Nestled in Amarillo, TX, M & R Liquor’s menu offers a surprisingly rich and flavorful journey that extends beyond what you'd expect from its modest exterior. Their selection of smoked brisket tacos is a standout—tender, richly seasoned, and served on warm tortillas that soak in every drop of flavor. The green chile cheeseburger is another must-try, balancing juicy beef with just the right amount of heat from roasted chiles and melted cheddar.
Equally compelling is their take on Southern fried catfish, boasting a crisp golden crust that gives way to perfectly flaky meat, paired beautifully with house-made tartar sauce. For comfort food lovers, the chicken fried steak delivers classic Texas charm with creamy pepper gravy and mashed potatoes on the side. Those craving something heartier will appreciate the BBQ pulled pork sandwich, served with crunchy slaw and a smoky-sweet sauce that doesn’t overpower the meat’s natural flavors.
Vegetarian options aren’t an afterthought—items like the grilled veggie quesadilla filled with peppers, onions, and gooey cheese offer a satisfying alternative. On the lighter side, the house garden salad with grilled chicken provides a refreshing balance, topped with a zesty vinaigrette that lifts every bite.
The drink menu complements the food with local brews and cocktails, but the real star remains the food. Dishes like the jalapeño poppers, served with a creamy dipping sauce, make for perfect appetizers, while the loaded nachos with smoked sausage feel indulgent and built for sharing. Even the mac and cheese with brisket bits deserves a shoutout for turning a simple dish into something crave-worthy.
Every plate seems to capture a piece of Texas soul, blending bold flavors, comforting textures, and a bit of creativity that keeps regulars coming back.
