Located right on Main Street. C.W. stands as the lone Tex-Mex place on Main Street. It also stands as one of the few restaurants on Main street. Before I get started, I would like to say that the entree range is more around 8-12 dollars rather than the other options I had available. I've been to the restaurant about four times and would have to say that the food is quite good. Ideally, I would rate this restaurant at a 3.7, but I rounded off to four. This is a small restaurant and recommend you don't bring more than four people unless you know that you have room as there's only about 10 tables and not much room. When you arrive, you are greeted by a bowl of tortilla chips and salsa. This salsa is honestly the worst part of my visit every time. I love salsa and have tried many as well as making my own. Frankly, this is a terribly bland salsa that just tastes like a watery tomato. It lacks in spice and kick and leaves much to be desired. However, their entrees are nearly all generously portioned and affordable. My personal favorite is their BBQ specials which involve BBQ pulled pork, chicken and etc. The pulled pork stands out the most in my opinion. It's tangy and sweet and has a smoky kick to it. It's savory and not dried. This is definitely not for those who like tough BBQ. Their chicken is well grilled and my only complain is that the food could have some more flavor and kick. One on occasion it tasted as if the chicken was barely marinaded. The rice is very flavorful and my personal favorite. Not very spicy, but packs a good sweet and filling sensation in the mouth. Their pico de gallo and beans don't seem very seasoned, but if you're a purist you won't mind. The dessert is where this place really shines. Whoever makes the desserts needs a medal because they are beautifully crafted, fresh, and full of rich taste. Their churros and flan are the best desserts. Rich in taste and the texture is just right. The churro is a little pricey for the portion, but the taste makes up for it. The flan is a good portion and fantastically made. Overall, C.W. stands as a good family place for the diner who enjoys casual Tex-Mex. The joint lacks in spice so fans of spicy Tex-Mex might not be satisfied. however, the food is affordable with good portions and fantastic taste. It's one of the best restaurants in the area and is delicious. I will return as usual and recommend it to you all. less
