    "Warm beer
    Bad food

    I stayed at South of the Border a few years ago, what a dump. Its pretty much just a place to stay and not get out of your truck. Not a very safe place to walk the dog at night. Kind of sad too. Times have sure changed since its hayday back from the 50's to the 80's .

    I agree with Smokey12 on this. I stopped a couple of times during my driving career only because of my HOS were tight. I was not impressed at all. The parking was free but there were not a lot of food choices here. I stopped while rving with the wife and she wanted to know what possessed me to stop here. She was right. I can't believe that this tourist trap is still open.

    Wow. Used to get hot dogs there and parked there. Last time I visited FedEx trucks were literally banned from the property (I guess there were too many complaints about their drivers using the parking as a transfer point and taking up all the needed parking spaces).
