***** Perico’s Tex-Mex & American Bar & Grill, 2401 Hancock Bridge Highway, Cape Coral, Florida 33990, (239) 829-0606.

Got a good Mexican/American joint for you…Perico’s Tex-Mex & American Bar & Grill in Cape Coral.

A few weeks ago Jeff Eats and Mrs. Jeff Eats did the “visiting old New York friends who recently moved to Florida thing”–and ended up in Cape Coral (no insult intended to you Cape Coralians)-long story short, they (two couples) took us to Perico’s- a real casual/reasonably priced- Mexican/American joint with a huge bar area, out door patio, stage area, tons of flat screen tvs, live bands/entertainment 7 days a week…open 7 days a week 11am-7pm.

You can check Perico’s menu which is loaded with Mexican stuff, appetizers, burgers, wings, salads, sandwiches at pericosrestaurant.com…there is also an entertainment calendar which lists all kinds of live music entertainment covering doo wop, oldies, classic rock, country, Sinatra-smooth and blues.

Jeff Eats “sampled” in one form or another chicken/beef- tacos/burritos/enchiladas/quesadillas, fried pickles, fried zucchini, cheeseburger, Philly cheesesteak sub, steak fajitas, flan and fried ice cream…and I gotta tell you, everything was A-OK! Just so we are straight, nothing gourmet or sensational or outstanding going on here–just solid bar food-(now for the sentimental stuff) that when-eaten with folks- you’ve known for 30 years (who picked up the bill)- tastes absolutely great!

Let me wrap this up for you…

With or without friends, you’ll enjoy Perico’s Tex-Mex & American Bar & Grill.
