    Local, well-worn, "American" breakfast place, very popular with the winter Texans. The food wasn't anything fancy or exciting, but it was solid and they cooked the eggs as ordered.

    Cup of chili.. for 4 lol

    Biscuits and sausage gravy.

    Biscuits and sausage gravy were delicious. A small establishment but cozy. Everything was clean and waitress was very helpful.

    Felt like I was at home getting a meal made by my mom!!! We were only in town for a few days to pick up my son from the MMA and needed a solid breakfast before heading to the airport. We walked in, were pleasantly greeted by the servers, and seated right away. Our waitress (Blue) was the sweetest lady ever! She brought us water right away, took our food order and was just awesome to deal with. Our food came out super quick and was just what we needed! Tasted like it came out of my mom's kitchen. If we lived there I'm sure we'd be regulars!!

    When we drove up to the place, my Besti said, " Maryann, I dont know about this" but as soon as we got off the car, one of the staff members opened the door for us. It felt like valet parking. We came in and we were attended immediately. We ordered water and coffee. We waited about 5 minutes for our food. Fast service. I ordered the farmer #1 plate, my husband ordered the waffle breakfast plate and my Besti ordered the abc burger. The seasoned fries were amazing. The burger meat fit the bun. The coffee was so good. The waitress was courteous and attentive. Lots of Parking available! My Besti who is a Harlingen local said "I'm coming back again, this is a hidden gem." My husband and I are from San Antonio, TX and out of all the places we ate this weekend, this one was the best. My husband gives this place a 4 of 5. My Besti gives this place a 5 of 5. Everyone come!

    Breakfast & customer service was great.

    I never thought I would ever be typing these words, but it's the end of an era--hopefully not…read morepermanent. I've been eating here since 1970 when menu was written daily on a small blackboard on the wall and plate lunches were $1.25, drink included. I left the area in '84 but have returned frequently ever since. Las Vegas is always my first stop, and last night was no different, meeting up with ten family members for dinner. Our server, Elizabeth, was superb. When I saw the menu, I was concerned. It was six or eight pages, with dishes I never expected to see here. But I understand why, even though my first thought was, "I hope they haven't messed with the traditional dishes." I've always maintained the cheese enchiladas here are among the three or four finest in the world, if not THE finest. That's what I always order. I also ordered panchos and guacamole. My wife ordered beef enchiladas. The guacamole was very good. The nice thing about LVC is they don't use much (if any) cilantro. This stuff ruins guacamole. Their homemade chips are beyond incredible and so is the salsa. The panchos were terrible. Way too much cheese. Ratios are important. The refried beans and rice were very dry. And finally, the cheese enchiladas. They were not good. There was very little gravy (this is what makes them so good) at all, and the gravy wasn't right. They have changed the recipe. There was also way too much cheese on top. Ratios are important. The medium (soft, medium or crispy taco shell) ground beef taco was perfect. My wife said her enchiladas were also disappointingly dry with bland gravy. I ate the taco and about half the rice, beans and enchiladas. I paid what might be my final tab here, and picked up everyone else's check. 56 years ago, I paid less than two bucks out the door. Last night's tab was over $250 with tip. Times have changed. Unfortunately, so has their food. The women's restroom was repulsive. I won't go into detail about the trash can.

    I ordered this on Door Dash, so one never knows how fresh it's going to be when it arrives…read more Fortunately, it seemed to show up at my hotel room door about as fresh as if I were at the restaurant. I ordered a plate that had a cheese enchilada, rice, beans, guac, a beef fajita taco and I got a carne guisada taco on the side just to try it out. I also got chips & queso because I wanted to try that, too. I think I'm too used to crappy fast food Mexican food like Taco Cabana, because I was expecting everything to be on the smallish side. I was dead wrong. The tacos are large and the carne guisada one was stuffed to overflowing. Two people could easily split the dinner, and the extra stuff was just wasteful on my part. I ate a fraction of what came. As far as the food goes, the rice is seriously good and so are the beans. That's typically where most restaurants just throw some filler on the plate and call it a day. The guacamole was good, too. The homemade chips are also delicious. I did enjoy the queso, but wouldn't put it too far above average restaurant faire. The fajitas were very good as was the carne guisada, although I thought the beef chunks were extremely large. I didn't care for the enchilada sauce, so I ended up not eating those. But, that's just personal preference, so take it with a grain of salt. Overall, I thought it was good food at a good price and I'll probably order it again when I come back through Harlingen.
