Haven't been to this location but really enjoyed the times we've been to the one in Brownsville. We…read moreordered 2 tortas, flautas and baked potato. We ordered without onion and cilantro and unfortunately they were made with everything on them. Had to go back and ask to be redone and when we got home we realized that one came without beans and the other had beans but my daughter doesn't like charro beans??? (Too spicy and has onion) Every place I've been to for tortas has just regular beans so not sure about that one. Anyways, we ended up getting a refund for them. Then the baked potato was way too over cooked. The spud was very tough and dry when it's supposed to be soft and fluffy. Then the flautas had no flavor and honestly tasted like they were prepped and fried before hand and then double fried to heat up. Not to mention there was nobody when we arrived to pick up the order so definitely not busy, just lack of quality. When all was said and done we didn't get the feeling that they would find a solution to their mistakes for the future and needless to say, we will not be returning.

Elva's Restaurant does have good food; however, my recent experience with service was…read moredisappointing. The owner's daughter who served us had a very unpleasant attitude. I requested regular cream packets for my coffee and was told none were available. When I went to pay my bill, I noticed a full box of the same cream packets behind the counter. When I politely questioned the inconsistency, the response was dismissive and unprofessional. As a customer, I expect honest communication and respectful service. If an item is available, it should be offered--or at the very least explained--without attitude. Good food alone doesn't make a great restaurant; customer service matters just as much.

First, you should know this is a put your name on the list if there aren't any open seats kind of place. It's a little small but I found it to be very cozy. Second, the food was absolutely delicious and you got BIG value for the cost. I had the Carne Guisada and Pazole, both of which were tasty and the servings were huge. The tortilla was bigger than my head and freshly cooked. My husband got the Huevos Divorciados and he just kept saying "this is exactly what I wanted!", my little ones got the standard breakfast and taquitos. Everyone was very happy with the meal and I am so pleased we decided to get a bit away from SPI/Port Isabel so we could discover this place! Highly recommend!

The prices for a taco seem pretty high, however the flour tortilla is about the size of a plate and it comes with 3 eggs. The corn tortilla tacos are cheaper. If you don't want to wait for the food to be cooked , they also own the Gas station on the corner and they have the flour tortilla taco ready. Tacos in my opinion are tour generic tacos nothing really special. The corn tortilla tasted like the ones that come in a bag I was expecting more of a home made flavor. I ordered the chorizo with egg and in my opinion was very greasy. The salsa is more like a pace salsa. Another taco that was ordered was the machacado with egg. As per my friend, it was good but not as filling since it was a small tortilla. Have to try the tacos again but now on flour tortilla.

This has to be the prettiest little restaurant in town!!! I've eaten here a number of times for…read morelunch and dinner and the food has usually been pretty good (like the chicken Monterrey and the jalapeno poppers) and they have cool regional dishes like nopales con camarones (cactus with shrimp). The staff is so friendly and the colorful decor always brings a smile to my face. This time, however, I decided to try their breakfast and was somewhat disappointed. I'm more of a milk and cereal type of gal, but the BF really likes to eat breakfast out so I always try to find great choices. The other places in town were super crowded and, seeking something a bit more peaceful, I suggested Piedad's. The restaurant WAS peaceful with only a few other patrons and the morning sunlight filtering through the curtains created a cheery ambiance (so many breakfast restaurants are just plain dreary). My eggs a la Mexicana were alright, but the beans were kind of bland. (I kept loading on the salsa just so they would have some taste). The hash-browns were sliced nice and thin, but were under-cooked and a bit mushy. The BF had the eggs and chorizo and it was pretty flavorless as well. He also had a bean and chorizo taco and it was about the same. BF said they must have used the brand of chorizo that doesn't have much flavor. Each of our meals came with a large flour tortilla and those were just fine. We both ordered orange juice and were served HUGE glasses, but the juice tasted like that thin, almost soury kind from the convenience store that I avoid. I'll be back to eat here again, but next time I'll pass on the breakfast and come for lunch or an early dinner.

Great spot for breakfast after a weekend on the Island.
