Some restaurants go out of their way to distract you with fancy visuals and pleasing aesthetics…read more When you come to this restaurant, don't expect that, but do expect great food and great service. The restaurant is hidden and there aren't any major shopping centers near by. It is next to Hidalgo City's post office but you have to drive deep into a gated area to find it. Once inside, the owner greeted us. She seemed to be the only one running the business, and we were the only ones eating at the place, so that provided a much more personal experience. I ordered a milanesa, which is a lightly breaded steak. It tastes just like a home cooked meal, which is what I was expecting from this place. The meal was good, the price was great, and the natural lemonade was the coupe de grace. It doesn't get more authentic Mexican than this.

Needed a quick bite to eat and this popped up on yelp. Though there was only a picture-on-the-wall…read moremenu, we still decided to go. As we pulled up, the area looked abandoned and we were the only customers in the restaurant for maybe 15 minutes. They didn't have the quesadillas pictured available, but the server said they could make something similar of that sort. Thankfully, the food did not disappoint. The make-shift "quesadillas" had fajita meat, refried beans, queso blanco, and avocado with a side salad and rice. The flour tortillas were also awesome. Definitely a hole-in-the-wall but totally worth our time and money!

Las Tres Peñas - This is natural-squeezed lemonade. None of that syrup stuff.

Was recommended by a friend and I'm glad I was able to try it. They offer a variety of delicious…read morehot tamales. We got the spicy pork, beef and chicken and cheese ones. The tamales can be purchased by a half dozen or a dozen. I'll need to go back and try the other options. Clean establishment and friendly service. A must to try when in the RGV!

Ever since leaving Austin, the only place I bother eating tamales is in all cities, Queen, NY…read more(https://www.yelp.com/biz/yolandas-tamales-new-york?sort_by=date_desc). Otherwise, the "tamales" in the DC area are so MID. The tamales around here are of the Central American variety and, they're fine. But sometime they're steamed in a square shape and wrapped in a banana leaf. Of if you can find an "authentic" Mexican style tamale wrapped in a corn husk, they're something off about the Masa to filling ratio as well as the flavor profile with the DC versions often being too sweet requiring them to be drenched in some type of sauce. That's why when I'm back in TX, I load up on bbq and tamales. I was told by all the locals in the greater McAllen / Edinburg area that Delia's makes the best tamales...and they were right! Delia's is a local chain with outposts around the Rio Grande Valley. I visited a few of them, and they're all quite similar. The interior is more reminiscent of 1990's style fast food with basic plastic booths with a few older style tables/chairs. The lightning is dim florescent, with muted dull color tones. But you're here for the food, not the decor. I ordered six of the spicy pork and six of the bean/cheese/jalapeno flavors. Awww man, can I tell you...these were ah-mazing! They arrived wrapped in foil and steaming hot. Unwrap each one, and the texture of the masa is soft without being mushy. And the filling of the meat as well as the veggie varieties are perfectly spiced without being overly salty. Do yourself a favor and get the "green salsa." It's a mix of guac and salsa Verde. All you have to know, is the green salsa pairs so well with the tamales. Just kind of bummed that post-COVID, the self-service salsa bar is now closed. I asked one of the employees about this, and she mentioned it's highly unlikely it will ever return. I obviously couldn't eat all 12 in one sitting, so I took the majority back to the hotel, where I enjoyed them for lunch over the next few days. I even stopped in here before my flight back to DC and immediately froze a bunch for reheating in the next few months. Fast friendly service, and loved how there was a lady out in the dining room, demonstrating the art of working the masa, and then individually filling and then wrapping each tamale...by HAND! I was sure to drop in a few bucks in the tip jar, since you should acknowledge all the work required to produce a quality product at such affordable prices.
