Nice facility with good waitstaff but service was a little slow. Seems to be over-priced for the meals that were served. The "enchiladas ala chipolte" lacked flavor but had plenty of chicken in them. The "Camarones a la Rebecca" had good sized shrimp but the bacon was way undercooked, almost to the point of being raw.

When we walked in it smelled great and service was very friendly and prompt. The 3 sauces for the chips were great. The chimichurro sauce was their house favorite. Lots of garlic and spice. The chicken cauldo was good especially after we added some chimichurro, then it was super. I had the shrimp nachos ( canât remember the name on the menu. It was excellent, my husband had enchiladas and chili relleno. He said it was good but nothing special. As the meal went on the service faltered and we sat for over 10 mins waiting for the check after the plates had been removed. All and all though we did enjoy it and would go back.

In my opinion this is probably the best restaurant in McAllen. My wife and I recently were in McAllen and ate there twice. The ambiance and decor is kind of Texas and Southwest in style, really nicely done. They have a huge selection of wine (if youâre a wine drinker). They also have Happy Hour wine from 4:00 to 7:00 with house wine for $5 a glass. I tried the Barramundi filet, the crab cakes, and the tenderloin shish-kabobs. It was all great, but Iâve got to say that the tenderloin was amazing. Plenty of steak, that literally, I could cut with my fork, it came with scalloped potatoes and lots of mixed vegetables on a huge plate, all for $20. I canât get a steak that good for only $20 anywhere north of the Rio Grande Valley. The service was excellent as well. Last word, ask them about their own creation, a dessert that looks like a taco but is to die for. Seriously, youâre gonna want to try it! Great place for dinner! Highly recommend it!

Best fajita and chicken botanas in area. Also has A very good breakfast buffet.fajitas are very tender and the tortillas, flour or corn are homemade, not from a package. Waiters were very attentive and accessible at all times. Good price, you get your money's worth. Will definitely recommend this place.
2. Taqueria Rios
Reviewed By maggiedanurse
It's a local place meaning a lot of latino Americans and Mexican nationals. Not winter Texans from I35 way north. Food is good price is cheap. The red and yellow bottles they put on the table are salsa not ketchup and mustard. (Like I thought). Service was fast the place is full. To sum it up good food cheap prices and excellent service.

4/13/19@ 1430. Don't let the one and two star reviews dissuade you. Those reviews are for the old restaurant (about 400 ft South of current location). This restaurant is newer, only about nine months old. The food is some of the best in the valley, the service is second to none and this establishment is very clean. If you don't give this place a try, you are only cheating yourself!! We had to wait for a parking spot at 2:30 in the afternoon....it's that good!!
