Dining Out Southeast: Hector's Kitchen, Attalla, AL

After our first visit, we decided we were going to "eat our way through the menu."  We're making progress! 

For the last visit, we chose the Jalapeno Cheese Sticks with Hogoa Sauce $7.99  These are NOT your typical run of the mill, served with mild marinara sauce cheese sticks. These are battered with a jalapeno spicy breading and served with a Hogoa Sauce. What is Hogoa Sauce? It's made with fresh tomatoes, sofrita, Columbian seasoning and lots of patience. This is another example of the time and attention to detail that Hector puts into his food. When a restauranteur slow simmers an accompanying sauce for 2 hours, you know that every food item on the menu is made in the same way.



Our next new item to try was the Hot Honey Habanero Wings $9.99 for a full appetizer sized order. These were served complimentary by ordering mojitos! These wings were full of flavor, but not overly spicy. They were sticky from the honey and absolutely delicious!


I ordered one of the numerous daily specials: Nacho Bowl with Shredded Chicken $6.99 First things first. Look at the attention to detail in this presentation. This is not your Taco Bell nachos. This bowl is layered with chips, queso, black beans, a ton of shredded chicken, shredded cheese, pico, and sour cream. If this item is on the specials menu when you visit, give it a try!


Sweet Harold new menu item to try was the Chorizo Burger $8.99.  The burger is made with a spicy Spanish style chorizo on a lightly toasted Kaiser roll topped with a spring mix of greens, fresh tomatoes (he chose to omit, so it's not on the picture), onion, and pickles, pepper jack cheese and served with (my favorite) Chimichurri Mayo on the side.  You also have a serving of tortilla chips and choice of salsa or queso.  He really enjoyed the spicy heat of this burger and said he would definitely order again.


If you haven't been to Hector's, you seriously need to check them out.  There's something for everyone on the menu!
