is spectacular every time. The green salsa is nice and spicy, more so than 99% of the places in this town. If it's Wednesday and I am going out to lunch, I am going to El Banquete.

I went to this place cause a co worker recommended to me.
This enchiladas are awesome, the red sauce gives an after taste that you can find only in a few places!
Im not from around here and i always leave feedback to places that can earn it, and this one does it!

If they replace that TEX MEX Cheese for a Queso Fresco it will be even better!

I forgot the name of the meal but i will update this comment when i visit the place for second time.

Entered empty, left stuffed for rest of the day.
Homely restaurant with large portions!
Fast for a day before and after visiting!
Wanted spicy, got spicy... Everything was super delicious and great...
Heard they used to have real Mexican live music... Too bad I had no luck to hear them.

I've been meaning to review this place for quite a while so here it goes.

This is the best place to eat in Midland or Odessa. Been hitting this place for lunch since 2013 and have never had a bad meal no matter how busy the place is. I get whatever the special is and enjoy it every time. The red/green combo enchiladas are my favorite but the tacos and rellanos are just as great.

Pros: Food is served hot, portions are generous, free dessert with meal, and finally the service is excellent especially considering it's a Midland restaurant.

Cons: Only open for breakfast and lunch.

Disclaimer: The food has some heat. The salsa especially has that sneaky heat where it's not that spicy on your tongue but eventually when you eat a whole cup of it, you might start to feel like you've been maced. The menu food isn't overwhelmingly spicy, but if you have a delicate palate you may want to order accordingly.
