There are no prices on the food board and I was quoted prices for different meats by the worker. I ordered a bean tostada, lengua taco and a soda. The food and service were good but the prices I was charged were different than what he told me when I made the order.

The beef was as if it had been reheated. The enchiladas were overly spicy! I wonder if they accidentally used the wrong salsa for the enchiladas. As for the establishment, it is quaint and offers plenty of indoor only seating. When we went, it was pretty busy. Hence the reviews posted by others.

Julio warmly greeted us and while we were trying to decide what to get, he brought us some complimentary De Fideo soup (we had never had it) and it was delicious.

Everything was fresh and the portions were plentiful in addition to impeccable service. We highly recommend this hidden gem and will definitely return on our next trip.

You walk in and either order take-out or eat in the modest seating area that can maybe seat 15-20. They have salads, sandwiches, and even a few pasta dishes as well as some specialty teas. I ordered the Southwestern salad and was pretty happy with both the portion size and quality of ingredients. I only wish the avocado was portioned more generously - I had maybe a teaspoon's worth but as I paid for my meal, I saw the Southwestern salad pictured on the wall with a few beautiful bright green slices of avocado. This is a great place to get a good selection of salads, prepared fresh. Hooray for healthy choices in the Rio Grande Valley!

As it was my first visit, I suggested my friends order for me so I could soak in the moment. As we were all served the same thing, the cute side salad arrived first with the mandarin orange inside it. Topped with a light cilantro dressing, it first appeared to me as prepared with a high art salad style I had been drilled with in culinary school. I blinked for a moment. Okay, maybe not...but I thought to order the large one next time because it was delicious and I could have eaten 5 servings alone... When the torta arrived looking like a little pink ghost, I laughed at the presentation of the deli ham covering the bread, but it was very good in the context of of the plate. I moved slowly through it between sips of the cold, tangy Jamaica tea until everything was done. I was impressed. For a quick lunch/break stop, I am looking forward to putting this one on my map of McAllen, Texas, and returning often to try other menu listings. My note for the readers is to beware of the salsa verde: it was very hot and most gringos like me might mistake it for a mild salsa...

La Pesca is a locally owned and operated Mexican style restaurant specializing in seafood, but also…read morehas plenty of options for those who prefer something else. It is also apparently quite popular with locals, which is a good sign! The location is easy to find on the corner of W. University Drive and 6th Ave. by the railroad tracks. The building is old and has probably been repurposed multiple times. There are just a few spaces to park directly in front but there are more places to park on the east side. The food was wonderful. The ceviche was mounded high on the tostada, a little salty, but mild; I added some of the salsa provided it was excellent. The seafood soup was also delicious and chuck full of fresh fish and shrimp. The broth was a typical Mexican style, but not spicy. The cocktail sauce is also Mexican style. Do not expect the traditional American style cocktail sauce with horseradish. This sweeter, tomatoey Mexican style cocktail sauce is what most want here. They do have plenty of Tabasco sauce if you prefer that. The Mar y Tierra botana platter for 2 was enough to feed at least 3 or 4. It came loaded with fish, shrimp, and fajitas along with multiple sides. My son really enjoyed it ...even as leftovers the next day. There are a few Americanized aspects: the fish on the botana platter was lightly breaded with what I think was a cornmeal /flour mixture, Southern style, and had a good flavor. The French fries also had a great light crispy coating. The platter included a couple of other American sides: onion rings and hush puppies. All these on top of chips (totopos), beans, and garnished with fresh avocado... This is a popular place, and seating is limited. So if you go on a Friday night like we did, be prepared to wait to be seated, and wait a while for your food. There was also a pretty long take-out line. Once the food arrived we really enjoyed it, but there was a significant wait. I'd like to return on perhaps a Monday or Tuesday night. The décor is rustic with a beachy yet homey feel (because of the old building). I've been to classier and fancier looking places, but but I don't think anyone goes to La Pesca for the ambience. They go for the food, and it is good enough to wait for if you happen to arrive at a busy time.

It's been awhile since I've updated my review of this local Edinburg establishment. Unfortunately,…read moreLa Pesca is losing a star from initial review of the place. La Pesca is one of those places that has a great lunch crowd because it provides great value at lunch due to its low price specials however value alone can not sustain its third star. What good is value if the food is not up to par? Now La Pesca has a pretty decent ceviche. It's got zing, freshness and if you top it with their cilantro ranch and chulula hot sauce you got something special. Sadly, that's where the good ends. And frankly the value ends there as well. Me and a friend ordered the tacos de camarones especial. (Shrimp tacos). An order of these tacos consist of 3 flour or corn tortilla tacos filled with your choice of chopped grilled or fried shrimp, white cheese, grilled onions and cilantro. And a small side of Veracruz style white rice. The tacos while sounding delicious look sad as they are inconsistently filled. One Taco had barely any shrimp and was basically a quesadilla with grilled onions. The other slightly more but still very little shrimp. The third had more and one could taste shrimp but it's obvious the kitchen is skimping on the shrimp. For $12 dollars a plate I would expect each taco to be generously filled especially if you're chopping up the shrimp. Another friend ordered caldo de camarones (shrimp soup). I can't comment on it but he didn't finish it and it looked a bit oily. And still another friend ordered the Jumbo Shrimp plate. It came loaded with 6-7 jumbo fried shrimp. These were pretty tasty. However, at over $24 it was not a good value and seriously over priced. For about $20 one could order an entire seafood botana at Dirty Al's with way better shrimp. Just an outrageous price for shrimp of that quality. Overall, La Pesca is ok. The ceviche is still a winner and if you go and just have that you won't be disappointed. However, I can't recommend a whole lot else. But hey go and judge for yourself.
