I was told that the restaurant gets packed on the evenings and weekends. The staff was very friendly and I appreciated both the Spanish and English they spoke to me in! I ordered the Lonche lunch special (8/10). I had never had Lonches before and it was a nice little treat. The ground beef was placed in small bread and they provided some accompaniments to dress the lonches to your liking. I really enjoyed them and hope to come back and try out more entrees in the future! Go check them out, you won't be disappointed!

However, the food is overpriced and the service we received was dismissive. There were a lot of flies inside, and we found a fly in our margarita after a couple of sips. When we brought this up to the server, no apologizes were made and it was brushed over. We were told they replaced it with a new one, but the glass we received after was the exact same level it had been previously, which we were told was due to restaurant policy. Important to note, the "full" glass we were given not even a full glass. We returned the drink due to not feeling confident in the change. Would not recommend this place, and would recommend driving out to some of the other further restaurants in the area!

El Itacate is one of my favorite places in the RGV for Mexican and Salvadoran food. There are…read moremultiple locations. This one is in a small shopping center next to Sam's Club on the NW corner of 10th and Trenton. The facilities are still relatively new, everything looks clean. They have a nice dining room but also offer take-out. They are only open for breakfast and lunch, closing at 3:30 PM. Their menu has a good variety of breakfasts, from chilaquiles, omelets, classics like huevos rancheros, huevos divorciados, huevos a la mexicana, norteño breakfast of machacado (dried beef) and eggs, molletes, pancakes, and more. Their lunch offerings include a variety of salvadoran pupusas, caldo Tlalpeño, the jaliciense carne en su jugo; skillets of chicharrón pensado en salsa, frijoles con "veneno" (chorizo), melted cheese; various tacos from flautas, tacos and la plancha, tacos Llorarás (jalapeño relleno and birria), gorditas, enchiladas, and more. They also have a children's menu. They often have promotional specialty items like tortas de chilaquiles or tortas ahogadas which I have yet to try because I keep ordering the incredible tacos Llorarás. The service has always been exceptional whenever I have gone. Their staff is friendly and efficient. Place your order at the counter and pay up front (there is a jar for tips), and they bring your food to your table. Their drinks range from bottled soda (no soda fountain) to aguas frescas: Jamaica or a refreshing limonada with cucumber. The dining room has half booths (padded bench along one wall, chairs on the other side of the table, or standard tables and chairs. This makes it easy to accommodate wheelchairs if needed. Prices are a bit higher than a burger fast food place, but less than a chain sit-down restaurant. For the food quality you get it's a great price. They have plenty of parking, and restrooms (his and hers) are clean and well maintained. My only complaint is I wish they could extend their hours and offer dinner as well!

Guadalajara Express is a pleasant surprise and something unique in Mexican cuisine…read more As there is limited signage, and the establishment is small (cozy), it is easy to miss if you're not alert. It's located just west of Raul Longoria in a strip mall, on the south side of Nolana Loop, next to Magnolia Events. To get into the parking you need to approach it from the west (as if you're coming from the expressway I-69-C), because dividers in the road do not allow a left turn if you're coming from the east. But it is well worth the visit! Guadalajara Express specializes in regional Mexican food from the Guadalajara, Jalisco area. I spent my teen years living in Guadalajara so when I heard about them it got my attention! I love the regional cuisine from Guadalajara and there are several things on their menu you cannot find anywhere else in the Valley. Yet I have often been sorely disappointed with Mexican restaurants as most here "americanize" their food. I am thrilled to say that my worries were needless. Guadalajara Express has authentic regional jaliciense food and do it well. I have been twice. The first time I ordered the "carne en su jugo" and the second time I had the torta ahogada. Both were wonderful! I was especially impressed since I knew it takes a special kind of birote (bread) to make the torta ahogada; the usual "bolillo" does not work. The birote is denser so it won't fall apart when they cover it with salsa. The owners / operators are from Guadalajara (once I tasted their food I could have guessed that). They found a bakery that special bakes the birote for their torta ahogadas. The torta ahogada has a dense, toasted birote, filled with carnitas, then covered with a sauce. Back in the 1970's they used to dunk the torta into the salsa, but nowadays it is ladled on. They ladle on a mild salsa, but provide a cruse filled with super hot salsa made with chile de arbol, use with caution, but it IS authentic! The ambience and decor is beautiful, lots of traditional Mexican "artesanias" many made in Tlaquepaque or Tonala, from the Guadalajara metropolitan area. It is a little cluttered, but pleasant. Both times I went it was very clean, service was exceptional, the food was heavenly. Prices seem a tad high, but considering you won't find their specialty offerings anywhere else, I thought it reasonable. I really enjoyed it and think you will too.

Found this spot on Yelp and caught my eye as soon as i saw it had carne en su jugo on their menu…read more Carne en su jugo (meat in its juice). Thin strips of meat in a flavorful broth with frijoles de la olla, bacon pieces, onion and cilantro. So good! This dish originates from Guadalajara, Jalisco. The broth is not easy to make, thats probably the reason most places dont offer this dish. Anyway, meat was cooked good. Broth was flavorful and not salty from the bacon. It all came together. They give you three tiny quesadillas with your meal. Perfect addition. Overall, it was delicious. Will return.
