What a gem on the much-neglected south side!…read more Cool little Mexican health-conscious shop with a variety of frozen yogurts, granola, grilled chicken tacos and freshly-cut fruit cups. You can't pick a bad thing in this place. They have a limited menu, but do everything exceedingly well. One of the very few places down here that makes fresh vegetable juices. Order this: Fresh jugo de zanahoria, manzana and uva Taco pirata with extra salsa Frozen yogurt with granola, mixed berries and honey Best for breakfast, lunch and afternoon snacks. Go!

Very good jugos and yogurts!!!! Also the taco light with the green salsa is very good!!!!read more

Great menu of snacks here. The corn salads is compliments the elote well. They have large selection…read moreof Aguas Fresca. Traditional elote served here which means they use a bland version of corn that resembles hominy. Still good just have the right expectations. Also, they have what seems like COVID protocols. No one allowed inside but they come to your car. Great service actually.

I tried the Barda torta, which was good but had too much ham. The choripan torta had too much of the meat. The chorizo tasted more like sausage. Overall would come back here to try different items.

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...

So even though the…read morelocation isn't in the middle of McAllen, it gets pretty full especially when there's a cold front lol Compared to other bakeries, I noticed the bread lasts longer which means even after you buy it, the bread remains soft after a couple of days. This is a mom and pops bakery so don't expect to see something luxurious. Conchas are 3 for $.99 and empanadas are 5 for $1 which is pretty beso despite that the bread is really good. You can also find Mexican sodas in a bottle, milk, cheese, and barbacoa.

The girl at the counter was nice and patient while inoggled over the pastries haha. Beyond pastries they serve a variety of quesadillas and Chilaquiles for something more hearty. We got the huevos Chilaquiles and it was so tasty. Food came out fast and looked fresh. The black beans were creamy and not too salty, the salsa thick and flavorful, the egg cooked perfectly , and the chips crunchy and soft depending on their smothered status. The coffee tastes good too and they offer fresh milk to add to it. The space is super cute and beautifully decorated. Lots of seating and nice music played overhead. They have live saxophone music every Friday. Such a cool and lovely and delicious place.

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

Excellent food. Good service. Menu is interesting and diverse. A nice little brunch place.read more
