El Rancho

Definitely a must try Tex Mex fave in Harlingen. Food is always good. Service is always as attentive as possible. Friendly staff. The ambiance is family style large gathering with of course smaller tables & can sometimes be really loud; depending upon when you visit (late night weekends). Prices are fair and lower than some other restaurants. No alcohol as it is a family environment No WiFi but they accept ApplePay. Always ask first in the RGV lol.

Management really needs to do something about the phone line. Like answer them! I've been calling since 2 weeks ago tired 2 different days keeps getting hung up on 3 different times! Tried again this week and NOTHING! Drove up to the window to order still couldn't even open the window had me there for 6 mins. Went to another restaurant and drove by and there was people waiting at the drive thru. So what's the problem when I try to order? Doesn't matter now will not be going back here a shame.

Went here for lunch after Easter services. Great Mexican food, great service. Highly recommend it.

Finally found a 24 hour place for breakfast! This place has ALL the options! Tripas, Chicken Fried Steak, enchiladas, burgers, fajitas, seafood platters...I could go on forever! Quite authentic in many ways. Dine with the locals! Come as you are! I had the street tacos with chicken: YUM.

Love! Green enchiladas are delicious, servers could have been more accommodating but it wasn't bad!

Haven't been here in a long time and don't know why. Breakfast tacos are awesome! Tortilla is freshly made with nice amount of filling. I got 2 large ones (potato n egg and bacon n egg) and cleaned the beans off the plates. First time trying the pancakes and wow! These give Dennys some serious competition. Syrup is better than dennys too. The pancakes absorbed the syrup and kinda reminded me of the school breakfast pancakes. I didn't get to try the tacos because my daughter ate them so fast and didn't offer me any, she said they were delicious and she's a picky eater. The coffee was not that great (dennys coffee beats it) but everything else was great! Highly recommend and will be coming back for more. Prices are super cheap too! Large tacos were around $3.50 and they're huge. Order of bistek tacos was $9.99 with beans and grilled onion and the 2 pancakes was around $3 something. Prices are unbeatable for what you get. Will be a regular here once again! I love how the napkin holders have Bible scriptures on them too. Great atmosphere and cheap good food!

Just don't order egg whites cook separate yolk by allowing whites to run through their hand. Owner takes advantage of undocumented employees by not paying overtime and shuffling them around the other family owned restaurants.no handwash stations for servers or cooks. One of the dirtiest places I've seen.

Nice Food and Service!Food was good. Server was friendly but he did come to asked us if we wanted more water or tea n we needed some. He asked us at the end when he brought the ticket. We had already eaten. Other then this all else was good.

Went there to have a late dinner with my sister. I ordered a plate to go and they didn't add the fajita taco that goes with the plate. I guess I should've checked, but damn! Why can't they get their sh*t together. I tried calling them but apparently they ain't taking phone calls. ‍‍Moral of the story: Always check your to-gos before you leave.

The beef caldo-- I got a reheated bowl of slop. Everything in it was boiled to mush except for three slices of carrot. The beef was tough and had no taste. The broth-- could have been sink water..horrible flavor. The tortillas and rice were good.
