Now the burger you see in the photos, let me tell you, it's one of the THE BEST burgers I've had in RGV.

Service was a little slower than I would have expected, but this could have been due to it being a Friday night and pretty crowded so I won't hold it against them.

Came here for date night and I had a good time. The menu is more selective then what is posted so…read morekeep that in mind. Mainly just had appetizers, wings, tacos and some fries/tots. We had the Baja tacos, street tacos, mozzarella sticks and loaded tots. Everything was really good. It was a little dead when we went but then again it was 8:30 on a Friday night so I'm sure it picks up later. Our waitress provided good service. What really stuck out to me was the staff genuinely seemed to enjoy working there. All of them were joking around, dancing and having a good time. My only complaint was the music was a little loud for me so it was tough to have a conversation. But then again it is a Friday night. Will be back

There is a private parking lot with plenty of room. They are open for breakfast and lunch, closing at 3:30 PM, and offer Mexican and Salvadoran food with some creative and innovative flair. Order and pay at the counter, and they'll bring your food to your table. Of course, they also have take-out. Their breakfasts are delicious and offer eggs, omelets, pancakes, French toast, molletes, Mexican traditional plates like chilaquiles, huevos ranchers, and la mexicana, machacado, and even American yuppie avocado toast, and more. Their lunches include several kinds of tacos ... my favorite is the Tacos Llorarás which is a fresh tortilla filled with birria and a jalapeño relleno (filled with cream cheese), tortas, pupusas, gorditas, enchiladas, flautas, caldo tlalpeño, the jaliciense inspired carne en su jugo, quesadillas, and a lot more. This time I ordered the chilaquiles with chicken and avocado in red salsa. The flavor was delicious. The chicken was shredded and hiding under the cheese. I enjoyed it very much, though I noticed the portion is not as generous as other places I've been. So I could have had room for dessert. For drinks they offer soft drinks, coffee, and some aguas frescas. The lemonade was mixed with cucumber and celery, so I got the agua de jamaica. They also offer a children's menu. I was glad to try their chilaquiles, but may go back to ordering the Tacos Llorarás, as they're hard to beat! My friend ordered the caldo tlalpeño and seemed to enjoy it. I'll be back.

The service was great from the time of entry. El Itacate requires you to order at the front desk and then take a seat. This was a new concept to me but everything was explained super well. Not to mention, even at the table, the service was even better. The waiters were constantly checking up on us. The food is delicious! The sour cream is a nice touch to the chilaquiles. The freshly squeezed orange juice and canela coffee are a must! The price, however, will rack up quickly if you don't ask the right questions. Make sure to read everything carefully. My partner was not given chicken on his mini retekete despite it being stated on the menu.

The ambience at night was even more warm and magical with live music and the intimate lighting. The paella is much bigger than it looks like in the picture, it was shared by 3 of us so it's the perfect family-style meal! It came in this beautiful shell-like plate. There was plenty of seafood inside and the rice was well seasoned. My friend who has visited Spain said this was very authentic. We also ordered a chocolate cake for my friend's birthday and they came out to us singing in celebration. It was a sweet gesture and made our night! Of course, the cake was decadent as well :) I will definitely have to come back.

GREAT LITTLE PLACE! Overall first impressions....it was a…read morelittle hard to find the front door. We parked in the back and walked through the back patio and were escorted by a very friendly server who knew the history of the building (impressed). She led us to the front door. Then we had to climb some very steep stairs. For the average individual it wasn't bad. But we had two seniors with us that found the steps challenging. Once inside we were greeted by the hostess and a very not so good odor (we almost walked out, it smelled musty and very old, our thoughts were the bathrooms. These need to be renovated badly). But once you get into the dining room there was no more smell. Tino was our server for the evening he did an amazing job. We ordered classic pasta (honestly it had good flavor but the sauce was very watery), the Duck (that was very good), and the Prime Rib (that was huge, that would be perfect for two people). We finished dinner and proceeded to go outside to the patio (mind you this is in January, when the weather is perfect for sitting el fresco) and had dessert. We ordered the Banana's Foster (Santana did an excellent performance, best part of the dessert) or Platanos Cajeta (huge difference) and the Flan. They were both good. This was a Saturday night and they had a duet playing acoustic guitar music (this helped top off the evening). We ended up spending a good amount of time here and enjoyed each other's company in a very nice atmosphere. Will definitely be revisiting.
