Traveling for work and stopped into this local restaurant. It was highly recommended and the…read moreambiance and decor were full blown authentic, such as walking through the decorated courtyard and being in the restaurant itself. I was told that the restaurant gets packed on the evenings and weekends. The staff was very friendly and I appreciated both the Spanish and English they spoke to me in! I ordered the Lonche lunch special (8/10). I had never had Lonches before and it was a nice little treat. The ground beef was placed in small bread and they provided some accompaniments to dress the lonches to your liking. I really enjoyed them and hope to come back and try out more entrees in the future! Go check them out, you won't be disappointed!

However, the food is overpriced and the service we received was dismissive. There were a lot of flies inside, and we found a fly in our margarita after a couple of sips. When we brought this up to the server, no apologizes were made and it was brushed over. We were told they replaced it with a new one, but the glass we received after was the exact same level it had been previously, which we were told was due to restaurant policy. Important to note, the "full" glass we were given not even a full glass. We returned the drink due to not feeling confident in the change. Would not recommend this place, and would recommend driving out to some of the other further restaurants in the area!

I was so looking forward to eating at Chili's. On our way home from Harlingen my husband and I…read morestopped at this location. I wish I had checked the reviews before ordering because I would've picked a Chili's that wasn't rated so low. My meal may have looked appetizing, but it wasn't. The best way I can describe the chicken was that it was slimy. I couldn't even finish the potatoes or the black beans. Everything seemed off on my plate. I will say that the chips and salsa were great. My strawberry lemonade was also good. I'm just bummed my entree was a fail. My husband had no complaints. He got the boneless wings. I had no issues with service. I didn't even want to complain. If anything I took it as a sign from God that I shouldn't be eating unhealthy anymore lol.

My family has usually met here for big get togethers such as funerals and graduations. They will accommodate large groups and try to seat everyone together. We had 23 people there with our last group. They make huge botana platters that can feed many. We got 3 botanas for 6 people, 2 all beef and 1 seafood. It fed all 23 and we had left overs. Total with gratuity was $410. Good spot. Always friendly service.

The wait for food and service was longer than expected when there was only 3 other people there.

Would've been amazing if we had that for the tamales since we ordered so many but they were great. They have chicken, pork, Chile con queso, queso, frejoles. Probably have more but it was all great. They also have an area to eat there if interested and other meals to order. But as it was Christmas we placed an order to go for beforehand. They were very friendly and good service so I highly recommend you try them! Just have your salsa on deck
