    Tampiqueña pollo plate
    Evelyn C.

    The chips and salsa were delicious and so was the food. I ordered the 'Tampiqueña de Pollo Plate', the portions were good and the food was tasty. The enchiladas were my favorite on the plate! Servers were attentive and answered the few questions I had without a problem. I'll definitely be coming back!

    "Our breakfast group, the "Traveling Taco," met on Saturday, March 9th to catch up with each other. There were 20 of us, and we all had a great time enjoying our breakfast and the excellent service provided. I would like to express my gratitude to Charlie for allowing us the opportunity to have a wonderful time at this awesome restaurant, MARIA'S MEXICAN RESTAURANT. We look forward to visiting again soon."

    Eggs, beans, potatoes, barbacoa and menudo.

    Went downtown today and decided to try something different. Got the special which was 10.00 for 2 eggs, beans, potatoes, barbacoa and 2 tortillas. The menudo was a small cup. Had no hominy in it. The taste was ok. The barbacoa was a very small serving. It tasted ok but nothing fantastic. Potatoes were hard and a little dry. Eggs were good. Service was good but the food was average at that.

    Migas a la Mexicana
    Efren S.

    Located in the Old Historic District of McAllen, Maria's is staple neighborhood family restaurant. My family in the area are regulars here so I stopped in to check it out for myself for breakfast. Prices are very reasonable and food quality is as good as home cooking, including the home made flour tortillas. I had the Migas a la Mexicana, which adds tomato, jalapenos, and onion to the corn tortilla and egg scramble. It is a local TexMex specialty that I crave in Los Angeles. Well, I got my fix and will return for more. Highly recommended. I'm sure you will find your favorite menu item.

    Brunch with my honey...

    Everything is good here. Most of the wait staff is very good and friendly. More than anything I love the enchiladas here...Mexicanas or Americanas.

    Mole plate. It's a little bit spicy and not too sweet.

    The best little hole in the wall restaurant downtown McAllen. The food is homemade. The mole plate was awesome. Love that they gave cold Mexican cokes and sweet tea.

    Las salsitas
    Claudia P.

    Como estar en casa de la abuela, este lugar sirve auténticos platillos caseros. Todo desde la barbacoa hasta las hamburguesas es hecho con amor y a mano. Y a precios razonables. Mis padres y yo hemos ido a este lugar desde que era yo bebé y siempre salimos satisfechos. Hoy llevé a mi novio a desayunar y también le encantó. El cafecito siempre sabe recién hecho. Yo ordené el platillo especial que contiene barbacoa, una taza de menudo, huevos al gusto, frijoles y papitas (mis favoritas). Tiene de todo un poco y todo sabe riquísimo. Nada grasoso y aunque ya era un poco tarde el menudo no sabía recalentado. Mi novio pidió el desayuno de pan francés y le encantó. El pan estaba riquísimo. Las salsas que sirven para los totopos siempre han sido las mismas y son las mejores salsas que he probado en restaurantes mexicanos. Te lo juro. Una es fresca al estilo pico de gallo pero bien picadora y la otra es cocida. Tan ricas que te las puedes beber!! Salimos satisfechos con la comida y el precio que pagamos. Si eres del Valle y no has ido aquí, te lo has perdido. Corre y pruébalo. Te va ha encantar!!

    7/10 Flautas de papa 9/10 avocado chilaquiles…read more 7/10 chorizo chilaquiles 5/10 beans A coworker who works in the area recommended this place. I'm a huge migas fan and never thought to try chilaquiles. This place did not disappoint. I added eggs, chorizo and avocado with half green and half red sauce. I was surprised to get each adding in an individual stack. I managed to get my egg yolk over the avocado and chorizo. The food was really good, just not what I expected. The flautas de papa were a great buy. Instead of using a corn or flour tortilla to mop up my plate, I was able to use the flauta and with the papa in it, they were like little sponges soaking up all the leftovers

    El Itacate has some of my favorite Salvadoran and Mexican food. From pupusas to chilaquiles, to…read moretacos, delicious options for breakfasts, lunch and dinner, they won't disappoint. My favorite is the Tacos Llorarás (you will cry taco) which features a handmade corn tortillas stuffed with a chile relleno made of jalapeño and cream cheese, plus a flavorful beef birria. Add your garnish and salsa of choice, and if the heat of the chile doesn't make you cry, you will eventually cry if you cannot return soon. It's that good! Drinks are either Jamaica (aguas frescas style). This location is right across the road from the Sam's Club on South Jackson Road. There is additional parking in the back. Family friendly.
