    Good food but man, I asked for half rice and half beans innstead of all beans and it was 3.50. For this scoop, I was charged an extra 3.50. I don't think they want me in there. Thanks for the past meals

    Authentic Mexican food has many variations! Had to drop a car this morning 8 am, at a body shop on E.46 St. which put us in the vicinity of Momma Lencha's Great time for breakfast! Wanting Huevos Rancheros, which is not on their menu. I Asked Mama Lencha if she could make them. She said that was not a traditional meal in the Mexican state where she is from. She didn't know the recipe; however, her cook was from a different area in Mexico and knows. Her cook came out and described her huevos rancheros. That will work! Two orders please. The huevos rancheros were different from those that I have had in other Mexican restaurants. The uniqueness is in the preparation. The cook explained. First a large skillet with oil is heated. The corn tortillas are placed in the oil, then an egg is cracked and dropped on the frying tortilla. The egg and the tortilla cook at the same time. The end result; a fresh runny yoke, fried egg on a crispy tortilla. Then both eggs and tortillas are covered with a spicy, fresh tomato-based sauce with onion and pepper (ranchero sauce). Cheese on top of that; beans and rice on the side. That is Authentic Mexican ranch-style eggs! Friendly welcoming service. Delicious food! We were leaving the restaurant about 9:30; service trucks were pulling into the parking lot. The restaurant was filling with workers, breaking for a for a traditional mid-morning meal.

    The breakfast burritos are delicious! Best ones in town by a mile! Extremely authentic to ones that I've had when I lived south of Houston

    I placed a delivery order and was blown away by how good everything was. I tried two half…read moresandwiches and two cookies, and each item impressed me. Both sandwiches came with homemade potato chips, a mix of regular and sweet potato and they were absolutely delicious. The Dutch Crunch Sandwich was packed with turkey, bacon, swiss, tomato, arugula, and avocado mayo on dutch crunch bread. They don't skimp on toppings at all, there was plenty of turkey and bacon, and every bite was flavorful. Dalton's Double Deuce was another standout. Ham, egg salad, olive tapenade, and arugula on a fresh Italian roll. It felt like a grown up version of an egg salad sandwich. The olive tapenade adds a great punch of flavor, though it leans a little salty. And the cookies... unbelievably good. Truly some of the best cookies I've had. The Brown Sugar Cookie has a gooey center and deep caramel flavor, and the Oatmeal Cookie without no raisins, surprised me, I didn't miss the raisins at all. It tastes like it has a light honey glaze to me, and it's phenomenal. Trenchers is definitely a new favorite.

I ordered the full size, and it was huge. I ended up splitting it into two meals. My only complaint was the house-made chips. They seemed like they had been fried ahead of time because by the time I got them, they were soggy, which was a bit disappointing. I paired everything with a root beer, and overall it was a fantastic meal. Aside from the chips, I really enjoyed it and would definitely come back.

My wife had a salad and egg salad sandwich, her sister had a Caesar salad and both said that they enjoyed their choice.I had a French dip sandwich, as recommended by our server who was friendly and made good recommendations, also keeping the refills on coffee coming regularly, which is appreciated. The French dip was very good, but the bread/baguette, was incredibly good! Really special! I really liked the coffee as well, apparently a local supplier,, although I forgot the name.

Turns out that the night before we ate at McNellie's, which is a part of the restaurant chain that owns the diner. Our server at McNellie's was terrific and they knew her. We were seated promptly with a nice view of the door. We started our breakfast with coffee, which was strong and very good. I decided to pack on the carbos with a short stack of pancakes topped with caramel sauce, bananas, and walnuts. Wow, they call this a short stack! I am quite certain I could never eat a tall stack! My wife ordered the breakfast tacos, which looked quite small compared to my pancakes, but she loved the flavor--a nice mix of scrambled eggs, avocado, and cajito cheese! More coffee! We rolled out of the place very satisfied and pleased with the service, ambience, and food! We highly recommend the Dilly diner!

As the sandwiches are listed on the menu, you're asked (at the register) if you'd like whatever fixings that go with the sandwich. I got the Turkey and Cheese with lettuce & pickles, I added jalapeños & jalapeño sauce. I liked the creamy Italian sauce too. The sandwich was stacked. Plenty of turkey, plenty of lettuce, plenty of pickles and jalapeños. The sauce was there and wasn't an overload, just the right amount. The sandwiches come in small or large & I'm glad I got the small. The combos come with chips and a drink, they have one of my favorite chip brands, Miss Vickie's (Spicy Dill Pickle is an automatic pick for me). I wish I got the name of the dude who took my order. He was super cool, laid back & nice. He asked me if it was my first time in & I said yes (I always ordered pickup) and got to choose between the 3 cookie options they had for free. Their oatmeal raisin cookie doesn't taste like your average, see for yourself. *Side Note: Did Bill & Ruth's specialize in mainly cold sandwiches? The reason why I ask is because I never remembered being offered between wanting my sandwich cold or hot.*

    This sandwich was great, it was prepared quickly, staff were attentive and friendly. When they…read moreheard it was my first time in they gave me a free cookie. They also have a drive through! I'm glad I went here rather than a big chain and I will definitely be back!
