tried them 1st time @ new location in Alex City--for my $$, Ranchito Marin in Eclectic is a better deal--both food & cost

I've been to both. I don't think either one is really outstanding. I found the food at both on the bland side. La Posada has it over Rancho Morin for service.

I was surprised at how they configured the Alex City location. It thought it might seem cramped, but it doesn't. The only observation I would make is that with the bamboo and the paper lamps, it looks like they couldn't decide whether it would be an Asian restaurant or a Mexican food.

I wish someone would open a Tex/Mex restaurant.

You should try El Rancho Grande in Alex City next to Koon's Corner if you want Mexican food. Just order the steak fajitas and you'll know the difference.

Is that the one that is downtown or the one on Hillabee street?

you have it right. Of course its hard to complain about it since this is a small town with a low Mexican population. The food is surely a bit bland. It's missing layers of flavor. I don't think they use enough garlic, onions adobo etc in their cooking. But then again folks in areas that are not used to the real thing might think its too hot or not like the taste.

That last time I ate there did me in. It just was not very good and I sensed the quality of food was so-so. I'll take Posada's blandness over that one.

I was thinking of the one near Cecils. I haven't been to that one then. I'll give it a try.

It's easy to fool the " gringos " with the canned gormets.

I know others want things "hot". But there are lots of us that "hot" causes us considerable problems. I can eat most foods at LaPosada, whereas I cannot go to many others.

having been a victim of stomach problems in the past. But, spicy does not have to mean hot. And there is a way to layer flavors that creates flavor without necessarily making it hot.

Capsaicin is actually supposed to be good for your stomach. Mexicans have a lower stomach cancer rate. Some folks have had bad experiences with just killer hot chilis that burn and just won't go away. I don't like that either. I personally like the Costa Rica Red Habneros. They hit you with some heat but then go away quickly. Try Melindas mild. Flavor and no "burn".

Any place local that carries Melindas mild?

WalMart but I believe Kroger in Auburn carries it You might try Foodland but I doubt it. I think you'll like it. The label doesn't say mild. Just WATCH OUT for any Melinda's bottles that have XX'S on the front of them. Label should be green with a picture of "Melinda".

Another one of my favorite hot sauces say for wings and sometimes greens is Franks. Not too hot and doesn't burn the rest of dinner.I think it has great flavor.
