    Very friendly service, fresh food, and plenty of space for a large family. There is a great selection of food too.

    Food is okay but service is a fail; when coming here be sure it is not close to closing time as…read moreattendants will let you know that they close at midnight sharp on the dot; once I was refused service at 1145PM and a week later when showing up at 1130PM I was reminded about the curfew; this last time I even joked with waiter that if not done eating by midnight he was to kick me out halfway through my platter? The last time I went and definitely the last, when using the salt shaker the top came loose and all the contents spilled over my food; needless to say, I couldn't eat my food and when I informed the waitress about this she casually made a dull remark and walked away, I was of course not offered a replacement or discount. I am not sure how much informed or dis informed the owners of this place are about the lackluster and mediocre service provided but in my honest opinion if I had a place like this two blocks from the largest most popular pancake chain in the country I would hustle and provide the best ever service and take the last client till after closing; but then again that would be in an ideal world not here in the RGV. My decision not to have returned to this place for the third time would have been easier if I had seen a guest earlier (see picture) Enough time wasted and I bid you good eating (somewhere else).

    Our food was given to us on time and the bacon burger i got was delicious. The lady was super nice…read more I had a good experience here. I would definitely come back, but not to eat chocolate chip pancakes, it was too sweet. We were thanked and greeted.

    7/10 Flautas de papa 9/10 avocado chilaquiles…read more 7/10 chorizo chilaquiles 5/10 beans A coworker who works in the area recommended this place. I'm a huge migas fan and never thought to try chilaquiles. This place did not disappoint. I added eggs, chorizo and avocado with half green and half red sauce. I was surprised to get each adding in an individual stack. I managed to get my egg yolk over the avocado and chorizo. The food was really good, just not what I expected. The flautas de papa were a great buy. Instead of using a corn or flour tortilla to mop up my plate, I was able to use the flauta and with the papa in it, they were like little sponges soaking up all the leftovers

My favorite is the Tacos Llorarás (you will cry taco) which features a handmade corn tortillas stuffed with a chile relleno made of jalapeño and cream cheese, plus a flavorful beef birria. Add your garnish and salsa of choice, and if the heat of the chile doesn't make you cry, you will eventually cry if you cannot return soon. It's that good! Drinks are either Jamaica (aguas frescas style). This location is right across the road from the Sam's Club on South Jackson Road. There is additional parking in the back. Family friendly.

    Had breakfast here today and I tried the biscuit and gravy omelette with a side of mini stack…read morepancakes and a bowl of fruit. The omelette was very good and the service was great our server kept checking up on us. My omelette was just the right amount and was a warm egg blanket surrounding the biscuits and gray inside along with some other ingredients and cheese I definitely would eat this again.

    We were looking for a breakfast place we hadn't eaten at while we were in town and came here…read more Our server was very friendly. The menu had some great and different choices in addition to the regular breakfast fare. I opted for the Western Omelette and added jalapeños and cilantro and had hash browns and bacon as sides. The omelette was prepared well - the only suggestion would be to put the cheddar inside the omelette or have it melted on top; otherwise it was very good. The bacon was thick and prepared perfectly (for me) - not brittle! The hash browns had a good flavor and were brown and slightly crunchy on the outside and soft inside. My wife had the Cinnamon Crunch French Toast with eggs over easy and bacon. The eggs were prepared properly; the French toast (she added blueberries) was very good - good cinnamon flavor and cooked just right. Pleasantly surprised by this place - since it's a 'regional franchise' we were somewhat skeptical but they managed to overcome being a franchise with quality food. The restaurant itself is very open in its design, which did lend to it being very noisy which was a 'down' side for it. We would come back.

    I had just arrived in town and I was hungry. Thankfully, a family member had this diner on their…read moremust-try list, and it went pretty well. We all ordered something different with the goal of being able to taste more of the menu. The menu is a well-rounded Southern American selection, and all of it is made in-house. It was a nice touch with the newspaper like menu, loved the decor and cabin home theme. The side salad was fresh; however, the house-made ranch was too creamy and too thick. There was potential with the cooked bacon mixed in, but the ranch flavor was missing. The cup of chili was great, similar to Wendy's chili if you needed a comparison. My meatloaf was good; the added carrots and topped crispy onions weren't too bad; however, the drizzled brown gravy was a no for me. The side of creamy grits and green beans and bacon were gobbled up! The cornbread muffins were a bit dry. Side of hash browns were good, a little on the oily side. The biscuit and gravy were colossal! Loved the gravy; the biscuits were a bit too doughy, almost seemed a bit undercooked, and for some reason, there seemed to be a lack of flavor in them. Enjoyed the ham and eggs. The pot roast dish was savory, and everything was nice; the veggies were a little over-seasoned, but I didn't mind them. The chicken-fried steak plate was a hit, I didn't even get a chance to take a solo photo. We had no room for desserts, and leftovers were taken home and appreciated. I'd like to add, despite ordering the larger versions of these meals, we only paid $68 and some change! The place was clean, the wait time was commendable, and the service was incredible!!! Despite the small misses, we'd still return. The majority of our food was great, and we left fuller than ever!
