Things to do in La Feria
10. Taco Palenque
Reviewed By Jeffrey L W
Granted, I have not tried every taco establishment in South Texas (is that even possible?) but I can always count on Palenque. I have not had a bad item on their menu, and their condiments bar makes it easy to personalize to oneâs taste. Whether in Harlingen or in the other locations, you can count on consistent excellent food!

Needed an easy lunch so we wouldn't have to get out of the car. Had the crispy tacos supreme. Delicious! A great gal at the service window. This was a great choice for us at the time
8. Alice Cafe
Reviewed By stunna54
Quaint little cafe in the downtown area, parking on the street or in back. Cash only, definite hole in the wall but the portions are huge, prices are cheap and the food is very good...Had the Taco Pirata and it was a monster 8 bucks and could easily be cut into two, taken to go and eaten later.

Planned to eat across the border in Progreso but everything shuts down around 7p. We drove by Nana's on the way to the border and noticed all the cars and festive atmosphere. Decided to take a chance and and I'm so glad we did. There's a large patio area and Friday night a duo was playing great upbeat tunes. We decided not to wait for an outdoor table and were promptly seated inside. Our table enjoyed the guacamole appetizer which was so fresh. For our meal we had the Progreso original beef tacos and the vegetarian tacos both were super tasty! You do not received the same old bowl and chips and salsa when seated, instead you are treated to individual cups of charro beans and several delicious sauces. The prices are very good and the quality of the food is outstanding.
6. El Fenix Cafe
Reviewed By qualityfoodWinnipeg
This restaurant is one of the oldest in Mercedes Texas having been in the De La O family circa 1960. The current owner "Dalia" delights all with her traditional homemade Mexican and American food. Service is friendly in both English and Spanish. Dalia and her crew have also provided catering service for the local winter retirement parks

Multiple people told me this is the best Mexican restaurant in Harlingen. I did note tht no one said it was Tex Mex, Not sure if that is politically sensitive this close to Mexico, but I found out there is at least one more reason. The waitress told me they are known for the fajitas and fried avocado, so I ordered both, The chips, salsa, avocado and fajitas were delivered all within 30 seconds of each other. Bad mojo. I was shocked that the salsa was a smooth sauce, not chunks of veggies. It was severely hot for my taste. I did not finish it. The fried avocado was an avocado with some. tasteless chicken breaded and fried served with a packet of Newman's Ranch dressing, finely cut lettuce and pico, or rather, tomatoes with a rare cilantro leaf and maybe onion. The lettuce and tomatoes were tasty, but otherwise a waste of calories, dollars and time. The chips were boring and undersalted. If they could buy Newmans salad dressing, why not buy tasty chips?The fajitas were mildly tasty but hard to eat. About a third of them were cut parallel to the grain, making them very hard to bite, They were severely under-marinaded. The onions and peppers were good, the real saving grace of the dish. There were two tiny corn tortillas, and only after i had eaten all of the fajitas did I discover one stale wheat tortilla.Coming from the Houston area I found the fajitas to be severely lacking in flavor and quality, If this is the best in Harlingen, I may just wait till I get back to Houston, Sugar Land or The Woodlands.Small point, but I think there is a distinct difference between Tex-Mex and Mexican. My experience is that fajitas should be purchased in a Tex Mex restaurant and other dishes in a Mexican restaurant. Just saying..,,

I was a first timer on a rainy morning in Harlingen when I stumbled into the las vegas around 6:30 am, by then the parking lot was crowded but not so crowded that you had to park your van, truck or car on the street and block the view of oncoming one way Harrison street traffic for those in the parking area , not quite that busy, maybe later in the day it might be. . Unfamiliar with the restaurant I waited to be seated but was told to sit anywhere , which should have signaled I wasn't a local. I sat in a two seat table. Looking at the wall there are placards listing Lunch and breakfast items. I was asked almost as soon as I was seated what I wanted to order (no menu was offered) so I figured " OK, it's a menu limited to what's on the board next to my head , So craning my head to eyeball the placard I ordered , Coffee, water and the Frenchie special (french toast ). But as I was waiting for the food to arrive EVERYone who was coming in and being seated after me was ordering the breakfast special." I'll have the special" was ringing out everywhere. (2egg, meat , toast , HB or beans and coffee for one price) rather than coffee extra as in my case.). So what I would suggest is if this is your first time at the restaurant , ask for a menu , so you have the option of not ordering just what's presented on the board. Otherwise the coffee was medium strength, not really hot , the breakfast was OK , nothing terrific stood out. Service was fine. But it is a "regular's place" I didn't see anyone presented a menu, they all knew what they wanted(the special) and probably order the same thing every time as the wait staff pretty much knew everyone's order. Or just order the special and pretend you live in Harlingen.

If you know what Chili's food is... Then that is what you'll get.Allthough I remember that salads were huge, this time lettuce must be very expensive, cause they certainly cutted the amount served.Lots of new dishes (at least for me, different menu) same quality!.Service: we had great service at the beggining, but at the end, they just don't pick up the empty dishes, and they bring coffee and dessert to a messy table. Disgusting.
2. Los Amigos Restaurant
Reviewed By Philip_Wilson
I have owned rental property in La Feria since 2007 and have eaten many times at Los Amigos. While I have never had any complaints about the food, the service just seems to be consistently bad. A few years ago, when the restaurant was in the old location by the laundromat, I tried eating breakfast there while my clothes were in the washer. The servers never came to my table to ask what I wanted. Fred Gomez, the owner, gave me a card for a free breakfast, which i had to use later because my clothes were ready to go.Earlier this month, I redeemed the card for the free breakfast. Like I said, no complaints about the food. At lunchtime today, I ordered a burrito plate with fries. It was $6.48 with tax. The server just brought the plate to my table with the bill. She never asked if the food was OK.I had an appointment in La Feria later in the day, so I sat at the table for a while after I finished lunch, reading a book and watching the game show that was on the TV. The server never asked if I wanted coffee, dessert, or anything else. The bill on the table seemed to be her way of telling me that we were finished and it was time for me to leave.I've worked as a server. If a customer is sitting at a table, I ask if they want anything, whether they just came in or have already eaten. It makes the customer feel welcome and it increases sales. I got the impression that the server just wanted me to eat my burritos and leave. I buy in La Feria because I want to support local business, but if I consistently get poor service, I'll eat somewhere else.
1. Don Beto's Restaurant
Reviewed By jonathonkosec
We visit some friends in the Valley from time to time and we always love to come to Don Beto's in La Feria (there are a couple by the same name I believe). Here you'll find an efficient wait staff, great and hot breakfast items- can't get past the breakfast tacos. Wow are they good. I guess the variety and the speed with which the breakfast is delivered helps make the time you spend with friends work out. A great breakfast and then off to other places. Always busy, but we've never had to wait. Impressive!
