Las Brisas

  I spotted a big sign for Las Brisas shortly after passing Sikeston, MO on I-57 E and decided to take my chances--trying a place without yelping it first is a rare thing for me these days.
  
  It's in the middle of nowhere and didn't look like much from the outside, but as soon as I stepped inside, I was ecstatic! The same kind of painted chairs/booths as the great Mexican restaurant I used to frequent in Memphis! I had to ask the young man which part of Mexico they are from and he said Jalisco, where the El Gallo Giro people are from as well (I believe).  From the booths, chairs, table tops to the wall paintings, the interior oozes cultural pride.  
  
  The food was as impressive as the décor. Complimentary chips and salsa both above average. My travel companion practically scraped clean his huge plate of chimichanga, rice and beans. While the chicken enchilada and chile relleno might have been a little too cheesy and saucy for my timid palate, I still ate more than usual and he had no problem helping me finish up the plate. As he dipped the last chip into the rich cheese and sauce mixture on my plate, he declared this as the best Mexican food he had since leaving California (take it with a grain of salt as hunger might have clouded his judgment).
  
  Driving through the mid section of the country isn't the most exciting road trip of all, but finding a place like Las Brisas will surely brighten up your drive! Right off Exit 12 on I-57 with gas stations nearby, just do it.
