SIOUX CITY, Iowa If you are looking for a little Southern flair, you dont have to look too far. And when I say southern, I mean south of the border and across a sea. And when I say not too far, I mean Sioux City. <\/p>\n
My wife and I took a quick afternoon trip to Sioux City and discovered a fun flair of food in a historic part of town. There is a series of buildings in a part of Sioux City called the Lower Fourth Street district. These buildings were built in the late 1890s and 1900s during Sioux Citys boom as a livestock sales hub. <\/p>\n
Rebos, at 1101 Fourth St., is nestled in this two-block stretch of old three- and four-story buildings and provides a unique setting for a restaurant that blends Caribbean, Mexican and Southwest fare. Rebos has a large open space atmosphere, full bar and plenty of room for any event. In fact, there was a bridal shower being held at the same time in a side space. We stopped by for a quick lunch but Rebos would also be a great place for an evening dinner and drinks. The urban setting has taken a historic space and given it a modern feel. <\/p>\n
I ordered a Tijuana Trainwreck which is a dish served in cast iron pan, made up of corn tortillas, layers of chile verda, shredded machaca chicken, topped with cheese, roasted corn, black bean salsa and sour cream. My wife ordered a plate of enchiladas. Both were excellent Southwest\/Mexican dishes and had great flavor. The menu also had a variety of Caribbean dishes and seafood. <\/p>\n
Rebos is an example of how time has brought a variety of cultures to a community like Sioux City. The cattle industry built Sioux City into a hub that ultimately brought beef to the world. Now the world has come to Sioux City and brought great food to the town. <\/p>\n
If you are looking for some spice and culture with your next meal stop by Rebos and you wont be disappointed. Afterwards you can take a quick stroll up and down the area of Lower Fourth Street and imagine a bustling Sioux City back in 1900. <\/p>\n
