La Olla Mexican Restaurant

Don't let the size or location fool you, this is a absolutely fantastic restaurant! Starting with the staff, they are very attentive and polite. The food is delicious and the servings are plentiful! The prices are very reasonable, you won't be disappointed.

Incredibly fresh and delicious! Corn tortillas I think had some flour in them, they were thick, pliable and fantastic!! Chicken soup had mounds of vegetables and chicken served on the side. My friend said the hamburger was super delicious and the bun was freshly made and perfectly toasted. VERY reasonable prices!! :)

I was looking for a quick bite & something really close to the Hidalgo County Courthouse. Found this place using Yelp! While it doesn't look very appealing on the outside, it is very clean inside. It's a little dated mom & pop Mexican restaurant which seems to be a local favorite as I'm observing the regular guests coming in and interacting w/the staff. The food is hot, quick & quite tasty. The tortillas are home-made. While my plate (picadillo) was not quite what I was hoping for it was still ok but, I'll definitely try something different next time.

Great value for the wonderful tasting breakfast. Service was very attentive and the food flavorful, especially the freshly made tortillas!

the most disgusting restaurant we have ever been to... 6-1-24... a big cockroach was in my husbands menudo !!... we were patient and discreet to not make a big deal about it.. and what happens the owner gets offended, treated us bad and denyed the whole situation.. we were shocked by her whole approach to this.. which leads us to believe they have a nasty dirty kitchen... owner was very defensive, instead of apologizing!!! plus the food is horrible... please stay away from this place !!!

Delicious home style food. Nothing fancy but always good comfort food. Breakfast is good and lunch specials are usually great. Service is prompt and friendly. One of my regular go to places for lunch.

This is such a nice restaurant and I love little "family" run places. The food is good and plenty. It's a great breakfast place too. Last spring we were at South Padre and everything was packed out. We came here and had a great little shrimp dinner. Fantastic!

Don't judge this book buy it's cover. Don't let the outside view fool you. Food is cooked to order and very tasty. So why the 4 star rating... Staff could be more friendly. A smile goes a long way.
