    Have only sweet n low sugar. Very clean can view kitchen. Washrooms are ok. Reasonable priced and service is good.

    Great prices, quick service, and plenty of choices, but to me the food fell flat. There was plenty of it though. I couldn't even finish all the food. To me everything seemed to need salt. This could be great for someone on a sodium-restricted diet.

    We are here again, 2 days in a row!  Remember to bring a mask til you get to your tables. #others

    While waiting for my food I was treated to a small bowl of oatmeal with all the fixings, my food arrived promptly, fresh, hot and as ordered.

    Ridiculous Mexican food. Probably the best in the RGV. Worth the 20 minute wait on a Friday at…read morenoon. Awesome and fast service to boot.

    I never thought I would ever be typing these words, but it's the end of an era--hopefully not…read morepermanent. 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.
