“Fui a "La Tortería" buscando una comida deliciosa y me encontré con una experiencia fantástica. ​La Torta de Fajita: ¡Un Placer! ​Pedí la Torta de Fajita y superó mis expectativas. El sabor de la carne es excelente, jugosa y bien sazonada. El pan estaba fresco y crujiente, y el tamaño de la torta es muy generoso, perfecto para quedar satisfecho. Realmente se nota la calidad en cada ingrediente. ​Servicio Inigualable ​Quiero hacer una mención especial a Emilio, quien nos atendió. Fue excepcional: muy atento, rápido y con una gran actitud. Hizo que nuestra visita fuera aún más placentera. ¡Un servicio de primera! ​En Resumen ​Si estás buscando una torta auténtica y sabrosa en un lugar donde te atiendan de maravilla, tienes que visitar La Tortería. ¡Definitivamente volveré por más!“

“Los chicharrones muy ricos“

“Carmelita’s Restaurant in Pharr is greatly recommended! The restaurant is very clean, waitstaff is very friendly and attentive to all your needs. The food is fresh and made to order! We ordered mixed botanas, which were generously served! The owner went above and beyond to help my husband and I plan my mother in laws 80th birthday celebration! This location closes at 3pm Monday through Saturday, however private celebrations can be planned for the evening. Sits about 65 people comfortably. Give them a call or visit the restaurant to plan your next amazing fiesta! They take care of everything! Just take your cake and any extras!“

“Delicious!! I can't explain how YUM the food is. I had the tacos and they were really great. The juice from the taco meat has such a great flavor and they give you that for dipping. Also we reheated it the next day and it was even better! I highly recommend their food. This will be a regular on mine and my moms list when we want tacos. You won't be disappointed!“

“El Pocito Mexican Tortillería is one of those rare places that should be preserved as a historical and cultural landmark, not just a business. According to locals, it’s been around for over 100 years, and after eating here, I believe it.

The building is old, worn, and unapologetically traditional. Nothing fancy, nothing staged. They still make handmade tortillas using real nixtamalized corn, the way it has been done for generations. The flavor is deeply rustic, pure, and incredibly good. This is the kind of food that reminds you how things used to taste before shortcuts and additives took over.

The gorditas are excellent. Thick, freshly cooked, and generously filled with options like meat and chicharrón. You can also buy plain gorditas, fresh tortillas, or masa to take home and cook yourself. Many people order to go, and seating is very limited, but that’s part of the experience. This food is meant to be eaten fresh and right away.

They are cash only, and while I don’t know the reason, everything is clean, well organized, and professionally done. You can see the process. You can smell it. Nothing here feels artificial.

Most importantly, the flavor hasn’t changed. That matters. Places like this are disappearing fast, and once they’re gone, they’re gone forever. El Pocito is a reminder of real food, real tradition, and real craftsmanship. Support it while it’s still here“

“I have been wanting to go to La Casa de la Abuela (Grandma's House) for a long time. Friends of mine have raved about how good the food is. Well, they were right. La Casa de la Abuela covers every category for a delightful breakfast, brunch or lunch: a menu with great variety, quality delicious food, excellent service, a beautiful and pleasant atmosphere, good parking and a great location.

My friend had the enchiladas suizas. I ordered the chilaquiles rojas con pollo. The menu warned that the salsa roja is spicy... and they are right. 🌶 I like spicy, and this gave me the hiccups! 😄 Not to worry, they have several options, including mild ones.

I was impressed with their molcajete of guacamole, the refreshing strawberry lemonade, the classy presentation of each dish. I almost ordered the chile relleno or the torta ahogada. I learned they make their own birote (a denser kind of bread roll) for the torta ahogadas, which is key for that dish hailing from Jalisco, which is smothered in salsa prior to serving.

Everything I saw was spotless, elegant, and beautifully decorated. It's a new fave, and I will go back. When I do, I want to try one of their pastries: conchas, chocolate or strawberries and cream filled croissants, and more.

This was a great place for a meet-up with a good friend. It would also be great for a date with my wife, a business lunch, or small groups. The dining room is not very big, so large groups would need to find another option.

I highly recommend, Grandma's House!“

“This place offers really good authentic mexican dishes. I got the machaca taco and papas con chorizo y huevo taco as well. My dad got the daily special that included huevos a la mexicana with potatoes, beans and incliluded beverage for $6.99. The tortillas were all handmade. Really good!“

“I will start with the tacos, they are high quality and they load them up!! I usually get trompo and tripa tacos. The tripa is always delicious. Service is ok, they are not rude or anything just ok. Music is a bit loud at times for the size of the location, regardless highly recommend this place.“

“All i have to say is this place was beyond our expectations. While waiting over an hour at another breakfast place we stumbled upon this cafe with a simple google search. My husband called to see if they had a waiting time and just our luck they didnt and even offered to reserve our table for our party. Customer service was excellent, and the food was chef kissed!! You can tell they make their food with love, it was so tasty 😋 overall this place is great and i cant wait to come back for those chilaquiles 🫢🫢“
