“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!”

“Noemi was amazing! She was fast and made sure the food was right before bringing it to the table. Tha Calzones are where its at. Friend Pickles and Ranch we so good. The medium wing sauce is phenomenal. Home cooked feel for much of the food. Comforting and Fun at the same time. Really liked the personal feel with no electronic pad at the table, it made the service feel more homey. Great place to have lunch or dinner before a movie. My husband and I will be back. 😊”

“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!”

“Best burgers I’ve had in the RGV, hands down!
I’ve tried a lot of burger places over the years, and nothing has topped Big Daddy’s Burgers so far. The burgers here taste authentic, fresh, and homemade—honestly, they remind me of the burgers my mom makes at home, and that’s one of the highest compliments I can give.
You can immediately tell the beef is fresh and high quality. The patties have that unique homemade flavor that you just don’t find at most chain restaurants. Every bite tasted like it was made with care, and the freshness really stands out.
The fries were another pleasant surprise. They have a very unique flavor in the best way possible. They taste like real potatoes, freshly cut and cooked, not the typical frozen fries you get everywhere else. They tasted natural, authentic, and perfectly complemented the burger.
The portions were generous, the food was fresh, and everything tasted amazing from start to finish. It’s rare to find a place where both the burgers and fries stand out, but Big Daddy’s absolutely delivers on both.
I’ve officially found my new favorite burger spot, and I’ll continue supporting this business as long as they keep doing what they’re doing. Thank you to the entire team for an incredible meal and experience. Keep up the great work!
🍔❤️ Highly recommended! I’ll definitely be back. 😋👏🔥”

“Finding a Salvadoran restaurant in the RGV was a godsend! EVERY single thing we’ve ordered from there has been delicious (tamales, platano frito, pupusas, quesadillas, tortillas, casamiento, jugo de limón con pepino, jugo de maracuyá). As a person of Salvadoran heritage I was hopeful and this restaurant delivers in every way!!!! 10/10 recommend!”

“Just had a fantastic dinner at Elite Cuisine in Pharr, and I'm already planning my next visit! My husband and I stopped by for dinner on May 26th, and we were thoroughly impressed. The restaurant offers a casual and clean environment with nice decor, making it a comfortable spot for a relaxed meal. The staff was incredibly attentive, ensuring a smooth and enjoyable dining experience from start to finish. For my main course, I ordered the fajita plate, which came with fresh French fries, rice, and beans. Not only was the food presentation very good, but the taste was even better. Everything was incredibly flavorful and satisfying. And the best part? The plate was a steal at just $14.95! Overall, our experience at Elite Cuisine was great. The combination of excellent food, attentive service, a pleasant atmosphere, and an unbeatable price makes it a definite must-try. I would definitely go back.”
