Thank you, Ivan and Norma, for your kindness and professionalism. It was greatly appreciated.

The restaurant's internet went down while we were there so we couldn't pay and leave. The girls working there kept trying to reboot the credit card machine but it didn't work.

They have a wonderful hot and fresh lunch selection. I had the fajitas. The inside looks like the inside of a nice Casita and the decor is very authentic.

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!

The second best part of the restaurant was the salsa. I was pleasantly surprised that it had some heat to it and a very tasty flavor. The chips were a bit hard so have good teeth.

Before the entrees came we got a complimentary broth in a cup and chips and salsa. The bill came out to $36 and we thought it was a great deal for the amount of food we got. The menu was all in Spanish and our waitress only spoke Spanish. That wasn't a problem for me, but if you don't speak/read Spanish then definitely bring a friend that does.

They started off with complimentary chips and two dips, a thin warm bean dip which was good and a light green one cold that, while we could not figure out what it was, was absolutely delicious.
