We found two other places to try first on Yelp but the first was an empty building ready for lease and the second was chained up. When we got here, that's where everybody was. It was busy but very quick service. Our server very quickly got us menus and took our order. The waters come with a slice of lime. The table comes with a salsa Rojo and verde. I ordered the chorizo and eggs which was came with a massive fresh flour tortilla, the meat and eggs combo was tasty and soft. I also ordered two crispy ground beef tacos and they were juicy and came with fresh lettuce and tomatoes. My dad ordered the pancakes and bacon, one of his pancakes was still raw. My friend ordered three enchiladas and enjoyed them. The side of refried beans looked pretty bland. The vibe was friendly. Overall I'd come back again, good food and service. read more

I ordered a caldo de res for my mom and she really liked it. When I got there to pickup the caldo it was ready at the time they told me, service is good and didn't have to wait for the caldo. The restaurant had a delightful ambiance. read more

Omgosh! Stopped on the way out of town to grab a quick taco and so glad we did. Small Taco is the size of a burrito in some parts of Texas so order accordingly. Excellent prices and delicious food, coupled with some top-notch very polite Christian service. Really enjoyed the tortillas that were freshly made just like Mama used to. read more

El Sabor De Mi Tierra - Two 'small' tacos. Huge and delicious - Mexican Near Me - San Benito, Texas

Driving by and saw a bunch of cars at 11:10. That's a good locals sign. Humble place with wonderful staff. The food was outstanding. The beans to me are a test. Theirs are off the hook to me. I had the crisp tacos rice and beans for lunch. Super fair prices and I'm stuffed. Fresh veg well seasoned beef. Highly recommend the green sauce if you like a little heat and lots of flavor. My experience here was fast friendly and I will be back for the FOOD!! Drinks always full. Just. Deserve more than the stars they have. Try it for down home Texas Tex mex. read more

Everytime I go back home to visit family, I have to stop at this place because of the great tortillas! Growing up with tortillas every morning at my grandmother's house has kind of made me a bit of a "Tortilla Snob"....according to my wife. haha! The caldo de res is great and pretty much anything else you eat here is going to be a solid tasty bet. If you're a GREAT coffee lover, you will not like what they've got here....trust me on this one! The service is always prompt and courteous...if you like a quiet place to eat, you might want to go later in the afternoon because the morning are very, very busy! read more

Sadly Me & family only eat there in mornings! Very good breakfast food & great service!

Great place food was great services was great. We were coming back from a car show and with trailer thankfully there was lots of parking space. Place was full but there is many tables and chairs so there was no waiting time on a Sunday morning. The table next to us had a birthday and the waiters came by to sign happy birthday to them which I thought was pretty nice. My husband ordered the chicharrón breakfast plate and he said it was really good the chicharrón was crispy. I ordered the chilaquiles which were also great. Kids had pancakes and to our surprise arrived in Mickey Mouse shape. Great place would come back for breakfast. read more

Came here for breakfast on the way to HRL Airport and didn't leave disappointed at all! Really fast service, food was fresh and still hot, and everyone was extremely nice who works here. I got the breakfast tacos Machacados, which were fantastic! Close to the airport if you're coming in or leaving, not far from the beaten path and really good food. I'll be back for sure! read more

El Sabor De Mi Tierra - Breakfast Machacados (Shredded Beef) Tacos. So good.... - Mexican Near Me - San Benito, Texas

One of my favorite places to eat at here in Harlingen! Service is always great and the food has always been very delicious. I've asked for certain plates to be prepared slightly different than they normally do and it was never a problem. In fact, they thanked me for the idea. It's a must try for anyone in the area that hasn't been there! read more

El Sabor De Mi Tierra - Was the lunch special which should be a carne guisada plate,charro beans & fideo. Asked for it to be prepared this way & they nailed it! - Mexican Near Me - San Benito, Texas

Found this place after finding out that lonnie's down home and koffee klatch both close at 2 pm on Sundays. Sadly, this place serves breakfast all day but didn't come up in my yelp search for breakfast in Harlingen! Anyway, it was the best breakfast I've ever had in the valley. Huevos con chorizo, bacon fatty refried beans, flour tortillas the size of a dinner plate. Throw in good coffee, fast service, and house made chips and delicious salsa, and I'll call it a full five stars. If I was still hungry I would have ordered banana pancakes, too. Deep South Texas vibe included. Don't miss this place. read more

Really great place. Although the service is slow. The taco was big and tasted just great! I recommend it if you love breakfast tacos, but not if your in a hurry. read more

El Sabor De Mi Tierra - Fajita combo - Mexican Near Me - San Benito, Texas

Food was ok, service is what's the main reason for the low rating. Waited over 30 mins for our order and then one of the orders was wrong so we had to wait even longer for them to correct. Would not return. read more

Good prices, service is pretty good, food is as I'd expect. Great Mexican restaurant for quick breakfast or lunch!

Stop by today for the 1st time during lunch off of a friends recommendation. The service is absolutely horrible. I sat down with my coworker. We waited 10 min and watched people sit down after us, get tended to. I finally got up and walked over go grab our own menus. I stopped a waitress and asked if we could please give our orders, which she replied I will send someone over. 5 minutes later no one showed up. We got fed up and left, from my assessment they were grossly under staffed. I never blame staffing issues on employees. That is a direct failure of management. I will never return here, if there was a lack of staff for whatever reason then the managers should have been out helping. Never again! read more

3 stars because the only thing I eat here is the camarón a la Diablo and so far they make it real well. Have had their breakfast a couple of times and it was ok read more

Nice hometown atmosphere. Enchilada plate to chicken fried steak above normal, tasty charro beans. Do not order fish fillets. Shrimp good. Really friendly staff. Easy in - out. Lots of parking read more

I have always loved this restaurant and it keeps getting better! The food was excellent! My waiter was THE BEST! My hats off to the cook (s), the taste was magnificent and well presented. A must go for everyone! Breakfast, lunch AND dinner! read more

First time here. Have passed it up many times on my way to the VA. Had breakfast with my wonderful wife of 33 years and we were impressed. The food was hot, well cooked and in good portions. The flour tortillas rivaled my wife's whose home made flour tortillas I consider the best. The food looked so good that I forgot to take a pic. Our waitress,Maritza, was friendly, outgoing and very attentive to our needs even tho it was a full house. Definitely a great place for breakfast! 5 Stars! read more

Food is ok not great just decent, place is friendly, lots of decorations, in a pinch probably will eat here like after church, but mainly as a last resort. read more

We like to eat here whenever we are in the area. The wait staff is always friendly. We like to mix the hot green salsa with the red salsa for our chips. Can't miss the building. It is bright orange. read more

POOR service. Waiter wasn't paying attention at all! Normally a good experience and good food but today they were off. He literally walked away in the middle Of me asking him what a specific plate was on their special list. Then came back and acted like nothing. hOrroble! read more

This place was not very busy and we waited for our food for 45min. Now I could understand if it was busy having to wait, but this was ridiculous. Not going to recommend this place. read more

Not bad but not great. Enchiladas were good but not great. The fajitas were soft and tender. The chips on the table were a little greasy. I found the breakfast to be much better and would really only go back if I wanted a giant taco for breakfast or breakfast plate and not really for lunch. read more

Mariachi was a nice touch but food was tasteless (over cooked eggs and unrecognizeable chorizo) and hubby's migas were in his words awful. Service was slow I never did get refill on my tea. read more

Food is horrible. I haven't been to the valley in over 10 years and ate here, was disappointed. Waiter was rude. Not recommending or going back. read more

Food is good but the wait is way too long ,I have to really think about it if I want to go for lunch brake. ALSO IF U SIT TOWARDS THE BACK u might end up waiting for a waiter a very long time read more

I love the Bannana pancakes, and would love to get my Hands on the Recipe for my everyday morning breakfast

We used to come to this place very often and it was very good, and had very good portions. Now as of today's service and quality, we will not be coming back. Food was very skimpy and tasteless. And to top it off, the service was not good either. Sorry. read more

My food was lukewarm like it had been sitting out, the chips were soggy and the avocado they gave me was brown. The staff was rude and acted like they didn't want to be there. Then the waitress made a face at me like she wanted to murder me because I didn't leave a tip. It was my first and only time I'll ever go there. read more

Every morning that I eat at this restaurant I have a different server. If I was to judge the best one, all I can say is that they all treat me with the best service and bring me my breakfast on a hot plate which I enjoy as food cools fast on a cold plate. The tacos are the best and if you want a good cup of coffee this place is the place to go. read more
