Get the Chicken Fried Steak! Very fresh! I love the old Texas memorabilia, gives it a lot of character. Ask for Becky, she'll tell you the history of the area and is very knowledgeable.

Owsom authentic Mexican food 😋 combined with a great atmosphere, historic old pictures, wonderful service at a fair price, $machacado tacos x $2.50, ni en Camargo. Check out this old picture with a small building serving as a court, notary public office and beer saloon. In this 1939 Cafe, you learn while enjoying 😉 delicious 😋 meals.

This is my favorite place to eat. It's been around since 1939. They are open daily until 2pm. I've eaten there for breakfast when I am in town visiting family.

We stopped here while visiting family and loved this place! The food tastes homemade with quality ingredients. What's even better are the prices. We had a coffee, 2 tacos, one breakfast special, one bowl of oatmeal, toast and an omelet for $23.78. The location is in the historic part of Rio Grande City, so there's lots of interesting old buildings in a walking distance. This is definitely one of our favorite home town spots now.

This place has really good food and great service. The server we had was super nice and was open to talk and share personal attributes about herself. The only problem with the service was that it took them way to long to bring us menus. They even added in a free complimentary soup In with our meal. Which was REALLY good. Their menu was all really cheap and tasted really good. It had a huge tasty variety. The food was all portioned so well. For it being so cheap I'm surprised it was so good, and so much of it. My last complaint was is the cleanliness of the bathroom. It was a little different with a rusty sink spout and a really sticky floor. I loved the theme and design they had in their restaurant. It had a nice cozy old timey cottage feel. The room was perfectly lit and the servers were so nice. The whole place was really quiet and not busy at all. Big thanks to the cools and our waitress. You guys really did do a good job. I would definitely recommend going here!

Just finished sightseeing at The Groto and La Bordie House in Rio Grande City and wanted a snack and drink to hold us over until dinner. Walked up the hill to The Texas Cafe and was pleasantly surprised. The atmosphere is down home friendly, laid back and nostalgic, with walls covered in pictures that will take you back in time. They created plenty for our group to talk about during the meal. We were only needing drinks and a snack so decided to order a plate of tacos to share like an appetizer. We were surprised to receive bowls of vegetable beef soup as a starter and it was hearty and delicious. The tacos were quite the plateful and loaded with ingredients. The staff were amazingly friendly and service was exemplary. Hope to return to try a full meal in near the future.
