MY FRIENDS AND I TRIED THIS NEW PLACE FOR THE FIRST TIME TODAY. THE ATMOSPHERE AND DECOR WERE THE PERFECT BLEND OF ELEGANCE AND DOWN-HOME COMFORT. THE STAFF WAS VERY COURTEOUS. THE CHEESE ENCHILADAS WITH MEAT SAUCE WERE FANTASTIC, AS WAS THE SENIOR CITIZEN PLATE WITH THE SWISS ENCHILADA AND GRILLED PORK CHOP. (WE ALL JUST HAD TO SAMPLE EACH OTHERS ORDERS). THE "STREET TACOS" PLATE WAS WONDERFULLY DELICIOUS, AND THE PRESENTATION OF THE DISH WAS LOVELY. FINALLY, A GOOD NEW PLACE TO EAT THAT HAS GREAT PRICES. I ENCOURAGE EVERYONE TO COME AND SEE FOR YOURSELF!

DELICIOUS! QUALITY! CAN'T WAIT TO GO BACK FOR MORE, FINALLY A REALLY GOOD PLACE IN HARLINGEN FOR MEAT EATERS AND SUPER-SIZERS.

POOR SERVICE, FROZEN FOOD DIPPED IN OLD HOT GREASE, EVERYTHING TOO SALTY, GREASY, EXPENSIVE PRICE TO PAY FOR FROZEN T.V. DINNERS!

ABSOLUTELY THE BEST BIGGER THERE EVER WAS, SERVED UP RIGHT BY THE GUY WITH THE BIGGEST BUTT I EVER SAW!

WE LOOKED FORWARD TO THE OPENING OF THE NEW SUN PALACE IN HARLINGEN, AND ATE THERE AT 7 SATURDAY NIGHT. THE FOOD WAS WAY BELOW AVERAGE. THE MENU A REPEAT OF THE 7 OTHER CHINESE BUFFETS WITHIN 5 MILES, EXCEPT THAT IT OFFERED LESS VARIETY AND MUCH LOWER QUALITY AND SERVICE AT A HIGHER THAN AVERAGE PRICE. BUFFET ITEMS OUT OF STOCK FOR MORE THAN AN HOUR. WAIT STAFF AND MANAGER COMMUNICATED POORLY, REPEATEDLY, MADE EXCUSES, NEVER DELIVERED. DISTRESSING THAT WAIT STAFF HAD LONG POORLY SECURED HAIR, AS WELL AS A KITCHEN WORKER BRINGING OUT FOOD WITH HAIR STICKING OUT, BUSHY, SOILED AND IN ALL DIRECTIONS, FROM BENEATH HIS YELLOW CAP. STUFFED CRAB RAW AND COLD IN CENTER. BEEF TOUGH, NOTHING SEEMED FRESH. WE SHALL NOT RETURN.

PRICED A LITTLE HIGHER THAN THE OTHER ORIENTAL BUFFETS IN TOWN.
FOOD IS AVERAGE, FOR THE BUFFETS IN TOWN.

DO NOT TAKE THE FAMILY HERE.
ROUGH CUSTOMERS.

THE PASTA AND INTERNATIONAL DISHES ARE DIVINE. THE ATMOSPHERE IS EXCEPTIONAL WITH BEAUTIFUL DECOR. THE SERVER "KIM" IS SO NICE AND SHOULD BE COMMENDED FOR HER GREAT SERVICE.

THIS IS NOT YOUR TYPICAL EATERY. THE FOOD IS EXCELLENT, SERVICE VERY GOOD.

I AM NOT TOO FOND OF HUNAN BEEF ANYMORE, SINCE I FOUND OUT IT IS MADE FROM RODENTS.

TRIED THE PORK, CHICKEN, SAUSAGE, ENCHILADAS, SPANISH RICE, POTATO SALAD, CHARRO BEANS, TORTILLA. OUR FOOD WAS BROUGHT PROMPTLY BY A CLEAN CUT WAITER NAMED LOGAN, WHO TURNED OUT TO BE THE SON OF THE OWNER, BEN RUSHING. WE REALLY ENJOYED THE CLEANLINESS, WHOLESOME ATMOSPHERE, AND GOOD FOOD. WE PLAN TO RETURN SOON!

A PLEASURE TO DINE ON GOOD FOOD.

A LITTLE TOO HIGH PRICED MEXICAN FOOD FOR THE CONSISTENCY AND QUALITY. SLOW SERVICE. STAFF INATTENTIVE, ESPECIALLY TO GRINGOS.

FORMERLY CALLED "MI TIERRA", NOW CALLED "EL RANCHO". GOOD ORDINARY FOOD PREPARED WELL FOR A VERY REASONABLE PRICE. CLEAN, FRIENDLY.

PRICES A LITTLE HIGH FOR THE POOR QUALITY OF FOOD. TOUGH MEAT, FATTY, STRINGY, PORK WAS TAINTED, CHICKEN UNDERDONE. FLOOR DIRTY, TABLE TOPS STICKY, RESTROOMS UNATTENDED. STEER CLEAR.

PRICES A LITTLE HIGH FOR THIS MEDIOCRE, OVERLY SALTY, SOMETIMES COLD OR BURNED FOOD. GRINGOS NOT WELCOMED.

THE FOOD IS DELICIOUS, SERVICE GOOD, FRIENDLY ATMOSPHERE, CLEAN.
THE PRICES ARE A LITTLE BIT HIGH FOR THE AMOUNT OF FOOD SERVED, BUT STILL O.K.

THE FOOD PREP/COOK AREAS I COULD SEE WERE IN NEED OF CLEANING, ESPECIALLY THE FLOOR, WHICH WAS WET. THE GRILLING AREA WAS DIRTY. THE OVERLY SALTY FOOD WASN'T TOO BAD, IF YOU AREN'T CONCERNED ABOUT CHOLESTEROL.

NOT A GREAT VALUE FOR THE PRICE, INCONSISTENT QUALITY.

USED TO BE A GREAT CAFETERIA TO EAT AT, BUT THE QUALITY HAS GONE DOWNHILL IN GENERAL AND THE FOOD SERVED DAILY IS OF INCONSISTENT DELECTABILITY.

CLOSED DOWN.

FOOD IS NOT THAT GOOD.

DO NOT BELEIVE THAT CHANNEL 4 'FOOD FOR THOUGHT' FOOD 'PATROLLER', RYAN WOLF NINCOMPOOP. THIS IS A CONSISTENTLY GOOD PLACE TO EAT, AND YOU CAN'T BEAT THE PRICE!

CLOSED DOWN A COUPLE OF YEARS AGO.

IF YOU LIKE SLOW SERVICE, HIGH PRICES, AND HARD PANCAKES ON AN ICE COLD PLATE, THIS IS THE PLACE FOR YOU! RECOMMEND YOU GO TO DENNY'S OR GEM'S.

A GREAT PLACE WHEN IT FIRST OPENED, BUT IT WENT DOWNHILL WHEN IT CHANGED FROM A STEAK HOUSE TO A BUFFET ONLY. THE QUALITY IS VERY INCONSISTENT.

NO LONGER IN BUSINESS, THANK GOODNESS.

OCCASIONAL VARIANCE IN FRESHNESS OF CHICKEN, I.E., UNDER HEAT LAMP TOO LONG, DRY, HARD.

VERY INCONSISTENT QUALITY. SPOILED COLE SLAW, CHICKEN THAT CAUSES VOMING AND DIARRHEA ON OCCASION.

INCONSISTENT QUALITY.

BEST CHINESE FOOD IN HARLINGEN.

THIS NEW BUFFET OPENED IN JUNE, 2007. I HAVE DINED THERE AT LEAST 10 TIMES AND HAVE BEEN SATISFIED OVERALL WITH THE ORIENTAL CUISINE. THE FOOD FROM THE MONGOLIAN GRILL IS EXTREMELY SALTY. RECOMMEND YOU STICK WITH THE BUFFET ITEMS, WHICH ARE BEST AFTER 5 P.M. (EVEN THOUGH THE PRICE IS A LITTLE HIGHER AFTER 5 P.M.)

THIS PLACE CLOSED DOWN IN OCTOBER 2006.
