Since 2001, Victor Tadeo has joined 2 older generations in running the Del Rio Restaurant, and now the Liberty Inn. Victor went to college at Mount Olive, and moved to Raleigh for several years pursuing business and artistic interests as an avid photographer. He became the manager of El Dorado in the Triangle (one of my favorite restaurants when I lived in Raleigh)- and the stage was set for him to become an important member of a hard working, entrepreneurial family. His grandfather and father run the kitchen at Del Rio, and are proud of their immaculately clean kitchen. Victor and his mom focus on the motel, where they have been renovating the rooms. Each room has a focal wall in a bright, happy color- lime green, vibrant yellow, and even pink. The rooms are comfortably sized, have TV, phone, renovated bath areas, and a comfortable chair- and are a great value at $65 a night.
When I first moved to Wallace and asked about restaurants, Del Rio was among the top suggestions. The authentic Mexican menu is extensive! Everything is there-from chicken, shrimp and steak to vegetarian- and the traditional favorites of tacos, fajitas and nachos are also available. They have a selection of Mexican and domestic brews, and of course, Margaritas!
I asked Victor what the best thing about doing business in Wallace was, his answer was the fact that this was a family town - how on any Friday or Saturday night there were families with their children in the restaurant. Having spent time talking to him about his family, and understanding how important they are to him, and how important it is to be part of something great working along side of them, I totally understand his answer.
