“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!”

“The bbq is good and they give you samples of each meat for first timers. It's a bit too smokey for me. Service was great, friendly. Old folks may have a challenge hearing what they say, kinda noisy at the counter.
Table was not cleaned well, sticky.”

“I treated my current side chick to burgers, fries and onion rings today for lunch. I decided to finally give Big Daddys Burgers a try, everyone is always telling me how great the burgers are here. We ordered cheese burgers and a coke, French fries came free, and also ordered onion rings. My only concern is that they don't sell Mexican coke. The waitress brought us complimentary chips and salsa. The salsa was freshly made, with just the right amount of heat and spectacular flavor. What a masterpiece of a burger, with a thick, juicy patty of fresh beef, grilled to perfection and topped with cheese that drapes over the edges. It's nestled in a lightly toasted, soft bun and layered with crisp lettuce, ripe tomato, and fresh purple onion. The savory, meaty flavor is complemented by the condiments, creating a truly mouthwatering experience. Alongside the burger is a generous mound of golden-brown french fries. Each fry is perfectly crisp on the outside with a tender, fluffy potato interior, delivering a satisfying crunch and a warm, earthy flavor with every bite. The light dusting of salt makes them irresistible. Completing the plate are the hand-breaded onion rings, with a delicate, golden-brown crust that shatters on impact. Inside, the sweet, tender onion melts in your mouth, offering a perfect blend of savory batter and natural goodness. I will definitely be returning to explore some of the other menu options available..”

“I went in and spoke with Ithiel and wasn’t exactly sure what I wanted. He kindly let me sample a small piece of fajita before I made my purchase, which really helped. I appreciated how he walked me through the menu and took the time to help me decide. I would love for every H-E-B employee to be trained the way he was. I’ve honestly never experienced service like that before now I truly understand what “H-E-B magic” means. Proud to say this is my local H-E-B.”

“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.”

“Food is super delicious ,hot, and fresh. Waitstaff is very unfriendly, you wait awhile before someone comes to the front entrance. Workers in the front are always on the phone or chatting away. Servers are ok, some don't come back to check for refills. But the food is delicious! Great price, great quality. Staff needs retraining, phones should never be out unless on a break. Other than that, we've never been disappointed with the food.”
