I stopped in here on a work trip for dinner. The corner of the cantina was great. The cantina…read moreroom is very chill and the live music was great. Food was mixed. The heirloom tomato salad was not using heirloom tomatoes. They tasted like generic restaurant grade raw tomatoes and were grainy. Great dish but the tomato choice needs to be reconsidered. The Mesa chicken was great. Super tasty and moist. The server was either inexperienced or overwhelmed with tasks. Nice but had entree coming out before salad and a separate issue which resulted in my entree being sent back. Everyone was great with the correction but it definitely seems there are some organizational issues going on. I'd absolutely eat here again and would love to try the main restaurant.

The restaurant's decor feels dated. Glassware, plates, etc could be updatable to give a more modern feel. 3. The staff was courteous and attentive. 4. There is no fried rice with any of the dishes. I was very surprised since it's one of my favorite things with Chinese food!

I understand that the restaurant closes early but if we arrive before closing our food should be hot. Especially if it is a hot dish. Also, get there early if you want a booth because they won't sit you there past a certain ttime. Either your restaurant is open and all seating is available or close for the day. The staff and management need to understand that your salary is based on the client, if you want to go home early then close earlier.

I've been to McAllen frequently in the past several years, but I had always been told that this…read moreplace was "okay, but nothing special", so I avoided it as there are plenty of great options. This time, it was the first option that was recommended, which certainly got my attention. When I walked in, it was obvious that there is a renewal happening here - the restautant itself is getting quite a nice makeover, but while I love a nice ambiance, you can't eat the atmosphere. That said, I love the fact that even though there is lots of great energy in such a lovely space, I could still hear the people across the table. The true test of course is the food. I'd rather have a great meal in a dive bar than so-so food in an elegant room. The good news is that I did not have to choose. I don't know what the food was like before, but clearly what is happening on the plate has been elevated well above "okay, but nothing special". As usual when I travel, I dined with a group. While I very much enjoy the company of others, I also like being able to try taste more dishes, especially when I go somewhere for the first time. That allowed me to swoon over the hamachi crudo, crab cake (a favorite in general), lobster tail (very creative), the bacon mac & cheese, the king salmon, and the carrot cake (another favoriote). I don't love red meat, but my friends were just as effusive about the steaks. There's a real vibe to this place - a pride in the food, the place, and the experience. Go (or go back)!

The cocktails were excellent, and what started as "just one round" quickly turned into sharing a delicious appetizer of chicharrón de rib eye, beautifully plated and full of flavor. We couldn't leave without trying the warm, golden cornbread dessert, and it did not disappoint: soft, sweet, and absolutely addictive. The ambience is elegant yet relaxed, making it easy to linger, and the service was top-notch--attentive, friendly, and perfectly timed. What was meant to be a quick stop turned into one of the highlights of our evening.

I stopped here for lunch on a sunday but found out they were serving their brunch menu. They had…read moresome good stuff for brunch. I ordered the french toast with sausage. I was a little disappointed with what I got though. There was no powdered sugar, they did not provide any syrup (on the side would have been good), and it was generally bland. The sausage patty I am almost certain was the same you could find at the grocery store, Jimmy Dean sausage pattys, they come in 8 packs... Unlike just about anywhere I have had breakfast, including side of the road diners in the middle of nowhere I was not offered a refill on my coffee. I should've asked though because I was double charged for all the drinks at my table. They were only $3 each (the coffee too) so not a big deal. As for ambience the place has a really great vibe and they even had a performer playing spanish guitar. The place got pretty full but I am not sure why. I don't plan on visiting again and I cant give my recommendation for them with this experience but try them out if you will. You may have a better experience.

The red and green salsas were very good, one spicier than the other for anyone's taste. Service is always amazing, friendly and polite staff. I always recommend Nana's to anyone new to the Valley. Something for everyone, and no matter what you order, you're going to be satisfied.
