Keno Cafe

10/​21/​2015 keno café with the family! I’m from Dallas and brought my husband here. The dinner rolls were just like my dad use to get us when I was little! they didn’t have the French dressing for my fries and gravy but Brissy said she will have some at our next visit! I wish they had the original fries maybe next time! The quickie was good!

Friendly service, great prices, decent food. I love their breakfast specials, and their lunch specials aren’t bad at all. Try to get there early, though. Winter Texans usually fill the place up around 8−9am.

Just tried this place for the first time. Love the enchiladas and the ROLL is to die for. Take some to go!

Overall everthing I tasted was just ok. Very bland. The salsa was the highlight of that says anything. The history of the place is very long and more interesting than the food. I’ve only been in town one day and know that there are better options in town.

Keno Café — ah, how I miss thee! I worked in Weslaco for the past 8 years (until I moved to Austin in Jan.) and Keno’s Café is a great lil’ place to stuff your face any time of the day. The service is quick, the food is delicious and the location is easily accessible from old 83 and Texas Blvd. I worked at the City Hall (a parking lot away) and they would deliver breakfast tacos and lunch plates if requested. Speaking of… their breakfast! My favorite were their bacon/​bean tacos and they package a perfect little oatmeal breakfast that includes toast and all the fixins’ you need (milk, honey, jam, cinnamon, butter, sugar, etc.)
You can never go wrong with a «quickie» platter during the lunch rush — totally yummy hamburger steak with brown gravy, a heaping pile of french fries and a dixie roll — all for under $ 6.00.
The place has been there FOR AGES — my dad said when he was a kid and his father would make runs up to that part of the valley, they would stop at Keno’s for lunch or dinner… so, their longevity means they must be doing something right!
