As an annual parishioners, I've eaten here before and I love it! Earlier today, I had lunch at Azure. It consisted of their oh-so delicious ahi tuna salad. The greens and tuna practically occupied the whole plate, which was accompanied by a separate bowl of salad dressing and a pack of crackers. I enjoyed the salad so much that I nearly forgot about the crackers. There's no doubt if I ever drop by again around noon or after, I'll order it again. I want to mention that I had breakfast here before, too. I highly recommend the barbacoa, which tastes like it was grilled the way vaqueros (cowboys) in South Texas do theirs. You'll be fed generously of the meat, I promise you.

The mom and pop shop is definitely a place to visit. We had the breakfast platter which came with two pancakes. We customized the pancakes by adding berries and man were they delectable. The platter was very well served with bacon, ham, Canadian bacon, eggs, potatoes and the pancakes. We also tried the traditional eggs Benedict with side of potatoes and fruit. The bad: we saw previous yelp pics of the carrot cake and totally forgot to try. The ugly: have not tried for lunch but based on the menu I will be returning for sure. Support local

The food is always delicious, and was one of my go-to spots when I want to introduce friends to something a little different. I especially loved dining on the patio when I bring my dog along. The atmosphere is welcoming, relaxing, and perfect for enjoying a meal outdoors. What kept me coming back, though, is the staff. They are incredibly kind and always make me feel welcome. It's such a nice feeling to be greeted warmly and recognized as a returning guest. I've even celebrated my birthday here, which says a lot about how much I enjoy this place. As a bonus, there's a vintage thrift shop upstairs that I always love browsing before or after my meal. It adds even more charm to the experience and makes every visit feel a little special. I highly recommend the pasta, it's absolutely delicious! If you're looking for a charming local spot with great food, friendly service, and a unique atmosphere, Birdie Bistro is definitely worth a visit.

My husband and I ran into this place when we were visiting McAllen; it reminded us of local Houstonian places of the same caliber. The chilaquiles I had were one of the best I've had in Texas; and the mimosas were too, it wasn't bogged down with fake additives, this place added freshly- squeezed fruit juice (who even does that anymore?). Our server was soooooo patient and sweet as we navigated through the menu, wanting to try every piece of heaven from this place. We loved that the kitchen was "open-concept" and we could see the chefs LIVE & UPFRONT--but the place is small, so be ready to wait, but SO WORTH IT! Traveling to McAllen soon just for this place
