I have been here twice now for breakfast. Both times it was excellent. The staff and the owner have been wonderful. It has a great atmosphere. This will be a go to place for sure!
The food is great, the service is terrific and the staff is always friendly and welcoming!!!!
Absolutely love this spot! Ambience and decor inside is amazing! Great spot I check out for breakfast, for starters you get a little serving of arroz con leche and various pieces of sweet bread which was awesome. Menu has great selection, their micas were delicious and their flour tortillas are great! Service was also on point I think it's my new go to breakfast spot when I'm in the valley!
Had a great visit was well worth it. The locals in San Benito called it the second best in the Harlingen San Benito area. You will enjoy. https://youtu.be/xHVRyK7jOB4
So the food is good, the corn tortillas are homemade as well the salsas. The piggies in a blanket are so good! I want to try the French toast sandwich next time. Service was great, they even sing me happy bday and bring me a dona cake with a candle, everyone was very kind. The ambiance is festive and happy, with some music playing on the background and a lot of people enjoying and talking.
