Celebrate Alonzo's
RECEIVED Wed., Feb. 16, 2011
Dear Editor,
Thanks for doing the great article on Ray's Bar-B-Q [Restaurant Review, Food, Feb. 4]. I just live right around the corner and used to love to eat there. Ray is a great guy, and he puts his heart into the food.
I wanted to point out another of Montopolis' finest restaurants which is just a couple of blocks south of Ray's location: Alonzo's taco restaurant. Alonzo's is having its 20th anniversary this week and is now being run by the second generation of the Alonzo family. It is where the working families of Montopolis meet to eat. The simple truth is just about every school kid in Montopolis grew up on Alonzo's tacos. Like the restaurant, the food isn't fancy but it is good and where else can you get a burger, fries, and drink for under $3? Or two eggs, two Jimmy Dean sausage patties, and three pancakes for under $4?
Members of the Habitat for Humanity volunteer crew I work with have told me one of the things that gets them out of bed and on the site is knowing there will be Alonzo's tacos waiting for them.
Not only is Alonzo's a great place to eat, but John Jr. gives a great deal of his time and energy to working with at-risk kids. He's a great role model.
Anyway, I thought I would throw that out there.
