Food was great! The best enchiladas I've ever had. Recommend to everyone, can't wait to come back! Server was great as well, don't hesitate, come and get some!
Picadillo, is as close as close to how my mom used to cook it.it was cooked the ole traditional way with the spices that compliment the ground beef.
This is an awesome place to eat!! We’re just visiting Harlingen and happened up it! It was a delightful experience and the food is excellent!! We had Fajita Nachos - Excellent!!!! Guacamole was so good!!! The cheese enchiladas were great and chili con queso was probably the best I’ve ever had!!! They even have wonderful homemade chips!! The waitresses /waiters were so nice-always a smile!!! We will be back!!!!
Got here today 12/8/2025 its a busy place. But let me just say i realize why its a busy place. Food is out this world. This place its been here for a long while and I can truly say I know why. Very friendly waitresses and I met the sister of the owners and she is an amazing woman. Thank you for hospitality and professionalism that you show us as customers. I pray that our Lord continue to bless this place and that people feel as comfortable coming here as we did. THANK YOU. And please let's never forget to tip the amazing and awesome waitresses
The refried beans are the absolute greatest on earth, the cheese is amazing. Tortillas they serve on the side are fluffy and delicious. Truly I love this place so much.
I ordered the enchiladas, beans, and beef tacos with a sweet tea, and everything was absolutely delicious. The flavors tasted fresh and homemade. The staff were very friendly and the cozy, warm atmosphere made the meal even better. Definitely a place I’ll be coming back to, highly recommended! 🌮✨🤤
We found the "Las Vegas Cafe" online. The food here was excellent! The refried beans were some of the best I've had. Rice was great and the Enchiladas were awesome! The waitress brought flour tortillas and salsa both were very good the salsa had a little warmth to them but the flavor got to shine. Our waitress was very nice, prompt, and attentive. The restaurant was clean and inviting. Very well done! We will be back.
Hey all, it’s me again. Yesterday we went to this place recommend by a local resident. WOW … what a delight!!! The place was crowded when we arrived and crowded when we left. Food was really good and came in a timely manner, but the SERVICE is what I wanna tell you about. From Anna at the front to our server, Angie, really it was from the minute we walked in to the minute we left, it was smiles ALL AROUND. The people who work there actually seemed so happy to be working there and happy to be serving their customers, I mean ALL of them! I’d go back to this place just to get some more of that joy The place is jumpin’ with joy!! BEAUTIFULLY decorated for Christmas just made me feel so happy! The food, again, was good! Whatever you do, DON’T MISS LAS VEGAS CAFE!
We got a to-go order and believe it or not, the food was still hot and fresh. I'm not sure if they have a new cook, but the food is, dare I say, better! We asked for refried beans and I swear it's the only establishment that actually makes them super refried. I love that.
Wow! What great meal. I had the beef enchiladas and my wife the Gentleman's Choice. Both meals were fantastic. Great servers. Very friendly. Traditional Mexican atmosphere and congeniality. Plenty of good off street parking.
