I've been a fan of Sylvia's for many years, have taken tons of out of town company there, and have never been disappointed. The food is always fresh and beautifully prepared. The chips are warm, as is the salsa, and they keep it coming. The enchiladas are the best anywhere, just the way I like them. Other places serve them loaded with cheese, which means all you taste is the cheese. Not Sylvia's. You can't go wrong going there. I don't understand the people who have given this gem of a restaurant bad reviews. Actually, I've come to the conclusion that an awful lot of people don't know good food. They only know loaded plates.
We have been eating at this Sylvia's location since it was first established. The food has always been consistently good. The food here is equal to the price paid. Carne asada is great along with most of their enchilada dishes. The red tortilla shop is fantastic. Most of the time service is top notch. Folks reviews on Mexican food can be very greatly depending upon taste but Sylvia's is a solid choice compared to other Mexican restaurants in the area.
Just walking in, we were greeted with big smiles and pretty decorations. We were seated promptly and presented with chips and amazing salsa. Just the right kick to it. Our waiter, Arturo, was prompt and friendly. I ordered the Harlingen, which is two HUGE beef enchiladas, while bae ordered the Texas Fish Tacos.
The food was delicious. Arturo filled our drinks up frequently and cleared the table of any extra plates promptly. Over all the whole experience was great and we will totally recommend this place to our family and friends.
