Can I just say, “Amigos–YOU HAVE DONE IT AGAIN!

I blogged about Amigos once before when I went to the restaurant with my father, and I sung its praises that time, too. Now here, about a year and a half later, it’s the same story. Amigos is an all-you-can-eat Mexican-food buffet in Longview, TX.

Now when you hear the word ”buffet”–and if you were born and raised or have lived here in East Texas for some time–you may automatically think “gross“. Or you may think, “buffets may be a good value sometimes, but the food isn’t all that great.” This is only halfway true in the case of Amigos Mexican Buffet in Longview because Amigos’ prices are not outrageous, and the food that Amigos offers genuinely tastes really good. It seems to be of a higher quality and taste more satisfying than other buffets in the Longview and East Texas area. While the Mexican food that Amigos offers may not be 100% “authentic”, it seems to be a bit more authentic than many other “Tex Mex” places that one finds in East Texas. Also, the variety of different kinds of Mexican food that Amigos offers allow hungry customers to pick and choose specific Mexican dishes that they prefer over other dishes; or if you’re like me, enjoy ”a little of everything”! The restaurant offers chimichangas, tacos, nachos, cactus, sopapillas, mixed vegetables, taco salad, quesadillas, pork, guacamole, taquitos, soft tacos, fixings for fajitas, and much, much more!

Furthermore, very briefly, the servers are very nice and they “take good care of you” as a customer; and the restaurant’s environment is inviting and fun, with its painted walls and Mexican-style decor.

I simply cannot wait to visit this restaurant again with some of my friends, so that we can share some fun times at an affordable buffet, with quality and tasty food in a fun and welcoming environment!

Last time I blogged about Amigos I wasn’t 100% sure, but having enjoyed aother meal there, I am now 100% sure–Amigo’s Mexican Buffet is officially my favorite restaurant in Longview, TX.

The restaurant is located at 2511 Judson Rd in Longview, TX; in a little center of businesses up off of the road, sort of situated in the corner of the stores.

The Longview mall isn’t the world’s largest mall, but for the area it’s the place to go. If you’re from Marshall, you’re going to go to the Longview mall if you want to go to any decent stores. It contains a JCPenney, a Bealls, a Dillards, as well as many smaller stores like Footlocker and Claires. The food court is quite acceptable and has an assorted variety of foods. It’s not like going to the Dallas Galleria, but it is certainly a great mall for the smaller surrounding areas of Longview.

I had the opportunity to visit the Papacita’s in Longview, a Mexican restaurant that I’d heard many good things about. It definitely lives up to its reputation.

I went with the choir from my school for our banquet and the food was great. Everything tasted so authentic. I don’t know if it is an official authentic Mexican restaurant, but if it isn’t they could’ve fooled me. Even with a large number of people to deal with all at once, the service was quick and efficient and the food was fresh and filled with flavor. I love the way that everything is done in an orderly fashion. The waiters/waitresses are very professional, patient, and punctual. My favorite thing there was definitely the chips and salsa. The salsa had a kick to it but was not too spicy which was perfect for me because I have to be in the mood for spicy food. The portion sizes were well worth the wait. The choir we had there was about 60 people or so and everyone got chips and dip, and a plate that had two enchiladas, one cheese and the other beef, a taco, beans, rice, and a tostada. That is just the first round. It was all you can eat which is good for anyone with the appetite to put that food in their stomachs.

I give Papacita’s a 9 out of 10 for my first visit. The atmosphere at the restaurant is more than admirable. There is an upstairs and a downstairs with the upstairs area being reserved primarily for large parties such as the banquet. I love Mexican food especially when it is authentic. I can’t wait to get another chance to go there again hopefully in a smaller group so I can try something new.

Before there was an Academy built in Tyler, I remember taking trips to Longview just to go to Academy when I was a kid. Whenever we needed to do serious shopping for hunting, or sports, or paintball or airsoft equipment, we would pile in and drive 40 minutes to Academy.

It was always a great experience. It had everything we needed and more. We would take any excuse we could come up with to “have to go” to Academy. Unexpectedly good, not just fair, prices always made us happy, and we would always end up just looking around with our mouths watering for longer than scheduled. It’s like a playground of sporting goods.

One thing I particularly like about Academy is its selection of knives; pocket knives or hunting knives, at those good prices I mentioned earlier. More than one in my proud arsenal is an Academy knife.

Gerald’s Social Club; Longview, TX; 106 E Tyler St

Gerald’s is a very laid back bar from what I had a chance to experience with my friends. I personally don’t attend a lot of bars or any place with that sort of atmosphere often, but it’s good to go to a place like that every once in a while just to experience it and see how you feel about it in person.

The selection of drinks is more than adequate considering how small of an establishment it really is. It can get a little pricey if you order a few drinks. I know that’s typical for many bars. The setup makes the bar worth visiting. It has sort of a mellow nightclub feel. My friends and I went there late one night just for the heck of it because we had nothing else to do. As it turned out, we actually had a lot of fun there. Being such a small establishment really has its benefits. More often than not, they are packed to capacity. The music was good, the service was quick, and there were not any complaints from my friends or myself as far as anything at the bar was concerned.

The only thing I wish was different was that they would stay open just a little later. I think they closed at a pretty early hour the night we went, but then again I think we did go during the week as opposed to the weekend. A very relaxing place to take a friend or two and have a drink, Gerald’s gets an 8 out of 10 for my first visit. I give it an 8 because all businesses have room for improvement. That is not to say that my experience there was not the best it could’ve been for a first visit. I will be visiting Gerald’s very soon in Longview, Texas and I hope you will too.
