Tienen especiales en la hora de lonche y su consomé esta lleno de trozos de pescado y camarones. Eso si, cuidado con la salsita de habanero que esa sí que pica. El servicio siempre ha sido excelente y si tienes suerte hasta hay mariachi en los fines de semana. Así que si te gustan los mariscos, ven y disfruta de un cóctel de camarones o unos filetes de pescado. No te vas a arrepentir. Y no te olvides de probar su limonada con pepino! Posdata: El domingo pasado mis padres fueron a disfrutar de unos especiales de lonche. Mi mamá, como siempre, no se acabó los 3 filetes que vienen con la orden pues se llenó con el caldo. Pidió una cajita para llevárselos pero se le olvidó llevársela y la dejó sobre la mesa. En rumbo a casa se dieron cuenta y regresaron al restaurante. Mi papá se bajó a preguntar por la caja y la mesera le informó que la acababa de tirar a la basura. Entendemos que no pueden guardar comida por horas, pero ellos regresaron en cuanto se dieron cuenta en el camino a casa (tampoco vivimos lejos de allí). Solamente lo incluyó como una sugerencia que por favor esperen un poquito antes de botar a la basura un contenedor para llevar por si el cliente regresa por la comida que ya pagó. Gracias.

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 ambience is elegant yet relaxed, making it easy to linger, and the service was top-notch--attentive, friendly, and perfectly timed.
