Edith's Mexican Buffet is located on N. Cage Blvd. in Pharr, Texas, along the I-69C access road…read more You'll find it on the west side just south of Nolana, between the Red Roof Inn and Volvo Trucks. Open daily from 8:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m., Edith's offers a reasonably priced, home-style Mexican breakfast and lunch buffet. The restaurant also has locations in downtown Edinburg and in Mission, which reflects strong support and confidence from local customers. This was my first visit to Edith's. The exterior of the building appears recently updated, though parking can be limited during peak hours. Be aware that parking on the hotel side of the divider will result in towing. While signs are posted on the restaurant door, an additional sign on the divider itself would be helpful. Street parking is not available. I remember when this space housed a pancake-house-style diner, and much of the same furniture is still in use. Some booth upholstery shows wear and a few small tears, though the seating remains comfortable. The breakfast buffet features a wide variety of traditional Mexican favorites: several styles of scrambled eggs, beans with or without chorizo, fried potatoes prepared plain, with chorizo, or a la mexicana, chilaquiles, hash browns, huevos rancheros, cheese in salsa, menudo, oatmeal, fresh fruit, and more. Our server, Soraya, was especially friendly and took our drink order as well as requests for eggs cooked to order. Pancakes and waffles are also available upon request. My eggs arrived promptly and were cooked perfectly over medium. The iced tea is offered sweetened or unsweetened. Although I was told the sweet tea was freshly brewed, it did not taste fresh to me and had a hint of lime. Soraya kindly replaced it with unsweetened tea at no extra charge, which was clearly fresh brewed and excellent. Corn tortillas are warmed, while the flour tortillas are freshly made--definitely the better choice in my opinion. Overall, the food was very good. The guisos, potatoes, bacon, beans, and chilaquiles all had solid flavor without being greasy. The chilaquiles were slightly dry on their own, but adding queso in salsa verde made them just right. Some bacon pieces were less crispy than I prefer, though it was easy to select the more well-done pieces. I enjoyed my breakfast and would gladly return. I noticed that some reviewers complained about Christian music playing in the background, but during my visit the music remained subtle and did not interfere with conversation. Personally, I enjoyed it. I look forward to returning to try the lunch buffet, especially the chile rellenos--one of my favorites--along with the many other guisos they offer.

We had to get up to get her to come get refills and when she did she did it with SUCH an attitude, as if I chose her job for her. and same thing continued throughout the time we ate so we tried not to even ask for much to not "bother" her. I understand we may all have some bad days and we may not all know how to separate our personal from our professional job, but you actively chose to work at this job and yet have an attitude towards the reason companies even make your paychecks come alive, the people! People will tip more and may actively want you to serve them and come around more if you change that bad attitude. you attract more bees with honey than poop.

It's a buffet style breakfast, and they bring you fresh flour tortillas, corn tortillas or a combo of both to the table to enjoy with the spread option of your choosing. Place is clean and unlike most chain buffets, this place was clean and the food was covered with enough opening where the food isn't exposed to all conditions. Personally enjoyed this establishment as it allowed me to try a variety of different breakfast options without having to settle on just one plate.

This was not worth the money or the time. I hope management steps up and makes serious improvements. I won't be returning unless I hear things have changed.

The Shrimp Boil, fried oysters, and Oysters Rockefeller were good but could use a bit more attention to seasoning. The oysters Rockefeller did try to get a smoke flavor but fell short on the size of the oysters. Fried shrimp and chicken were on the dry side. I also tried the ribeye. The ribeye 1/2" cut (?) was a bit on the chewy side and a little dry. Seafood gumbo did not impress me much. Visually, I could see it needed spices. I added some of the seafood boil sauce and it tasted better Corn on the Cobb was GREAT, so was the boiled crab legs were also GREAT! Lots of patrons on Sunday. I think this place has a lot of potential and if they work on a unique seasoning, they will be a great place to dine! The service was good.

There didn't seem to be any communication or urgency from the staff about the delay. When my food finally arrived, my bacon and egg taco was barely filled. For the price you're paying, you would expect a decent portion instead of feeling like ingredients were being rationed. On top of that, they were charging customers $1 for a cup of water, which honestly feels ridiculous considering water is a basic human necessity. Not to mention, their orange juice was 5$, NO REFILLS. Overall, the poor service, long wait time, small portions, and unnecessary extra charges made for a frustrating experience. Unfortunately, I won't be returning, and I wouldn't recommend this place unless they seriously improve their customer service and value.
