This is a great place to eat at and it is inexpensive. The owners are very attentive. Don’t get turned off by the appearance. The botana is a family favorite as well their limeade.
The food looks good, and I wish I could have tried it. We came into town late from Dallas and wanted to give them a try, but my family of 5 and I were turned away because we arrived at 8:30 p.m., and they said they were closed. When I told them their hours show from 9 a.m. to 9 p.m., she said they stop taking orders at 8:30 p.m. If that is the case, then you should state that closing hours are at 8:30 p.m. I will not be going back!
This botana for two can feed a family of 6 it is alot of food and it is really good.
The foods so good and service was good too. The amount of food just WOW! More than enough! I fed my family of 8 and still had leftovers can’t beat the price either.
10/10!!! Highly recommend!! Super delicious from the sweet tea, to the chips & salsa, to all the other food we got everything was delicious, flavorful, and very fresh. The owner & the waitress were very nice & friendly. Very large portions for a good price. Best Mexican food we have had in Edinburg and maybe even the whole valley.
The breakfast here is very delicious and filling, the portions are very generous I ordered the Huevos Rancheros, and for $8.99 you get 3 eggs, refried beans, potatoes, fried tortillas and bacon. The eggs were perfectly cooked over medium, the salsa for the eggs was excellent and very flavorful, the fried corn tortillas under the eggs were very good, the bacon was tasty and crispy, the potatoes were made fresh but very bland with no seasoning added, the refried beans were very tasty. The tortillas both corn and flour were just okay. The reason I give this restaurant only 3 ⭐ is due to the appearance of the business, it looks very deteriorated inside making it a place I couldn't easily invite someone here for breakfast, it just looks too dark and unwelcoming by its looks, but overall the food is delicious.
This is a hidden gem. The portions are generous! Look at the size of the drink glass & platter. We raved about the warm tasty salsa & chips. We ordered queso dip & we weren't disappointed. Their queso just made it to the top of my list. The fish&shrimp remained hot for a long time. They offer all the usual drinks including Joya sodas (@ $3.00 ea.). The Marisacada for one (21.00) fed three of us & we had leftovers. The place is small but cozy. They had so many take out orders.
When someone tells you their plates are huge BELIEVE THEM. I've taken so many people to eat here and I tell them to only order one thing and they never listen. This is by far one of my favorite places to eat in the RGV. The service is great. Marlen is always super attentive and quick. She's kind and fun as well so it's always a good experience. She always remembers me and my family (both immediate and extended) which makes me feel right at home! Food is always hot, fresh and delicious. The meat is great quality and the prices are really good. I uploaded pictures of the barillas burger and carne guisada plate. Both super delicious and I had enough left over for a whole other meal. 2 can eat one plate(but I'm not sharing!)
