El Itacate is one of my favorite places in the RGV for Mexican and Salvadoran food. There are…read moremultiple locations. This one is in a small shopping center next to Sam's Club on the NW corner of 10th and Trenton. The facilities are still relatively new, everything looks clean. They have a nice dining room but also offer take-out. They are only open for breakfast and lunch, closing at 3:30 PM. Their menu has a good variety of breakfasts, from chilaquiles, omelets, classics like huevos rancheros, huevos divorciados, huevos a la mexicana, norteño breakfast of machacado (dried beef) and eggs, molletes, pancakes, and more. Their lunch offerings include a variety of salvadoran pupusas, caldo Tlalpeño, the jaliciense carne en su jugo; skillets of chicharrón pensado en salsa, frijoles con "veneno" (chorizo), melted cheese; various tacos from flautas, tacos and la plancha, tacos Llorarás (jalapeño relleno and birria), gorditas, enchiladas, and more. They also have a children's menu. They often have promotional specialty items like tortas de chilaquiles or tortas ahogadas which I have yet to try because I keep ordering the incredible tacos Llorarás. The service has always been exceptional whenever I have gone. Their staff is friendly and efficient. Place your order at the counter and pay up front (there is a jar for tips), and they bring your food to your table. Their drinks range from bottled soda (no soda fountain) to aguas frescas: Jamaica or a refreshing limonada with cucumber. The dining room has half booths (padded bench along one wall, chairs on the other side of the table, or standard tables and chairs. This makes it easy to accommodate wheelchairs if needed. Prices are a bit higher than a burger fast food place, but less than a chain sit-down restaurant. For the food quality you get it's a great price. They have plenty of parking, and restrooms (his and hers) are clean and well maintained. My only complaint is I wish they could extend their hours and offer dinner as well!

I had an issue with my bill, and Ivan, the manager, handled it promptly and professionally.

Their tacos are pretty darn good and filling. Prices are good considering the size of each taco. They don't skimp on the fish nor the tasty slaw toppings. The green aguachile tostada was also pretty good. The fish and shrimp could have been cooked in the lime juice longer, but it was still tasty. Oh, we forgot to ask them to make the aguachile spicy and we seemed to have gotten mild by default. We went late in the day so we were the only customers. The lady behind the counter was friendly and fast with our food considering everything is made to order with fresh fish. Same for the aguachiles. I guess you can expect a little of a wait if you come when busy and especially if they only have one employee cooking and taking orders. We liked the food very much and will be back when craving fish tacos again.

Los totopos vienen de diferentes sabores and my favorite is the nopal. They add so much flavor and make the whole dish feel special y bien pensado. They have a great variety of guisos and I had the chicharrón prensado con salsa verde. Buenísimo. The salsas you can choose from are all so so good. De verdad todas están riquísimas. My advice is go with your favorite color porque no hay pierde. You can add as much salsa as you want and every option hits. On the weekends they also have menudo bien riquísimo. De ese que sabe a casa y a domingo en la mañana. My daughters tried the breakfast tacos and they loved them. The flour tortillas are handmade y se nota. You can build different breakfast tacos and they even have one with salchichas just like you would make at home. We also tried the little pancakes and wow. It is a whole treat. Soft warm and comforting. Do not skip the arroz con leche. Tiene sabor a piloncillo and it is súper cremoso. Perfect way to end the meal.

The food is prepared and ready to be plated. The girl at the counter was very nice and explained to us the menu as well as gave suggestions. My husband got a fajita taco and a chicharrón prensado gordita good flavor, nothing wow. I got the chilaquiles box as you may already know I luv trying chilaquiles. I got the chicharrón prensado verde with the Suiza sauce. Good flavor BUT IMO it's missing the egg. In all the places I have ordered chilaquiles egg is an option. I felt with what I ordered I was just eating totopos ( chips) with salsa nothing else. The concept is good but missing the extras. The chilaquiles was less than half the box and for that I paid almost $11. If you see the picture the chilaquiles were below the white letters where it says chilaquiles. Honestly I would rather go elsewhere for chilaquiles.

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.
