I don't know why it has 3 stars honestly. They have awesome pancakes and coffee! I ordered chorizo and egg and the tortillas were homemade which was great. Service was awesome too, great mom and pop shop to visit In Edinburg.

The Moonlight Cafe is exactly the small locally owned restaurant you want to see when visiting Edinburg. You go in knowing you are going to be taken care of quickly with recipes they have been making like clockwork for years, leaving little room for error and promising a delicious, well practiced dish. On this trip, I walked in right at open for a quick taco before heading to work and was taken care of by the owner himself who had my order ready in no time. Not a complaint in the world as this is exactly the kind of place I am drawn to and prefer to send my money! I take annual trips to The Valley for work, and The Moonlight Cafe will be getting a visit every time.

This place, for sure, is in the top 3 places to eat at! The interior felt so welcoming, and all the staff were extremely nice and professional. The genuine handmade tortillas and freshness of everything made my experience even better! It's worth the price!

This was on a top list of restaurants based on Google and was right next to hotel we stayed at so it was a must try. I'm originally from the RGV so it's always great to come back and have some delicious Mexican food and this place was hands down one of the best. The place was a very warm and inviting place and staff was very friendly and attentive. I had the picadillo plate and my husband had the carne guisada and we both had flour tortillas. The food reminded me of my grandmother's and mother's cooking. We plan to come back for their breakfast. Vicky recommend this place.

Ate here last night 8/1/2020 as well as breakfast the same day. VERY VERY good authentic Mexican food! I had the Chimichanga. This is not a true Chimichanga, as that is a flour tortilla, rolled and fried. This is more like a large Enchilada but BOY was it tasty!! Definitely recommend it!! Breakfast was eggs and Chorizo, VERY tasty as well!!!
