Open only on Wednesdays through Sundays, this place is the most authentic Mexican food I can find. It's also SUPER budget friendly. You'll walk out of here feeling stuffed and completely happy that you ended up coming here. This place is extremely casual. Be warned: you'll end up smelling like a grease trap afterwards.

This place rocks for food and drinks. They do an excellent job in serving up delicious food in a very classy environment. It was just redone and is located in an iconic and historic hotel here in Nacogdoches. Be forewarned that this doesn't have the proper lighting for dinner, but their bar (with a great atmosphere and lighting) serves a full menu too!

Drinks & Nightlife

Open only on the weekends, this place is a favorite of mine. Crafting delicious beers, this place is it for an excellent IPA or a porter. I love craft beers and have tasted some from all over the world; Fredonia Brewery can hang with the best of them. Try out their 'Doches beer. They're only open on the weekend. They'll have food trucks outside for food options.
