I didn't give it 5 stars because of the coffee. Bitter and left an after taste but the food was excellent. Hubby got the migas, which he does at a lot of the places we go. He said they were great and the homemade corn tortillas were an added bonus. I had the Eggs Benedict which were cooked just perfect. We had been meaning to go here for years but it is usually packed!! I see why now! Just go on off hours. They're open from 6:00 am-9:00 pm every day except Sunday and their open till 3:00 on Sunday. It's a good old country diner but they do have quite a few Mexican dishes also. Great service too. Give it a try! read more

Service is fast and food is HOT!!! That's a plus. However, tables need to be wiped CLEAN. FLOORS ARE FILTHY! Paper all over floor, dirty napkins and straw wrappers on the floor. Does anyone know how to sweep up crumbs and food under and around the tables??? No ambiance AT ALL. Blinds are broken. Back door looks like it got sprayed with shotgun pellets. Prices are reasonable and chicken fried steak was good. Mashed potatoes were runny this time. Corn was delicious! I was embarrassed to bring my friend in there due to the unclean conditions at 12:30pm. She had to ask the waitress to wipe the table a second time. Unappetizing for sure. No excuse for unkept, messy and unappealing floors and tables. Come on, Country Diner!!! Who wants to recommend your restaurant to friends and walk into filthy floors and unkept dining room??? Food isn't ALL you should be serving. A clean, dining room is the FIRST thing your guests see. (Or not). If my friend was by her, I know she would have walked out. I have been there 3 times and today's conditions were THE WORST! The food was good. read more

When it comes to a restaurant like this it's all about expectations, right? This is essentially a greasy spoon ran by Mexicans. I'm from Mexico City, and I know real Mexican food, but breakfast is what I got at Country Diner Cafe. There was absolutely nothing wrong with any of the stuff we got. Service was quite nice, in Spanish, and that's awesome. I know some of the folks in the restaurant didn't speak Spanish, but some of the ladies working were speaking English too. Definitely the best part was the price. Hard to get a full sit-down meal for cheap nowadays, but they have it. And they serve it with pride and love. Good for them! I'll definitely come back and eat here time and again. Is it an amazing restaurant? No, but it's not trying to be that. It's trying to serve you honest food for honest prices with a smile. They do that very well! read more

Everything is delicious, especially their breakfast- the migas are my favorite. The staff are friendly and they have great pricing. 10/10!

A wonderful cozy restaurant with great options for breakfast, lunch and dinner. The service is consistently friendly and attentive. This place has quickly become our go-to spot any day of the week or weekend, whether for a casual meal or a relaxed evening out. read more

Walking in it was busy a there is very limited seating to wait. We stood by the wall until people were called to there table. The wait was not long at all maybe 10 minutes. It's small on the inside as if it was a fast food restaurant. Normally you receive complimentary chips and salsa but they ran out by time we got there. The prices for the food is reasonable and the food was great. You get good portions for the amount you ate spending. The only thing I did not like was them leaving trash in the middle of the walkway in front of the cash register. I understand they were closing however you still have guests. Either sweep an put it in the dust pan as you go along or wait until the customers have left. read more

I loveee this place!! I always get pozole & my man gets menudo. authentic mexican food & easy on the wallet

Came in on a Wednesday for late breakfast, 11 am. Ordered the simple breakfast, (2 eggs over medium, 2 pancakes, 2 strip bacon and hashbrowns.) Eggs, hashbrowns and pancakes were hot. Bacon was obviously cooked HOURS ago with cold bacon grease caked on it. Pancake syrup was room temperature. Most places do this these days. I've never understood why serve breakfast with cold syrup. Overall Food was average except the bacon was terrible. Waitress was average as well but friendly. She did offer to top off my coffee twice. Coffee was nothing special. Some have said the place needs an update. I felt it was just fine for a place called Country Diner. I enjoyed it's cleanliness and simple charm. Price was CHEAP compared to other local breakfast places. I won't be back for breakfast but the aroma of their Mexican dishes makes me promise myself to come back and try some Mexican food for dinner some evening. I give it 3 stars for breakfast. read more

It's an excellent place to eat. The service is great and their prices are very reasonable.

There was a variety of food choices including Mexican and American. Don't think you will go away hungry here. We went after church there was not a long wait. Two of us had breakfast and neither disappointed. One had the pot roast, she said it was delicious. It was a large portion. We had our coffee filled twice and drinks twice. Very efficient staff. The only negative I could give, was the area in the kitchen where the wait staff walked had a couple of napkins on the floor. They could have swept it up to keep up a clean appearance. We will return. read more

We drove across two towns to eat here on Sunday. The restaurant states that they close at three on Sunday. We arrived almost 30 minutes before closing and they would not seat us even though there were many people at tables seated inside. If you're closing time is at three you should seat people until three. If you don't want to seat people after 2:30 PM, then you should state that your closing time is at 2:30 PM. It creates ill will for people who drive all the way over to you and be turned away. read more

Food is delicious, service is good and prices are decent. I usually go for their pozole or breakfast, never been disappointed. read more

Food is great I will recommend this Restaurant to anyone the service excellent Prices that can be beat they are generous with the food

Avoid at all costs. Prices and pictures on menu are wrong. Don't expect anything other than Sysco crap thrown together and served by waitstaff who couldn't care less. Awful read more

Service was quick, our coffees cups did not go empty and the people there were pleasant. Very yummy food! I ordered the Migas with toast, hubby ordered the steak omelette with pancakes and it was very good. The pancakes were more on the dry side, potatoes lacked seasoning, but other than that the food was delicious! read more

Classic breakfast joint, favoring Mexican food. Busy, but quick service. Good coffee and pretty good breakfast. Two sauces served, red and green. Both tasty. My "Mesquite" scramble was full of veggies and eggs were fluffy and not dried out. Good stuff. Reasonable prices. Would definitely dine here again. read more

It was a great breakfast. Just a plain 2 egg breakfast with 4 sausage links and 2 pancakes. It was like six bucks out the door plus tip Everything was hot and tasted great I couldn't ask for more we'll be coming back read more

Stopped for a quick lunch with my CFO, aka wife, and had a great breakfast. The staff were so welcoming and prompt. I had the Huevos Rancheros and she had the Chilequiles. Both dishes were seasoned very well. The Ranchero sauce was delicious. She thought that the Chilequiles were too spicy, but that's the white girl in her, I thought they were just right, but that's the Mexican in me. Well definitely be back for more! read more

Good portions, good prices, friendly service. My favorite meal is the sopes. I eat here often and enjoy it every time.

Old school diner, absolutely fantastic food! I had the divorced eggs,and some of the best salsa I have found here in Texas. They are making the best out of the older building they are in, but the price on everything does not reflect the inflation we are all experiencing. 3 people for 36 bucks is a value in anyone's book! Make sure you get potatoes, sooo good! read more

Customer service is great. Mexican food is great. American food is ok. Menudo was great. Suggest sticking to the Mexican options for the yummiest choices. It's conveniently located and we will definitely frequent and try more menu items! read more

Country Diner Cafe - Menudo - Mexican Near Me - Mesquite, Texas

I really hate to put such a bad review on this place, especially given that in the past it has always been amazing food at an amazing price but this is an unforgivable mistake in any restaurant or establishment in the food industry. When I took the 2nd cup up to the register to point out the disgusting issues,, the ladies s who told me to my, "It's okay, we fix, it's ok" no it's not okay. When someone sends a plate or dish back because it has something fornicating disgusting like somebody else's lipstick, a booger, just plain bad food, even a rat turd! You change that out, whole new thing, you do not just dump it wipe it off or simply take it back and just tell the person okay we get you new one. 'You didn't get me a new cup of coffee, you brought me the exact same cup of coffee you just wiped it off with a table wrag and you missed the lipstick! It was the same cup, the same crack in the cup, same level of contents, that lipstick was in the exact same spot! This place to be turned into the health department and shut down until they go through there and clean everything. If they just told me we don't have any clean cups, we don't have any clean dishes, styrofoam okay, yeah we'll probably wind up taking some of it home with us anyway. My wife could see literally hundreds of Styrofoam cups stacked up but they could have brought me a cup of coffee in. No I'm not making a mountain out of a molehill on this, think about the times we are in with covid, nasty people with weird diseases, STDs, things like that that can be transmitted by bodily fluids. Again this place should be closed down by the health department and they go through there with a fine-tooth comb. Something is wrong at this restaurant! read more

Well I'll be ... I thought I'd reviewed the Country Diner Cafe in Garland. Better late than never, as the saying goes. Let me start with; Maybe a 4 star? I wobble on this one. Let me explain; a 3 is an OK restaurant in my way of looking at things. I will return to a 3 and in this case I know I'll consider it for breakfast in the future. Everything we've ordered has been good and they have a salsa that I think is really, really tasty. I've had better Huevos Rancheros. What I got was good-good enough that I don't feel the need to drive down to El Patio, in Presidio, Texas, to get the best I've ever had. (insert smiley face thingy here --- :)). I'll give you an example; I'm used to a corn tortilla under the eggs with the salsa covering the eggs. I couldn't find that tortilla anywhere. It isn't a huge problem and the meal was tasty on its own. Country Diner Café serves in the classic café style. The place is neat and clean. The wait staff is prompt. I did have to send my meal back as I ordered grits instead of refried beans as I'm on a keto diet and beans are a no-no. It was done graciously and quickly. Mistakes happen. ** side note ** this was the second time eating there and I ordered the Machacas, not the Huevos shown in the attached picture. Tish loved the steak omelet and I have sworn I'll go back to give it a try. Tish is not easily impressed. I loves me some good steak omelets. Wrap up - a nice cafe that is clean, priced right, and tasty salsa with chips (do love the chips). Go ahead and give it a try. Let me know what you think. read more

To be honest I was a bit skeptical about going in upon arriving in the parking lot. However my niece highly recommended I give this place a try. That being said it does have the old country feel inside but the food is definitely authentic mexican! They bring you pork rinds aka chicharrones y chips with both green and red salsa. The chicharrones and green salsa are DELICIOUS! Then we ordered menudo and tbh I haven't had menudo this good since my mom used to make it. The menudo here was real close to tasting like my moms which says a lot! Next is the tortillas... I can't say that I've had tortillas this good again since my mommas. The tortillas de harina are a must. Lastly, the only bad thing I have to say is that the coffee was ok but again it's hard to find a good cup of coffee so I gave them a full five stars because the coffee wasn't bad it was the same as any other place. read more

I love this place and regularly eat here. Their menu is very well priced (for example a breakfast sandwich at jack in the box is $4-6 and this place has multiple full blown breakfast meals for around $6) I will say don't ever ever ever order flautas if you're a fan! I eat flautas all the time and this place has the worst!!!! Everything else I've eaten has been great tho so please check them out and make your own opinion read more

Food was decent and service was on point, this is a hidden jewel with great prices and def not small proportions but rather Texas size worthy. Will def be going back! Tea was also fresh and that's a BIG PLUS For ME! Will be taking others here and recommend to all read more

This is a great spot for breakfast/brunch! I love a tasty holeinthewall and this is that! They have a great mix of classic American and Mexican breakfast and all is yummy. I love how they toast their biscuits. Very affordable! Only complaints are the gravy doesn't have a lot of flavor and sometimes I feel like the eggs are over cooked, especially on their omelets. read more

Good food with modest prices. The cafe is frequently busy with people that work hard. Here they get filled up with a reasonably priced breakfast menu. The food comes out hot and quick. If it's raining the Resturant is usually even busier. The menu has some traditional American cuisine and rest of the menu leans more Tex-Mex. Someone from our party always has quite a bit of leftovers when coming for lunch or dinner. You will not find a better dining bargain. read more
