“Busy lunchtime Sunday - noonish. Only four waitresses that should have been plenty, but no bus boy. The four waitresses were doing everything- including greeting customers, waiting on tables, bussing tables, etc., and taking payment. They should be commended for great hospitality under pressure.
Chile relleno with chicken covered with too much white cheese. The dish was not that tasty - the ingredients didn’t seem so fresh. Maybe they were frozen or canned.
My husband had a big breakfast - 3 eggs, bacon, ham, frijoles - he enjoyed it a lot.
Food is pricey.
We won’t be back.“

I ordered chilaquiles and a picadillo with cheese taco on the side. When the food came out, WOW! The taco was huge! It was at least 12 inches long and nice and full. The chilaquiles and picadillo was so good. I highly recommend giving this place a shot for breakfast.“

“During a day trip to Harlingen we stopped in this little restaurant for breakfast. It doesn't have a very extensive menu, but the upside is a super friendly staff and great food! Seems to be a family business, very informal. We requested a business card which referred to the place as the Pastry House. And yes, they do have a case full of great-looking pastries... plenty of cupcakes and regular sized cakes. On Google Maps it shows up as the City Coffee Shop, which has only two reviews on TripAdvisor. TripAdvisor does not list Pastry House at all, so the name may have changed just recently. We encourage you to stop in, enjoy a meal, and grab a cupcake or two.“

“My son was never in daycare before so headstart was his first time away from me all day.I must say this was an absolute wonderful experience!My son and I LOVED this place so much, his teacher Mrs. Salinas was so very patient with him, and he learned so much from her. I loved the communication to help my son adjust to school routine and school behavior.I'm sad that he will not be here next year. It's hard to find a great teacher and teachers assistant, and it's sad when your child has to move on to the next grade.Thank you Mrs Salinas and ALL of Casa Grande for building my son's educational foundation. I surely won't forget any of you and thank you for making a huge difference in these kids lives. You all give your whole heart and all your love and it truly shows?My son will miss you and honestly so will I. ?“

We got nichos with cheese and steak as an apetizer. The. We got a torta and a hige chicken taco which name I cannot remember. We were also served charro beans in the beginning. Everything came out to forty something dollars. Everything taste good including the drinks. What I also like is that they close until 10pm and they only close Sundays. When ever I go pick up my sister and brother in lawn at the harlingen airport we go eat st Taqueria Jalisco.“
