Missouri Living at it's BEST!

Predominent Tex-Mex style Mexican food has such a strong influence on Ozarkians tastes for Mexican Food that I feel it is necessary to promote my new friend Alex's Taco and Burrito business in Branson.  He has only been open for a few months and already is seeing more and more people are finding out about them by word of mouth.  Even though that is the best type of advertising there is, other media as my blog could help too. 

No, it is not selfless on my part, you see I LOVE the Baja Style of food and spices that you can only find here in SW Missouri, that I know of, that is.  I have tried the burritos, tacos (including fish), and the Plate Special and can tell you, it is better than I could have ever hoped I would find in SW Missouri.  I do not want to lose this source of good food that can't be found anywhere else in the Ozarks so I am promoting them for my own selfish reasons:)

You can get there by stopping at the last strip mall on the right before the Cracker Barrel Resturant on the strip across from Olive Garden when driving west on Hwy 76 from downtown Branson.  Hours are Monday through Saturday from 11 am to 10 pm and Sunday from 11 am to 6 pm.  They are clean and nice and speak perfect English for those who don't know Spanish.

Call them (417) 334-4833 and order to go or go on in and watch them make your food and enjoy the atmosphere of Mexico City and have from bebidas such as horchita or fresas or regular fountain drinks too.  Let me know what you think, it this the best Mexican Food in SW Missouri or what????

According to the local MLS statistics, single family homes sales in Stone County MO last month more than doubled with a total of 7 single family homes closing escrow.  The highest priced one sold for $402,500 and the lowest priced one sold for $113,000.   That gave us a median price of $160,000 which is an improvement as well.  That is better than the news we expected for the Stone County and the Table Rock Lake area Real Estate Market.  So really, if you are thinking about buying a home here, you have great timing!

Condo sales slowed with only 5 condos sold in January, a slow start to this year.  The highest price was $367,750 and the lowest was $63,000.  The median price was about $150,000-which is the only good news for the Stone County Condo Market.

Real Estate Market information is local and there is good financing available at great rates for buyers with qualified credit.  For owners this is great news and a good price is now possible on your home or other investment property.  Naturally, whether you should buy or sell depends upon your particular circumstances more than any other factor. 

If you would like to go over your situation and get an honest evaluation of whether you are in a good "time to buy or sell" I will be glad to help.  You can call my cell (417)350-9743 or if you want to see what is listed on the MLS click here: Search Listings Here !!!
