I've been eating here since 1970 when menu was written daily on a small blackboard on the wall and plate lunches were $1.25, drink included. I left the area in '84 but have returned frequently ever since. Las Vegas is always my first stop, and last night was no different, meeting up with ten family members for dinner. Our server, Elizabeth, was superb. When I saw the menu, I was concerned. It was six or eight pages, with dishes I never expected to see here. But I understand why, even though my first thought was, "I hope they haven't messed with the traditional dishes." I've always maintained the cheese enchiladas here are among the three or four finest in the world, if not THE finest. That's what I always order. I also ordered panchos and guacamole. My wife ordered beef enchiladas. The guacamole was very good. The nice thing about LVC is they don't use much (if any) cilantro. This stuff ruins guacamole. Their homemade chips are beyond incredible and so is the salsa. The panchos were terrible. Way too much cheese. Ratios are important. The refried beans and rice were very dry. And finally, the cheese enchiladas. They were not good. There was very little gravy (this is what makes them so good) at all, and the gravy wasn't right. They have changed the recipe. There was also way too much cheese on top. Ratios are important. The medium (soft, medium or crispy taco shell) ground beef taco was perfect. My wife said her enchiladas were also disappointingly dry with bland gravy. I ate the taco and about half the rice, beans and enchiladas. I paid what might be my final tab here, and picked up everyone else's check. 56 years ago, I paid less than two bucks out the door. Last night's tab was over $250 with tip. Times have changed. Unfortunately, so has their food. The women's restroom was repulsive. I won't go into detail about the trash can.

I ordered this on Door Dash, so one never knows how fresh it's going to be when it arrives…read more Fortunately, it seemed to show up at my hotel room door about as fresh as if I were at the restaurant. I ordered a plate that had a cheese enchilada, rice, beans, guac, a beef fajita taco and I got a carne guisada taco on the side just to try it out. I also got chips & queso because I wanted to try that, too. I think I'm too used to crappy fast food Mexican food like Taco Cabana, because I was expecting everything to be on the smallish side. I was dead wrong. The tacos are large and the carne guisada one was stuffed to overflowing. Two people could easily split the dinner, and the extra stuff was just wasteful on my part. I ate a fraction of what came. As far as the food goes, the rice is seriously good and so are the beans. That's typically where most restaurants just throw some filler on the plate and call it a day. The guacamole was good, too. The homemade chips are also delicious. I did enjoy the queso, but wouldn't put it too far above average restaurant faire. The fajitas were very good as was the carne guisada, although I thought the beef chunks were extremely large. I didn't care for the enchilada sauce, so I ended up not eating those. But, that's just personal preference, so take it with a grain of salt. Overall, I thought it was good food at a good price and I'll probably order it again when I come back through Harlingen.

I walked in and stood there for several long minutes without being so much as acknowledged by the staff. Several staff squeezed past me while I patiently waited to be acknowledged or greeted or told to take a seat (i don't know if I was supposed to choose any seat or order at the counter but that looked like it was only people paying on their way out). So I actually didn't have a chance to try the food as I eventually felt so awkward standing there like a ghost that I simply walked out. Terrible first impression and last as I do not plan on giving them a 2nd chance. They could have great food but the lack of customer service was so off-putting I will never know.

The prices for a taco seem pretty high, however the flour tortilla is about the size of a plate and it comes with 3 eggs. The corn tortilla tacos are cheaper. If you don't want to wait for the food to be cooked , they also own the Gas station on the corner and they have the flour tortilla taco ready. Tacos in my opinion are tour generic tacos nothing really special. The corn tortilla tasted like the ones that come in a bag I was expecting more of a home made flavor. I ordered the chorizo with egg and in my opinion was very greasy. The salsa is more like a pace salsa. Another taco that was ordered was the machacado with egg. As per my friend, it was good but not as filling since it was a small tortilla. Have to try the tacos again but now on flour tortilla.

The staff is so friendly and the colorful decor always brings a smile to my face. This time, however, I decided to try their breakfast and was somewhat disappointed. I'm more of a milk and cereal type of gal, but the BF really likes to eat breakfast out so I always try to find great choices. The other places in town were super crowded and, seeking something a bit more peaceful, I suggested Piedad's. The restaurant WAS peaceful with only a few other patrons and the morning sunlight filtering through the curtains created a cheery ambiance (so many breakfast restaurants are just plain dreary). My eggs a la Mexicana were alright, but the beans were kind of bland. (I kept loading on the salsa just so they would have some taste). The hash-browns were sliced nice and thin, but were under-cooked and a bit mushy. The BF had the eggs and chorizo and it was pretty flavorless as well. He also had a bean and chorizo taco and it was about the same. BF said they must have used the brand of chorizo that doesn't have much flavor. Each of our meals came with a large flour tortilla and those were just fine. We both ordered orange juice and were served HUGE glasses, but the juice tasted like that thin, almost soury kind from the convenience store that I avoid. I'll be back to eat here again, but next time I'll pass on the breakfast and come for lunch or an early dinner.
