As I perused the jam-packed menu from Los Comales Restaurant at 151 ½ N. Texas Ave. in Mercedes, one item in particular seemed to capture my attention – Poquito de Todo, or A Little of Everything.
I usually avoid these types of plates because, while I like a whole lot of different food, there’s usually something that doesn’t quite meet my liking, or when it says A Little, it usually means “A Little Less.”
That certainly wasn’t the case in this situation.
The plate consisted of two enchiladas, Panchos with fajita (every chip was loaded with fajita, cheese and a jalapeno slice), one chalupa, one beef quesadilla, rice and beans.
And it covered the plate – completely. What may have been most impressive was how the architects in the kitchen were able to pile so much food on a plate and not turn it into a mismatch of everything where you just dug your fork in and played guess what’s in my next mouthful?

Each item had its own section on the plate, it didn’t mix with any other item (well, a couple pieces of rice and a runaway strand of lettuce may have found their way into something else) but it was structured and organized and full, similar to how my mom would pack a suitcase, as opposed to me or my dad.
The overall amount of food was great, the variety greater and the comfort I felt from digging into each item may have been the best of all. I was ready to nap even before I reached for my heavily filled beef quesadilla inside a homemade flour tortilla.
I asked for some salsa other than the mild pico de gallo they brought with my chips and what they delivered was a high- ly flavorful red sauce, with just a touch of heat.
You could also tell that this town heavily supports the Mer- cedes Tigers football program and other athletics. I arrived about 10:50 a.m. (the restau- rant is open from 6 a.m. to 3 p.m. dai- ly) and there were several customers – ranging from around five years old to somewhere in the 70s age range) wearing their Tigers orange, from lanyards to facemasks to T-shirts and more. It truly gave it a hometown feeling.
I ordered the milanesa de pollo to take home to my daughter, a junior at McHi who was “in class.” When she opened her take home box, her eyes lit up at a large piece of deliciously battered milanesa. “Quick dad, get the ketchup please!”
Usually I can go back to her room, knowing that there was going to be some leftovers for me. When I opened her door to peer in, the box lay on the floor next to her bed. When I opened it, ready to try even the smallest leftover piece I was saddened – all I saw was the bottom of the box. She ate it all.
We both had large plates of delicious food at Los Comales and we both ended up finishing not a little, but all, of everything. Next time I’m in Mercedes for a sporting event, I’ll definitely stop here.
