Edith's Mexican Buffet is located on N. Cage Blvd. in Pharr, Texas, along the I-69C access road. You'll find it on the west side just south of Nolana, between the Red Roof Inn and Volvo Trucks. Open daily from 8:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m., Edith's offers a reasonably priced, home-style Mexican breakfast and lunch buffet. The restaurant also has locations in downtown Edinburg and in Mission, which reflects strong support and confidence from local customers. This was my first visit to Edith's. The exterior of the building appears recently updated, though parking can be limited during peak hours. Be aware that parking on the hotel side of the divider will result in towing. While signs are posted on the restaurant door, an additional sign on the divider itself would be helpful. Street parking is not available. I remember when this space housed a pancake-house-style diner, and much of the same furniture is still in use. Some booth upholstery shows wear and a few small tears, though the seating remains comfortable. The breakfast buffet features a wide variety of traditional Mexican favorites: several styles of scrambled eggs, beans with or without chorizo, fried potatoes prepared plain, with chorizo, or a la mexicana, chilaquiles, hash browns, huevos rancheros, cheese in salsa, menudo, oatmeal, fresh fruit, and more. Our server, Soraya, was especially friendly and took our drink order as well as requests for eggs cooked to order. Pancakes and waffles are also available upon request. My eggs arrived promptly and were cooked perfectly over medium. The iced tea is offered sweetened or unsweetened. Although I was told the sweet tea was freshly brewed, it did not taste fresh to me and had a hint of lime. Soraya kindly replaced it with unsweetened tea at no extra charge, which was clearly fresh brewed and excellent. Corn tortillas are warmed, while the flour tortillas are freshly made--definitely the better choice in my opinion. Overall, the food was very good. The guisos, potatoes, bacon, beans, and chilaquiles all had solid flavor without being greasy. The chilaquiles were slightly dry on their own, but adding queso in salsa verde made them just right. Some bacon pieces were less crispy than I prefer, though it was easy to select the more well-done pieces. I enjoyed my breakfast and would gladly return. I noticed that some reviewers complained about Christian music playing in the background, but during my visit the music remained subtle and did not interfere with conversation. Personally, I enjoyed it. I look forward to returning to try the lunch buffet, especially the chile rellenos--one of my favorites--along with the many other guisos they offer. read more

We came for breakfast and food is good and tasty but our server Kristie , was just A plus . We never had to request a refill . She was extremely proficient, courteous and friendly . I definitely recommend Kristie as a server and the lunch buffet does not disappoint either . read more

Always good! Never disappoints, except when they left Weslaco. Bring us back another location. We need a breakfast buffet in Weslaco again!

Pharr location. We waited about 20 minutes to be seated. The table was super dirty like visible dirty, I had to ask for them to clean it. The tortillas were burnt not little crispy, burnt lol I left it on top of the plate so the server could see it. Yes I know that is not her fault. The chilaquiles used to be good, today it was like if they opened a bag of Tostitos and added water down green salsa. It was disappointing. I used to love this place. The server was nice and attentive. They used to let you get in the waiting list thru yelp not they don't, and that is also a disappointment. I paid $50 for 2 buffets, 1 coffee and 1 chocolate milk. read more

Of course during busy hours parking is going to be tight they have parking on both sides of building Services average no complaints When you walk in the main door there's a waiting lobby and you have to sign in to the waiting list .it's a tablet easy to use very simple you take a seat and they call you when they are ready for you It is a buffet however particular items must be ordered with the waiter examples are -omelettes ,eggs ,pancakes ,French toast ,waffles, and toast. inside the building everything looks new and fresh I am bathrooms are very very clean I've only had the breakfast everything taste as expected nothing out of the ordinary If you make it just before lunch and you want to eat lunch they charge a dollar extra In between swapping from breakfast to lunch I was told there was a five minute wait so just a heads up if you're looking for Mexican buffet that has all the favorite Mexican foods you will go to "los compadres"very crowded ,sucky parking but worth it just because the food and variety But I will definitely be back to Edith's good food ,good parking ,good service,and nice fresh environment. The bad: Service was average (not bad) Men's urinal out of service read more

It's our first time ever coming to this place, and I can just say wow. Coming from a Houstonian, let's just say this place had the best food! Service was good too! I will just say that there was a bit of a complication with their waitlist, but overall it was great! 10/10 would recommend and come again the next time I visit my birthplace! read more

Edith's - Mexican Buffet - Spaghetti verde, pollo fajita y arroz - Mexican Near Me - Pharr, Texas

Orange juice was spoiled --brown color and foul taste. Waitress had the audacity to lie to my face and say it was not spoiled just the Brand they use!!! Absolutely worst service around. She called me a liar when it was evident! NEVER going back. read more

Golden Corral...step aside because Edith's has arrived. Edith's takes the approach of quality over quantity...some buffets present you with many more options BUT the quality isn't there. Edith's has a smaller buffet option but they are what we can call the "greatest hits" of Mexican food. They have mole, carne guisada, puerco en salsa, enchiladas, menudo, pozole...and the list goes on. Each one feels like my mom cooked it in the back and told them to bring out...not many Mexican buffets can reach that home cooked flavor... Edith's definitely did. I personally had the enchiladas...the cheese on top was nicely toasted. They also had menudo...the tripe was clean, cooked well, and no fat on it. They also had the right amount of pozole in it...I definitely had more than one bowl of it. If there is one downside of the place...is the parking and the wait. There is a parking spot for veterans so kudos to them! I made sure to use it considering I served....and we waited about 20 mins before entering. But I won't knock it because you should know that parking will be tight and there is a wait as well...and if you still decide to go, you already knew what to expect. If you like quality over quantity...and good homestyle cooking...stop by Edith's! read more

Over priced buffet and not a great selection. I was very disappointed... Will not be going back with my family. read more

Over rated! Food is kind of bland but the service was good. Most likely will not come back!

The food was cold and super greasy. The waitress was not helpful at all. It was our first time and didn't realize we had to order some things on the menu separately. Then the buffet turned from breakfast to lunch and when I went to get one .... Did I mention it was one thing from the lunch buffet, the waitress charged me extra and failed to mention that she would do that. I would have not taken the one food item! I honestly never do buffets but I had heard it was ok so I wanted to try it out. Nope ! Never again. read more

Disappointing. We were sat and waited 10 mins for a server to come even ask us what we wanted to drink. It was not busy, maybe there were three or four other tables. Then went to the buffet and walked it before deciding, no. Everything looked cold and leftover, especially the fresh vegetables.. old, wilted, dried out, not even the least appetizing. We won't go back. And that's awful, because we love supporting Christian businesses, but this one needs to at least have fresh veggies and warm food. read more

My first experience going was very good. Second time which was this past Saturday very disappointing no spoons where available food on buffet line empty and I understand inflation is on the high. But gosh $5 for drinks outrageous. Eggs to oder came back cold. Server were not friendly n took forever too attend me n my granddaughters. Won't be going back. I need a refund read more

The food had too much MSG and u knew it did. Which makes a person feel sick. The food bar was a little sloppy and messy. The service was good. The facility was clean. The food flavors were decent. All u can eat corn and flour tortillas upon request. read more

Gurl, I gave it a second chance for breakfast!!! Still left like Eh! First time around;no clue there was a secret menu to the buffet?! like gurl this isn't Edith's Secret , breakfast food was either too salty too cold, too old, the only thing hot was the spoon, and let me tell you it was HOT, gurl I burned my hand trying to get weenies and egg, there is some kind of diabetes bar but not sure the purpose? (is it another ediths secret?) they used the batter for the biscuits to do the waffles it was like a biscuit waffle half cook and she has some kind of Jesus music that replays I get it she's greatful with the lord but not everyone wants to hear it (change the music ), space is nice maybe the third time it's the charm? read more

I've been to many Mexican buffet restaurants in the Valley where the food is so good. The food here is just average. Big flash looking restaurant for Bland, boring food. Not worth the hype! read more

My husband and I have been going to Ardith's since they were i. Weslaco. This restaurant has some amazing food. The breakfast me ni includes made to order items. The tortillas are home made. They have a great selection of food and the owner has always been super kind to us. This is a Christian owned establishment and I highly recommend it. Oh yes their sweet tea and lemonade are to die for. read more

Love this place! Everything was clean, gloves were provided near the buffet area. Delicious, fresh food and kind staff! I will definitely be coming back. read more

If you get there early there's plenty of food. We usually go Saturday morning. The food is texted breakfast.

The food on the Buffett looked delicious and I loaded my plate. The first few bites were great until I bit down on metal clamp. The remainder of the food was really good and I appreciated the waitress bringing apologies from the Manager, who never showed up, nor offered to reduce or delete the cost of my meal. We might return but I will chew slower. I don't need another chipped tooth. read more

It is the best by far I've had in a buffet setting. I highly recommend! Great atmosphere, staff is helpful, overall love it!

Food is good clean but one thing is they never brought tortillas waited 10 min for them and never came food was cold I understand their is alot of people but that's to much waiting for tortillas it's a mexican restaurant it's something crucial to have them faster read more

Edith's - Mexican Buffet - Mexican Near Me - Pharr, Texas

10/10 faith-based restaurant. Verses on the walls and Christian music playing. Came on Valentine's Day around 1ish. Wait time was good, about a 30 minute wait for it being a holiday. Got seated and greeted pretty fast. Super nice waitstaff was always on top of things before we even asked, very attentive. Food wise, was pretty good food meat was nice and tender. Will definitely be back. :) read more

Decent food good service but location is way to small for the amount of people that want to eat there.

Buffet wasn't fresh ..the flour tortillas were too powdery.. the mash took more than an hour to refill no stars for me

Good crevice but the tortillas might take along long time for you to get them the food is alright not going to complain

Not a huge variety of different foods but what they had were decent. Extremely small buffet area and kept trying not to bump into people while serving food. But their drinks were good and staff was excellent. Prices I felt were high but everything is expensive nowadays so it may be priced right for you. Overall a decent outing. read more

Stopped by with my husband and son for brunch , food was nice and warm, it was running low on a lot of options but eventually we're refilled . Although food was not bad, I feel it was just a little too bland for my taste, no real rich flavors in anything I ate which made it not very memorable . Staff was nice and welcoming, I had a Iced white chocolate mocha and it also was very bland but will be happy to stop by again and give it another try one day read more

Not really what I expected after all the hype of the opening and the full parking lot every time I drove by. Probably won't go back as there are plenty of Mexican restaurants with music better food. read more
