I have been there several times this month for the lunch buffet with my mom, sister and a friend…read more It is a small buffet that changes daily, but what they have is really good. They have things like puerco en salsa verde, mole, carne guisada, enchiladas, some type of chipotle like sauce with spaghetti, asian noodles with veggies, steamed veggies, whole tilapia, caldo de pollo, carne dorada with onions bell peppers squash, pozole, rice, beans, caldo de mariscos, picadillo. They bring corn or flour tortillas to the table. They also have several salsas and corn chips and fresh fruits and pastries. I love their corn bread. They have good service and the owner is very friendly. The buffet with drink comes out to $11.08, tip not included. I will be trying their breakfast buffet very soon.

Los Jaibos is a great little restaurant but with a misleading name and decor…read more Apparently it started as a seafood restaurant, so the walls are painted blue with marine life depicted. However somewhere along the way they decided that was not working, so they changed the menu. They now offer a delicious traditional Mexican buffet: You will find a variety of guisos of chicken, beef and pork. Chicken in cream sauce, mole or chile sauce; a few kinds beef (the carne guisada was my favorite); pork in green sauce or adobada; cueritos en salsa; chile rellenos; veggies, rice, beans, noodles, a simple salad bar, various fresh fruits and dessert. Basically, most everything but seafood. They have bottled soda pop drinks, bottled water, or aguas frescas. Prices are reasonable. The restaurant is clean and well maintained. Service was good. There is limited parking in the front. Inside, the restaurant is air-conditioned and comfortable. It was not fancy, nor do I consider it exceptional, but it was MUCH better than Golden Corral in my opinion. I enjoyed it and believe you will too.

I tried the cod, the chopped steak And charro beans. The cod was cold, the steak was luke warm And beans had a salty weird after taste. New hot pan of cheese enchiladas were brought out, I got 3 and could only eat 2 1/4. Too much veleta like cheese. 2nd piece of cod just as cold. Pineapple chunks and Watermelon little colder than Luke warm. The entire time there were flys landing on the buffet. (Cold and hot). There were NOT a lot of flys but enough to make it noticeable. After more people came in (closer to noon) the fly swatter was put away. Upon entering, it was noticed that Christian music was being played through the sound system. One employee stood out who's back of shirt read "Made in Hell". Really? Why allow him to walk around swatting flys in a restaurant playing music that honors Jesus wearing that shirt?? Even though my stomach got full, I probably won't be back. Had to ask for my drink that I paid for even after having water brought to my table.

The Shrimp Boil, fried oysters, and Oysters Rockefeller were good but could use a bit more attention to seasoning. The oysters Rockefeller did try to get a smoke flavor but fell short on the size of the oysters. Fried shrimp and chicken were on the dry side. I also tried the ribeye. The ribeye 1/2" cut (?) was a bit on the chewy side and a little dry. Seafood gumbo did not impress me much. Visually, I could see it needed spices. I added some of the seafood boil sauce and it tasted better Corn on the Cobb was GREAT, so was the boiled crab legs were also GREAT! Lots of patrons on Sunday.

First off I don't know why people are complaining about it being overpriced. I am from California and I thought the price was cheap. I ate three plates, a bowl of posole and fruit. The food was absolutely delicious and I wish I could've gone here every day that I visited. The lady that sat us down, did not appear very friendly, but the food made up for that. You can order French toast, pancakes, or omelette, and it is included in the all you can eat buffet. They also bring out corn or flour tortillas depending on which one you select. The bathrooms are clean, the music is Christian and they are open daily from 8am to 3pm. The lady told me they serve all you can eat lunch as well. They completely change out the breakfast buffet for lunch items and each day they serve a special item. Unfortunately, I was not able to try their lunch, but I will be sure to next time. I can't wait to come back and visit!

Edith's Mexican Buffet is located on N. Cage Blvd. in Pharr, Texas, along the I-69C access road…read more 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.
