Unusual to find a Mexican food place with Diner in the name. But also unusual to find roast beef with mashed potatoes, brown gravy and English peas. I would definitely return here. read more

We go here quite a bit. The food is consistently good. Service is fast and efficient. The ambiance is dinerish. So spot on. The one thing we sort of dislike is the parking. It's a little tight with a full size pick up. read more

Good & Service: wonderful evening. The Parmasan Chichén was very well served and a place to go back to!

Plenty of parking (post office ) finally got my Menudo it was good not sure what I expected, would definitely eat there again, prices are very good for breakfast not sure about the rest of the day. read more

I can't even fathom the people who wrote anything less than 4 or 5 stars for this great establishment. Let me start by saying this is a family-owned and operated restaurant in the heart of mission texas with over 15 years of being the best in class for Mission Mexican food HANDS DOWN!! The service is unbeatable, friendly staff always greet you and check if your food is up to the quality and ok! I have been going here for over 10 years and let me tell you the quality of food is delicious and the plates are generous!! Can almost eat two people per entree. If you are complaining about the service, food, or prices, go somewhere else with fast food or Mexican food, and don't give Diaz dinner your negativity!! Recommendation: Try their fajita botanas, chicken enchiladas, Mexican taquitos, and even the burgers here are cooked to perfection. They have the best botanas in the RGV!! read more

0 stars! Do not eat here. Our waiter Johnny spilled the salsa which fell and splashed all over the floor and got my mom's pants dirty and my dress and leg. The cashier Julie was very rude and said we had to pay for our food, even though we had our clothes ruined. She has a bad attitude. These employees need people skills. DO NOT eat here if you want your clothes ruined by Johnny and then be told rudely you still have to pay by JULIE. read more

Nice, simple, and clean little diner. Came for a late breakfast and ordered bacon and egg tacos. I small wait, but the beak fast taco we large. The didn't skimp on the bacon and eggs. Waiter was nice and attentive. read more

We came in for a late breakfast after reading the positive Yelp reviews. Service was fast and efficient. The food was pretty good too. I had chillaquillies with chicken, topped with two eggs, over easy. The meal came with a small serving of fried potatoes, a side of refried beans and three tortillas - corn was my choice. Everything was good. Not spectacular but a good solid Mexican breakfast. The wife chose Chicken botanas which looks like fajitas to me - slices of grilled chicken heaters in a cast iron skillet with onions and bell peppers. It came with beans and guacamole along with three tortillas. She enjoyed her breakfast/brunch. The coffee was decent and our cups remained filled. The price was rather good too. The total for two meals and two coffees was about $21. The botanas was $12 alone so the coffee and chillaquillies was really reasonable. If we weren't going back on a low carb eating plan soon, I'd margined we'd eat hear regularly. Sadly most Mexican food is not low carb. But you should check it out. read more

This restaurant is okay The server took 30 min to take my 5.99 breakfast order I was about to walk out The breakfast plate Let me break the plate The eggs over easy. 5 stars Salsa. 5 stars Tortilla #1 fresh. 5 stars Tortilla # 2 was yesterday's flour. 1 star-- this was bad The beans good --4 stars The ambience just local Mexican restaurant Needs a little up keep It is not dirty but it needs some upgrading I give it 3 stars because any restaurant serving breakfast should have fresh tortillas And the Dallas cowboys should fire the coach -- this is random. Like my stop here at this restaurant -- random I won't come back but if you do it is an okay restaurant read more

Second time coming in and it's just as good! Their steak tacos came with beans and a loaded baked potato for just $10! Super filling and the meat was tender! Their parillada for one was also loaded and seasoned perfectly. The char on the onions and bell peppers were so good, will definitely order this again when I come back! read more

We stopped by this establishment a few months back and all I can say is forget all the other, better known family-owned eateries in the city because this place is the only one you need to know about. The food is always fresh-tasting and the service is always friendly. This place is a very popular Winter Texan eatery but is well.worth a visit. The "Reserved" tables you may see are for local law enforcement, a nice touch. There is no anti-gun signage at this establishment so diners can eat in peace. read more

Love their food, and the caldos are their specialty. It can get crowded during the winter season but it's worth getting their food.

Had their Pork Pozole and it was delicious. They also have the best breakfast tacos. Family friendly atmosphere. Excellent service and overall great experience. Will return. read more

Diaz Diner - Pork Pozole. - American Near Me - Mission, Texas

You can't possibly ask for a better deal than what you get here! $6.49 for 2 tacos (potato & egg) and a bowl of menudo! Everything else on the menu is also delicious! Pancakes, hash browns, egg any way, tacos, beans and potatoes... all the works! I've never seen a bigger menu! read more

I went to Diaz diner for breakfast 2 or 3 times after church. It was always crowded and worth the wait and I'd rate it a 5. Tonight we went for dinner and it was a disappointment. Hence the 3 stars an average if the breakfast meals and the dinner one. The chips were rather tasteless as well as the salsa. The enchiladas were ok and the parilladdillo had tough steak with bones, just ok chicken, and good sausage. But all tasted and looked greasy. The maragarita could have used more tequila. All was served on plastic plates and the thin one ply napkins had to be pulled from the dispenser in the table. I'll go back for breakfast but never for dinner. read more

Breakfasts are wonderful and very popular. Just had lunch there and had the best chicken nachos ever -- fresh ingredients, generous with guacamole. Friendly, attentive staff. See photos for my chicken nacho photo. Nice that they allow half orders on the nachos -- it was the perfect amount of food for me. It was so good that had there not been people around I probably would have licked the plate! read more

Diaz Diner - Half order of chicken nachos. Best I've ever had! - American Near Me - Mission, Texas

Tried this place on a whim and I was not disappointed. There breakfast and lunch are.bithbequally good. Large portions. Clean restaurant with friendly service. read more

I can't even describe how good this food is. Let's just say I went there yesterday for the first time and I was starving. Not only did I take a goodie bag home with my leftovers...which practically equals another whole meal but I ALSO am planning on returning soon...like TODAY! Yes it really was THAT GOOD! Get the beef enchiladas or the beef burrito, and you have to get the sweet tea...best I've tasted in the Valley so far. Accompanied w/ lime of course. Great food, cheap prices, friendly staff...doesn't get any better! read more

This is probably Mission/McAllen's favorite hidden Mexican food restaurant. A favorite among winter Texans especially. My parents have been regulars for several years now, and I make sure to eat there at least once each time I'm in town. Good, authentic Mexican food. Good for breakfast OR lunch. Typically packed. And extremely cheap (i.e., affordable), so well worth the value. read more

Diaz Diner - Chorizo & egg and ham & egg tacos with refried beans. By far the best chorizo you'll ever have. Don't be countin' calories now! - American Near Me - Mission, Texas

Expect it to be crowded, but expect tasty food as well. There is nothing like a mom and pop restaurant for good food, this place embodies that perfectly. My personal favorite is the fajita nachos, the beef is so succulent. The meatloaf is good too, the fried shrimp melt in your mouth. Good consistency in their kitchen. It's true that a lot of older generations go there to dine but really you'll see everyone there, love that atmosphere, very "home sweet home-ish" read more

This one of our favorite if not favorite restaurants in the Mission area. It does not matter if it is breakfast, lunch, or dinner. The food will always be delicious and the quality is always consistent. The wait staff are the best in the Valley. The prices cannot be beat. We eat here all year long and the food stays the same. read more

This is the absolute worst place I've ever been to in the RGV. I went for 4 fajita tacos almost and hour later and no response from the drive thru. I am forced to get out of my car and go inside to get my order. I was charged almost 30 dollars for the 4 tacos. I talk to the elderly woman up front and told hurt that I ordered for tacos from the drive-thru. My meal had been sitting in the heat lamps for no telling how long she goes to hand them to me the beans are crusty looking like they have just came out of a microwave. I explained to her that I didn't order fajita Taco plates that I ordered for individually wrap tacos. She takes the food to the back hand it to one of the cook and tells him that I didn't want the plate that I just wanted to for tacos and to back them up. At that point they back up the tacos and I asked her it will I don't want the tacos anymore they've been sitting there forever I would just like a refund and go home. She threw the tacos at me and and told me here are your tacos I already have your money so just take them. I didn't get a refund for anything even though I was overcharged for my food to begin with. And still was not refunded the difference. And after she'd told me to go the people in the back and the other gentleman there started laughing. I've never felt so embarrassed humiliated and robbed. And I am going to place this same exact review on every review board I can find. Hopefully I can get the owner to raise her eyebrow and really look at the kind of people that she hires and what they are doing to her business. read more

We had the worst service ordered tacos and they gave us plates got it all over the seat tried calling the owner but he's to busy to talk he's just sitting on his ass collecting money read more

Good food but service is slow. The waiters don't usually come up to check on you and the place. The restaurant is always crowded due to the small seating area and the big population of Winter Texans. read more

I don't know how to review this restaurant. It was truly the worst mexican food I have ever had. In a town with fantastic, cheap mexican food on every street corner, I can't imagine why anyone would eat mexican here. However, they also had american diner-type food and specials, that seemed to be great. Hubby had the Friday fish special, and it was really great. And the place was totally packed (admittedly, the average age in the room was 80+), but still, with that many people, literally standing room only, there must be something good about the place. Just don't try the mexican food, unless you are a fan of american cheese enchiladas, and stale chips made from flour tortillas (really!?) read more

A group of men from our resort come here quite often for breakfast and I come at least twice a week . The food is excellent, the prices great and the waitresses are so friendly. I love coming here where I am treated with such friendly service and delicious food . read more

The Diaz Diner will be our new local favorite from now on. For the 2nd Sunday in a row we have slipped in for a quick late breakfast. They do a great job with eggs! The chorizo is terrific. The portions are generous & the price is right. Service is friendly. And it really was not crowded at all today. Last week there was an after church family that played their own mariachi music celebrating a birthday. So fun! read more

Going to Diaz Dinner is like stepping back in time 20 years! The hand of time seems to have frozen here and thats just the way they like it. The food is fresh and service is friendly. Look out for our mayor when you visit. He is a frequent flier. read more

Food is AWESOME!!!! but the salsa has no favor and is water down. The building needs to be updated, and its a bit overpriced. But overall its a great place... Please your one of my favorite places, I'm cheering for you guys, make some changes!!!! read more

My favorite Mexican food restaurant on the planet. My family started coming here when I was about 12 years old. Now, even if it's not a normal time for a meal, it's the first place I want to go after getting off the plane when I come to town to visit. I've never ordered something I didn't like. The American food is delicious, especially the cheeseburger. My uncle is also partial to their chicken fried steak. Having said that, though, I've ordered the same thing for the last probably 9 or 10 years. The wait staff doesn't even ask what I want or bring me a menu (side note: that's another thing I love, it's like a great neighborhood bar where everyone knows your name, your order, and you consider the staff a friend). They just bring me the Nachos Supreme. I can't describe them, just go order some. You're welcome in advance. Prices have gone up slightly recently, but it's still a great value, especially since they load up your plate with food. You get your money's worth. read more

Great place to eat, a little out of the way, but everything is good here. We had the plates and could not finish them, very tasty but a lot of food. read more

Afriend of mine took me to Diaz Diner for breakfast---woohoo after that experience I then took my sister and several of my friends ( one at a time -of course! :) Waitresses are friendly and it really shows that you-the customer are of utmost importance--the food is awesome and oh soooooo good------the barbacoa tacos are lean and not greasy and all the other breakfasts I have had are deliciouse (I am still in the process of working my way thru the menu trying something different each time I am there) read more

Food is so good that I felt guilty that so many folks are starving to death in the World.
