    Poke Burrito
    Rohit G.

    Delicious fresh option for food in the Valley. I came on a weekday for lunch and the place was busy, but not a long wait in line. ATMOSPHERE: The place has a nice, clean, new feel to it. Wood interior and tables make for a great dining experience. I was able to comfortably have a conversation with my friend while eating there. FOOD: I got a chicken and shrimp "poke" burrito. It was delicious. I really like how you are able to put essentially everything you want in the burrito to make it exactly how you like it, and there are a TON of options for mix-ins. Everything tasted fresh, and the burrito was not too heavy. I also liked how there was only a thin layer of rice so as to not overpower all the other flavors. SERVICE: Everyone was kind and prompt. They assemble your food in front of you so there is no wait (unless there is a line to order). PRICE/VALUE: Reasonable price for a full, hearty meal. My two-protein burrito was around $12. Overall, although there are a lot of Asian food options in the area, Pokeworks stands out as fresh, customizable, and delicious, and I'm glad they came to McAllen!

    Everything tasted fresh and I love that you can add more veggies to your signature bowl. I ordered the tofu bowl with brown rice and it was so filling. The seaweed salad was bomb and the avocado gives the whole thing a buttery texture. I topped it off by adding all the crunchies and I was in texture heaven. My mom loved the miso soup that comes with the combo. Check this place out if you want something fresh and delicious!

    Great quick and healthy lunch which is hard to find in the vally. Staff was fast and the value of the positions was spot on.

    Poke Rice Bowls. One with spicy tuna/spicy salmon and one with plain tuna/plain salmon and all the vegetables!

    I had only had take out from out local Pokeworks but today we tried dine in. I'm so glad we did. The service was great, our preparer was so patient and knowledgeable. My husband and I became obsessed with Poke after a trip to Hawaii, and we do like it. Our rice bowls were enormous, one can easily feed 2 hungry people and the protein servings were not skimpy either. EVERYTHING was fresh and delicious, and it can easily be the ONE meal of the day. I highly recommended it. The establishment was extremely clean and so was the restroom. Major plus, we went at an off hour for lunch and we had the place to ourselves with the A/C perfectly cool. We did people watch as many people do go for take out!! I highly recommended it and it's perfectly located on North 10th Street in McAllen.

    When I first heard this place opened, I was excited. I love rice bowls and if any opportunity comes around where I can eat a great tasting one, I'll take it. I came an hour before closing time, because I was in the area. I haven't really heard anything about the restaurant other than it was open, so I was curious about how they operated. This venue is a "customize-your-own-food" type of restaurant. There are options to get a specifically made bowl, but I chose to make my own due to the excitement. The server was very nice and was very open about what his preferences were when it came to customization. He also gave me advice on the how I wanted it to taste like based on my taste palette and what I preferred. He also let me know that there was a promotion going on, if you download the app, you could get $5 off your next order for pick up. The restaurant was very clean. Prior to going in, they were cleaning, and clean about every 30 minutes or so. After the incredible service, I decided to dig into my bowl. It was one of the best tasting food places I've tasted in a while, since visiting back to the valley. You get what you pay for! The rice was still super hot, even though I ate it 30 minutes after arriving at the restaurant. I ordered fresh lemonade on the side and it is by far really good lemonade- not too sweet, not too sour. I definitely recommend this place to anyone who wants to indulge in healthy eating, or has a rice bowl addiction like me. A great recommendation who's in the area!

    Love pokeworks. Word of advice: order in person. It tastes so much better when you eat it freshly made.

    The poke bowl was as good or better than any place I've ever been to, and I've eaten many bowls in Austin, Dallas, and California

    A Hidden Gem for Mexican Seafood -- Don't Sleep on This Place!…read more As a traveler from California in town for a swim meet, I was on the hunt for good Mexican seafood and stumbled upon La Costa Grill. Based on the reviews, I had decent expectations -- but this place blew them out of the water. The ratings honestly don't do it justice. From the moment we walked in, the hospitality was warm and genuine. We were greeted by the hostess and seated right away, even during the lunch rush. Then came a wonderful surprise: our server brought out a mini skillet of the most incredible black refried beans for dipping, alongside four salsas ranging from mild to hot, all served with tostadas -- compliments of the house. Back in California, you're lucky to get one salsa, let alone refried beans as a free starter. It immediately set the tone for the meal. Our server was knowledgeable and genuinely helpful with recommendations. We ended up sharing a lunch portion of paella, an octopus taco, and a fish ceviche tostada -- and every single dish delivered. The octopus taco was a standout; served over a layer of refried beans, it was a flavor combination I didn't know I needed. The ceviche tostada was fresh and bright, and the paella was satisfying and well-seasoned. I also have to give our server extra credit for her transparency -- she mentioned upfront that the paella leans heavier on rice than seafood. That kind of honesty is rare and really appreciated. We ordered it anyway, and we were glad we did. If you're visiting McAllen and want authentic, flavorful Mexican seafood with outstanding service and hospitality, La Costa Grill needs to be on your list. I'll absolutely be returning before I head back home.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

    The service was amazing and that is because we were apart of a large party…read more The appetizer (which I forgot to take picture of) were really good. We started off with the Dirty Sampler: 1. Shrimp stuffed Jalapeño (2): they were huge and tasted really good. 2. Fried Mushrooms: they were nicely friend with grated Parmesan on top. 3. Popcorn shrimp: this is like any popcorn shrimp you have had at any restaurant. It was good. Then ordered a stuffed crab. (My mom had this and it's her favorite app. Finally we ordered oysters Rockefeller which are always great. For our main meals: Two of us (including myself) had the Red Snapper Rockefeller which was the best thing I've had in a while. There three cheese sauce is something out of this world. The other two individuals had the Kings Stuffed Flounder. They both very much enjoyed it and it came with the same three cheese sauce as well. The fried potatoes were nice and crispy and paired well with the three cheese sauce. The corn was perfectly seasoned. Can't wait to go back again.
