I came here for lunch. To start with the chips were home made and hot and the dip was also home made and certainly very different from the regular store bought. I asked what was nopales so the waiter brought me some to sample. Delicious! I ordered Fuente which is breaded fish with shrimp in delicious sauce. I really could not have asked for a better meal. Service was very quick and the waitress was extremely helpful.

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..,,

We stopped in on a Wednesday night. Our waiter was friendly and went over the menu with us. Special for the night was 65 cent wings so we ordered 10 to start our dinner. They came to the table hot, crisp and tasty. I also ordered a patty melt which came with fries. It was a good sized burger and hand made, very tasty and was hot when served as were the fries. We will be going back again. Stop in and check them out they have specials almost every night of the week.

Great lunch specials (tacos, mole, carne, fish, rice) and menu options. Plenty of parking and seating with limited to no wait during lunch hour. Wait staff were friendly and the time from order to table was fast. The portions are huge. I think that all of us walked away with left overs. Food quality is really good. A definite must try.
