41 Best Mexican Restaurants in Harlingen

“Great service 😇 Great food 🌮 Quiet area“

“This is probably my new Mexican breakfast place. The service has been terrific every time I've been here. The serving size leaves me with plenty to take home for dinner. The coffee is a little stronger than I usually drink, but an extra cream smooths the taste. Today, patrons received a small cup of hot delirious Arroz con Leche (Rice Pudding). I could have eaten a bowl of it. 😋 Yummy!
I'm usually have my order customized. Today, I ordered Migas Locas (Chorizo Migas) and asked them to make them A la Mejican with no onions or cheese. Of course, one of their extra large homemade flour tortillas. Topped with green chile. There was plenty leftover for dinner.“

“I am so grateful they offer vegetarian (vegan) tacos. I suggest adding avocado to your order! It's So yummy!“

“Don't compare the food to the location or building. Thisis probably some of the best food in the valley, Bean and Egg reminds me of home cooking, made with much love in some of the dishes they serve. I always recommend this place to everyone“

“Heading back from South Padre we decided to give this place a shot. It's a simple restaurant with a small menu. The food was amazing! 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.“

“To Jeanie and her staff at Panchito’sYou have managed to become the BEST part about Harlingen. Through overcoming what Covid through at you, to reopening with limited staff, pushing through what life throws at you, the economy and it rising prices and now to your sister battling cancer(and she will persevere).Establishments like you are what we need in this town….in this world. For those that have never been, yes they are curbside. But in no way does that stop them from serving you the best, freshest food, with a smile. The food is just like grandma makes. It just makes you feel all warm and cozy, while certainly filling up the belly. My family and I love to order from here and we try to as often as we can. We love to support our local hidden gems and this restaurant is a GEM.I was compelled to write this review, because of a post on Facebook. Someone complaining of the prices of a fajita taco and they can get a better deal at Stripes. Psshh…..I DON”T THINK SO!! You cannot compare a homemade taco to a stripes taco, no way. Prices for food have skyrocketed to an unimaginable high. Gas is ridiculous! Adjustments have to be made and therefore prices must go up. They have families that depend on them. Have I ordered a fajita taco from Panchito’s…yes I have. It was the best and freshest fajita taco that I have ever had, at any local restaurant. Though I must say, the carne guisada on the large 16 inch tortilla, with rice, beans, lettuce and tomato, is my absolute favorite. The 16 inch carne guisada taco, on the menu is $18.99 and the 9 inch is $10.99. Is that too much for a taco? Not really. Is it worth it? 100% YES!! Will I order it again? ABSOLUTELY!!You pay for the quality of the food, the heart that goes into the cooking, the smile and warm greeting when it’s brought out to you. I will come back over and over again. In fact, I had Panchito’s for lunch today. I had their lunch special of Calabaza con Pollo and it was THE BEST! I may sound like I am over exaggerating but my taste buds don’t lie….and neither does my belly.With that said, Jeanie, THANK YOU. Thank you for providing your customers with excellent food and service. Thank you for all the sacrifices you have made to keep moving forward and providing Harlingen with the best homemade food. Thank you for being the light for the community and helping others in need. THANK YOU!Panchitos’ is the BEST part about Harlingen. Panchito’s IS Harlingen.“

“The gorditas are delicious.“

“Great food and the service is great!“

“We want to extend my sincere appreciation to Don Gollito for their exceptional hospitality in hosting Diana Cortez Young’s campaign kickoff. The atmosphere was warm and welcoming, the service was attentive, and the food was absolutely delicious. Every detail was thoughtfully handled, making the event a fantastic experience for everyone in attendance. From the flavorful dishes to the outstanding service, Don Gollito truly went above and beyond to create a memorable evening. I highly recommend them to anyone looking for great food and a top-notch dining experience. Thank you for your generosity“

“Riquísimo el asado de puerco y el caldo de pollo,todo está muy rico“

“The homemade chips can be a little hard to eat but their salsa is TO DIE FOR! I've loved their salsa for years! The beef fajitas are so tender and tasty. My husband gets the roasted half chicken and loves it. The service is great too. We go 1 or 2 times a week.“

“Muy sabrosas las gorditas de picadillo .“

“This is one of my favorite Mexican restaurants in the valley. Everything is taste and the prices are not high. We got an agua de horchata and an agua de melón. 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.“

“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.“

“Food made fresh to order, old school feel, what you see is what you get, breakfast specials are worth every penny. Coffee was also great and service was good while being a little short handed. Tortillas also made from scratch 😋 Highly recommend.“

“We have hot chocolate and caldo de res and caldo de pollo“

“Great food and outstanding service“

“I’ve been going here since I was 7yrs old.
It’s been the same ladies and they know me so well, “Guerrito is here!”
Just the tacos and beans itself is enough to satisfy me plenty! They are currently closed for renovations as of July 5th but I hope to see them soon“

“Great food and the service is great!“
