This was the best chicken fried steak breakfast I've had, eggs were cooked perfectly and the hashbrowns were exactly how I ordered them, crispy. My favorite part was the steak, cooked crispy, tender and hot.the cherry on top was the gravy and melted cheese. We rode 2 hours from Pharr, TX. Just to go try your breakfast. Thank you Ms.Wendy an your wonderful staff.excellent food Excellent service.will definitely go back again. 😁

I have had chicken fried steak that claimed to be the “world’s best before. This was so delicious and amazing it defies logic. Not only hands down the best I have ever had but they serve it with a delicious taco, enchilada, guacamole, rice beans and chips and salsa and all was off the charts good. It is a culinary delight and has been there forever. If you are driving thru make sure you try it!

Great food and great service!! Wait is about 15-20 mins but its okay because food comes out nice and hot. The quality and freshness of the food is also great. Plus, the plates are well served and worth the price! My favorite items on the menu are the chicken cordon bleu and the chicken fried steak.

From the sopita de fidello with the delicious paraíso plate everything was delicious haven’t been here since I was in 7th grade coming from Rio Grande city and I regret not coming again any sooner very great atmosphere and service the inside is so rustic and just brings vibes of something that defines TEX MEX will be back for sure !

Friendly service when you walk in. Waitress was attentive and knowledgeable on menu items. I ordered the chicken cordon bleu that came with two side, fresh vegetables and mashed potatoes. Food came out hot and fresh as you can see when I cut into the chicken, the mozzarella oozed out 👍🏻 I recommend this to anyone passing by Zapata, Texas for made to order home style food. Great job!
