    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 should've turned around the moment I saw the dust and mold, but unfortunately, I stayed and…read moreregretted it immediately. This place is filthy. The AC vents are caked in dust like they've never been cleaned, and there's what looks like black mold throughout the building. If this is what's visible to customers, I can only imagine what's happening behind the scenes in the kitchen. Then came the service, which somehow managed to be even worse. The girl taking my order was unbelievably rude from the start. I ordered exactly what's written on their menu--a parrillada--and she acted like I was out of my mind. Instead of just ringing up what I asked for, she kept pushing a botana, which is something completely different, looking irritated the entire time. To make it even more ridiculous, I asked for chips because apparently an $8.99 order of guacamole does not come with tortilla chips and was told it'd be $4.50 if I wanted some. You've got to be joking... Between the dirty environment, the attitude, and the absurd upcharges, this restaurant is a hard never again. Save your money and your appetite bc there are way better places that actually care about their customers and their cleanliness. I'd go across the street to La Playa. Great customer service and food over there.

    Definitely a must try Tex Mex fave in Harlingen. Food is always good. Service is always as…read moreattentive as possible. Friendly staff. The ambiance is family style large gathering with of course smaller tables & can sometimes be really loud; depending upon when you visit (late night weekends). Prices are fair and lower than some other restaurants. No alcohol as it is a family environment No WiFi but they accept ApplePay. Always ask first in the RGV lol.

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.
