    Nopal y huevo plate
    Raquel A.

    We ordered breakfast, the nopal and eggs plate and the huevo ranchero with barbq. It was busy when we got there. Service was pretty attentive. Our food did take a long time to be made and not as hot when served. Tortillas are hand made and very good. Overall, taste was good and service good.

    No debit or credit yet!

    So first off FYI, as of 6/25/17, they only accept cash at this place and has been that way since it opened but credit/debit usage will be coming soon. When we first arrived I was surprised that the lighting was low and made it a little calmer and relaxed for me. The menu was simple and had some similarities to other restaurants in Harlingen such as Mi Rancho and Tejano Grill. I know the owner has a 13 restaurant empire or something so it's possible they own those other places. I opted for a breakfast special on the menu, but I forgot the name :( that included nopales, chicharrons, barbacoa, and egg all on the same plate. Whoa. When we received our order, they sent out the wrong food for the table. So they had to take it back and get the correct order. Once we got the right food, plate was huge and I enjoyed it! My mom's GIANT taco looked good as well and the fajita had definite smoke flavor as if it was cooked on the bbq. My wife had a Tejano plate which was 2 enchiladas with carne guisada. She said she enjoyed it but it wasn't as good as Mi Rancho. I would probably come back but hopefully once they add credit fuctionality.

    Enmoladas

    Extremely pleased with the food and service here! Our server Rachel, made our late lunch enjoyable and constantly made sure we didn't need anything! We got the cheese enchiladas and enmoladas and they did not disappoint. The food had a very delicious homemade taste and the tea was amazing! The place is big enough to not have to wait around for a table and Rachel provided quick and friendly service which made our dine in a breeze! Debit/Credit card are accepted as well as cash. (Noticed in previous review that it was cash only! However, that is no longer the case!)

    We came for breakfast and found that this is a busy little spot! Food was great, portions were large. I have no complaints.

    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.

    Wow, while this place lacks flair, it far exceeds fair!…read more I've been scared of trying this janky-looking establishment out of fear of the wrath Montezuma would likely revenge upon my butt. Although the place looks like something to be feared, it is the closest restaurant to me, and last night I didn't want to venture far for my Mexican fill. After three months of driving by, I finally built up the courage to stop, and I am glad I did! Although the interior decor matches the plain and homely exterior, with no decorations except a few of the free posters and some mismatched tables and uncomfortable chairs, the food and service was among the best in town. First, the service. There were several waiters for this tiny establishment, and they could hustle. The drinks never went empty, and anyone who knows me, knows I drink a lot! Probably had five or six glasses of tea, and I never sat for even a moment, parched, at Platillo's. The hostess was nice and more-than-accommodating at one of my special requests. Next, I asked for hot sauce and jalapenos, as I often do, and the waiter asked, "Tabasco good?" I am not a big fan, but that seems to be number one standard in the industry, so I usually agree. However, on his own, he brought me the hotter, tastier, house sauce! Had he not took it upon himself, I would have never known it to exist. The only place to offer up a house hot sauce down here, and it is was worth that alone, because it was amazing. Which leads me to the food. The food was excellent! Homemade chips with great salsa. None of those bagged chips from the restaurant supplier. The salsa had a great deal of cilantro and was chunky like my girlfriend prefers, had the "wateriness" and and freshness I prefer. (However, still on the "too mild" side for my tastes, as is everywhere.) The salsa is is right between Los Asados and Las Vegas in taste and consistency. The sweet tea was great. The beans weren't my favorite, as I prefer them a little more runny, but to be fair the last few times I have ate at my other favorites, they too were more lumpy. The rice was good, but I've had orgasmic rice back home. My chalupa was good, right on par with everywhere else. The taco meat was the best I've had in a great long while, maybe the best ever. The enchilada was awesome, right on par with Las Vegas and Los Asados as the best enchiladas ever! The panchos were sub-par, I think it was their average cheese and their lumpy beans that bumped it down. My girlfriend loved her flank steak fajita, and she adored her mole. I tried the mole, and it was delicious (although I lack much experience for comparison on mole). They also provided our favored type of floured tortilla, rich and caramelized. One of the great tortillas, in my book. (I don't remember the other places with tortillas as good.) I also polished off her taco as she was full and their tacos can't be beat in the valley. I will be sure to visit again, as I am having a tough time sorting between Platillo's, Las Vegas, and Los Asados as "best in town". If you like these other two, give Platillo's a try. It might even be cheaper! Once again Harlingen has showed me to not judge a book by its cover: So many restaurants in the valley have taught me to not consider every eatery with a down trodden or plain appearance to be in cahoots with Montezuma. I've always liked "hole-in-the-wall", but also stayed away from places with holes in the wall. Yet, some of the best food in town is also very cheap. Cheap food, excelling in quality, served with great staff means the establishment has to give somewhere, so they give on decor plain and dilapidated establishments. Bonus: I learned that the stars on local restaurants are from a local news critic. So, watch for stars!

    The service was amazing. It's a small restaurant so you better get here early. The food was pretty…read moregood. Will be coming back to Platillo's very soon.

    This is our second or third visit to Tejano Grill and we thoroughly enjoyed the food and service…read more We ordered a mixture of TexMex, BBQ, a chicken sandwich and seafood between the four of us. Everyone seemed to like what they ordered. My Two Meat BBQ Plate had brisket slices and some smoked turkey breast. The turkey was a little dry but had good flavor and there was a lot of it. The brisket was nice and moist but unfortunately two slices were sliced incorrectly WITH the grain instead of across the grain. This made them tougher than they should have been. Kind of a rookie mistake. But the flavor was good. The grandson's spicy fried flounder was very good. He loved it! The spicy Chicken sandwich was excellent and shared between two of our party. Overall the food was good and the service was very good. The place wasn't busy because it was midafternoon which was nice since it's usually packed on the weekends. We definitely will return when we travel to Harlingen to pick up visitors at the airport.
