Lira's Restaurants

Reviews & Tips

  If you like Mexican food and you're driving through Lingle... keep driving!
  
  I recently moved to the panhandle area and, knowing there is no decent Mexican food between Scottsbluff and Torrington, I trusted Yelpers' reviews and drove twenty miles to Lingle to try this place. Womp womp.
  
  I would compare Lira's to some of the lower-end chain Mexican food restaurants, but honestly I've had better food in some of those joints. Lira's menu is very limited. Selections consist of tacos, enchiladas and burritos made with ground beef and an assortment of ground beef-filled nonsense "smothered" in an unspecified sauce.  
  
  I jumped in head first and tried the combination plate, which included a tostada, enchilada, taco and beans. The beans were exceptional; it was clear that they employ copious amounts of lard, which I'm certain will have me running to the toilet in short order. Regrettably, that is where Lira's peaked. Their overuse of flavorless ground beef highlighted a lack of the authenticity I had expected after reading the reviews. The enchilada was merely a glorified burrito; the ground beef and fried flour tortilla taco was bland and unappetizing.

  I have lived in many parts of the United States as a military spouse (including Texas) and I have to say that Lira's still has my heart. I love their enchiladas, tacos, burritos you name it and I could drink their pork chili with a straw!! The staff is awesome and super quick. I make sure to stop here every time I visit and please don't forget to order a fish bowl margarita while you are there!

  Best Mexican restaurant in the area. Way better than grampa chuy's or Jose paisanos. Def worth the drive to Lingle. It's not in Torrington like it says on yelp.

  Pretty good bog standard Mexican food - the chips and salsa were good and the dishes were reasonably fresh and not overly greasy.  Enjoyed the evening and the atmosphere and Lingle is fun!
