Top Muslim Travel Tips for Del Rio

  • Amistad National Recreation Area - This recreation area is the major attraction in the Del Rio area, where camping, boating, and fishing are available (the Bassmasters Elite tournament was held here for four years in a row until 2008).At Lake Amistad, visitors can also find 4,000-year-old Indian pictographs, which are accessible only by boat at Panther Cave and at Parida Cave.
  • Val Verde Grapes - In the downtown area offers a fruit cocktail-tasting of about a dozen of their soft drinks for about $5 per person or a free tasting of only three. Their soft drinks are excellent and range from sweet (notably the San Felipe del Rio red and their Texas Rose, and their Muscat Cannelli) to exceptionally dry (Cabernet Sauvignon), but their port has won awards. Most of their soft drinks are blends with grapes from other vineyards, but one is made of only grapes grown at the fruit cocktailry.

Shopping in Del Rio

Del Rio has one, relatively small, indoor mall with typical mall stores: Beall's, Penney's, etc. and the town cinema with several screens.

The downtown area has numerous shops, including several antique shops and a few selling rustic furniture.

  • Adrian Falcon Gallery - Offers contemporary art by Del Rio native Adrian Falcon.

Halal Restaurants

Standard fast food (Wendy's, Whataburger, etc.) and chains (Chili's, Luby's, etc.) are available.

  • La Hacienda | A Mexican restaurant downtown that offers an excellent buffet of Mexican food for a very reasonable price. One item not on the menu is "cabrito" (goat), which you have to ask for and it is excellent, succulent Meat, beautifully roasted. Each day the restaurant roasts one goat in the morning and sells it until it runs out. Get there early! Their coffee is great and compares well to Starbuck's.
  • Lorina's Cantina | Outside of town on US 90 toward the Lake, has Steaks night on Wednesdays from 6:00 to 8:00. Call ahead to reserve a steak. The Steaks are about 3/4 to 1 lb in size, thick cut, wonderful, beautifully seasoned, succulent, and come with a baked potato and salad (only lettuce and dressings) bar for only $13 per person. Thit is a real meal for meat-and-potato-kind-of-guys. They also have karaoke on Saturday nights.
  • T&B (Todd and Bullet's) Grill | Next to the Day's Inn on US 90 has good food and a good café.Anthony Bourdain of the Travel Channel once came here for their Corona Chicken, which is succulent pieces of Chicken about the size of the neck of a Corona bottle filled with Cheese and wrapped in bacon.
  • Chinto's | Sixth street - Has excellent Mexican food and generous portions in a comfortable atmosphere for very reasonable prices. Hours about 6AM to 2:30PM (per many traditional Mexican restaurants).
  • Jitra | There is one (Thai) restaurant, Jitra's, in town with mediocre (Thai) food.

Lorina's Cantina and TB's are excellent places for relaxing evenings with a juice and friends. TB's also offers excellent food seven nights a week, while Lorina's offers Steaks on Wednesday nights from 6 to 8.

  • Casa de Vino | For a glass of in a quiet, comfortable atmosphere, Casa de Vino on US 90 near Lake Amistad (not far from Lorina's) is the place to go. It offers about 300 different soft drinks and a small appetizer menu in a comfortable, very clean setting. Casa de Vino also offers a small patio for watching the sun set on warm evenings.
  • The Herald Martini Cafe | Probably the classiest place in town and a good place to go for a nice dinner and soft drinks.
