Before the entrees came we got a complimentary broth in a cup and chips and salsa. The bill came out to $36 and we thought it was a great deal for the amount of food we got. The menu was all in Spanish and our waitress only spoke Spanish. That wasn't a problem for me, but if you don't speak/read Spanish then definitely bring a friend that does.

They started off with complimentary chips and two dips, a thin warm bean dip which was good and a light green one cold that, while we could not figure out what it was, was absolutely delicious. The only legative was that the calamari was a bit over breaded and overcooked. We will likely be back while we're in the area for another 5 wks.

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.

They gave us better sitting they had a in closed patio with A/C that was great. The restaurant is pretty and elegant. The entrance has a nice photo op background for pictures and a beautiful chandelier. Full of vibrant colors though out with comfy tables and chairs. Service was great host sat us quickly. Server was nice knew what he was asked and if he didn't know he said, he could go ask. Made sure we had everything we needed. Food the cheese enchilada , beef enchiladas , beef taco, burrito, beef tostada, and all sides with drinks were good. The breakfast tacos were good only thing with it was their were to many fries I got corn tortillas so I know they are smaller. But even if I got flour still want less fries. The only bad thing was their chicken flauta. It was dry and chicken had no flavor. It had a nice crunch, Maybe pan fry them in oil with some fat and add more seasoning to the chicken. Overall great place to stop next time we are in McAllen. Ps. Y'all have a nice restroom, shiny clean, smells great, but one of the toilet stalls is crazy small and the door swings in and almost hits the toilet. Saw a guy struggling to get out hahaha maybe have the door swings out.

I love coming to Umiya for their lunch special whenever I have the day off. Their all-you-can-eat…read moreoption is a great value at $20 and most of the sushi tastes fresh. Just be aware that the lunch special does not include the sashimi/nigiri options. The interior has great lighting and it is very lively. It's not too noisy and there's plenty of parking around the corner as well. My main complaint about Umiya is that the service here is hit or miss. Sometimes I would get a waiter/waitress who would constantly check-up on me and ask about what I wanted to order. Other times, the waiter/waitress would rarely come by my table to take my order. If there could be some more consistency in the service, then that would greatly enhance the customer all-you-can-eat experience. In regards to the food, I highly recommend getting a cup of their miso soup since it's not too salty and has a good amount of tofu and seaweed. It has a good balance of savoriness. I highly recommend trying their rainbow roll, yummy roll, and shaggy dog roll too. The rolls are made to order and they have always come out fresh during my visits. I haven't had a bad tasting roll Don't forget to get some ice cream too for dessert because their green tea ice cream has a nice natural earthy tone to its flavor profile.

This place didn't disappoint even for someone who normally doesn't eat sushi all the time. The waiter was very helpful in ordering. The ambiance was small place with music playing in background. The most comfortable chairs at the table, especially for a large person. We tried the rice dish with beef, chicken and shrimp, fantastic! We tried the spicy noodle dish and that had a different flavor, which was great! We also tried two different rolls and that too was good. Then we finished off with a brownie platter dessert that our granddaughter destroyed because it was so good. We will definitely come back.

We started with the gyozas, which were really good. He got the dragon roll and I ordered the sexy roll. Both were tasty, but I especially loved the tempura crumbs on top of mine they added the perfect crunch and flavor. A few weeks later, I went back with my mom. We ordered the gyozas again, plus spicy edamame, fried rice, and of course, I had to get the sexy roll again. Most of the food was great, but unfortunately, the roll didn't live up to the first visit. It didn't seem as fresh, and the tempura crumbs were a bit stale this time. Overall, still a nice spot, but hoping for more consistency next time!
