The Original Blanquita’s — Restaurant in Harlingen

We hadn’t been to Blanquita’s over a year probably even longer since we moved. We come down to the valley and first thing we do for breakfast is come here. Horrible experience from start to finish. First, they never brought us bread like pan dulce which every other table had one okay fine whatever. then we order a sweet tea. they brought us unsweetened. all things i can over look. then i ordered a western omelette with yellow cheese inside and out. (my wife loves it like that specifically) they brought us the omelette with the wrong cheese (white cheese)and no cheese inside the omelette. she didn’t like it because the cheese was hard but she ate it. we were going to leave it at that no complaints we just won’t come anymore. well my partner went to pay and i see the cashier arguing with her while im at the table. i go over to see and the lady is charging us more for the cheese we didn’t even get and they charged us for a large pozole when i got medium. to top it off she’s telling my partner “This is the 2nd time!” insisting this has happened before as if we are refusing to pay for something we didn’t receive. which was completely not true. we don’t even live in the valley. honestly her customer service is the reason i’m even leaving a review because that was a horrible experience. we used to come so frequently when we lived here and had no complaints. now i see it’s just...

So few authentic Mexican food places around the RGV can claim to be truly authentic and Blanquitas restaurant can easily and freely do that. The atmosphere of the old school Mexican American restaurant will transport you back to the old hole in the wall, mom n pops, restaurant of yesteryear the second you walk in. The staff is very attentive and you will be surprised to hear the staff calling the patrons by their name. Talk about attention to detail. The food is super authentic and THAT right there is what keeps bringing the people back. The parking lot is always full, which of course, is a great sign for business. From their stuffed breakfast tacos to their lunch plates...you will never regret ordering anything from the menu....

This is my second time to eat here. I have to say both times I have been totally impressed with the quality of the food and the price. The service is also excellent. They greet you immediately upon entry and someone is taking your order within minutes. They also get your drinks out quickly. The best part was the bacon! I am a fan of quality bacon, and their bacon is thick and flavorful and not too salty and just right. Also, the eggs were very good. I had the two egg plate rancheros style. I highly recommend stopping by this location. If you’re looking for a quick affordable and quality breakfast in Harlingen this is a great option. Also I’m happy to tell you that they are expanding and will have more dining space in the...
