Lil Rita's Grill House (Thai Cuisine)

Absolutely amazing! Lil Rita’s Grill House is hands down one of the best Thai restaurants in the Valley. Everything was so yummy and full of flavor. The staff was super friendly and made the experience even better. Highly recommend trying the Thai Tea (so refreshing!), the Pad Thai (classic and delicious), and my personal favorite—the Yellow Curry. It was rich, creamy, and just the right amount of spice. Can’t wait to go back!

Recently, the Wife and me had an opportunity to stop in on this hidden gem of Harlingen when it comes to Truly Authentic Thai cuisine. At first glance, you arrive to think that you are going to visit someone at their home but as soon as you open the door, you are greeted with wonderful aroma of herbs and spices that are permutating the room from the kitchen. We were welcomed by two lovely ladies (Sarah and Steph) who advised us to sit where we would like. The cozy atmosphere was very warming and inviting to where we did not feel like we were in restaurant but rather visiting family. We looked over the menu and decided for trying out a few different options. Thai Iced Tea: Sweet and bold that blended quite well together but should be taken in stride as if you are not careful, you will

We got the pad Thai and the pineapple curry. And a Thai tea of course. The flavor of everything was amazing! But we won’t be back because the portions simply ARE NOT worth the price. The tiniest portions I ever seen and they asked if I wanted to add a side of rice for an up charge and it was so tiny! $40 for two small plates and one drink

Delicious panang curry. Pad thai was awesome. Thai tea is also very well made. Very polite service but not the fastest. It is worth the wait, however. Portions are not the biggest, but again, they are worth it. Very homemade Thai.

Lovely place! Great food. Awesome service. Our waiter was very patient with us despite us not knowing what we wanted. Did not catch the gentleman’s name, but many thanks! Been to lil ritas a handful of times and it is always a pleasant experience!
