So I gave the Vagoncito Chilango in McAllen 2 stars...this place deserves just 1. I usually take…read morepics of my meal...but nothing to highlight here, sorry! I went for lunch and had a regular hamburger with french fries and a soda (can) for near $11. I don't mind paying for an $11 burger...but give me some quality meat folks. I will be honest...it felt like the low-grade quality patty available at stores that has heart mixed into it. It had a really soft texture to it...and no flavor to it. The buns were barely toasted... They give you the condiments so you can dress the burger yourself...but the bottles have no tops to them. On my ketchup bottle, on the tip, there was a dried up seed from who knows what. I can say I added plenty of ketchup, mustard, and mayonnaise to my burger...but none of those flavors came through. On the bright side...they gave me a side of beans even though I ordered a burger. The beans were tasty...and the fries were crisp and piping hot. But every time I poured ketchup on them, the dried up seed on the bottle kept staring at me. As far as service...I was the only one there during that time. The waitress took my order... brought out my food...and see you later. She was replaced with another one, and the new one didn't even bother to check on me. I don't mind paying $11 for a nice juicy burger...but it's definitely not here.

For the price of the tacos , it was not worth the drive. The tacos lacked flavor we ordered the…read morealambre plate that was supposed to make about 8-10 tacos. We had more onion and bell pepper than what you want on your tacos. The papa was your average, nothing special nothing great. Our total was $35dlls for two people !! Honestly for tacos that's a lot. Ohhh and if you decide to go, make sure to say no to the beans that they " offer" when you are about to sit down. Those are not complimentary and they don't tell you that they will be charged until you get the bill. You are talking about a small little cup of beans for about $2. And they aren't that great. If you want to use the restroom, make sure to take someone with you. The restrooms are outside way in the back of the restaurant where it is dark and shady.

Really, really well done…read more We don't expect much from food services that are located in tourist areas. People are there for fun, but then get hungry, trapped because of the location, and tossing out value based choices because you can't fight 'h'anger with an explanation of 'it's so expensive'. So when we were planning for a day at Coco Cay, the private island owned by Royal Caribbean Cruise Lines, I wanted to use the complementary food services that the island provided, even if it meant standing in line and getting sub-standard 'free' food...if it meant more time at the beach. South Beach Coco Cay is where we ended up staying after snagging a couple of front row loungers (front meaning unobstructed views of the ocean). The Snack Shack in South Beach opened at 10;30, and I stopped in around 10:50, expecting it to be still very crowded. Surprisingly it wasn't...it had 4 lines going at once, and each line was no more than 4 bodies deep. Because the menu is very limited and all pre-made (and because there is no payment involved), the lines go by very, very fast. For my first round, I got a chicken sandwich, fries, and mozzarella stix. The sandwich was a real chicken breast (not processed meat), and was very crispy and still very hot. The fries were thick, nicely crisp. The stix were very crunchy and hot, using that not so good cheese that is more dense than stringy, coming with a decent marinara sauce. What makes this so good is that there is a clean, fully stocked condiment and add-on bar where you can dress up your sandwiches anyway you want. I love this...nobody does this anymore because it is so messy and hard to keep stocked and clean...but here...I stopped by many times, and every time it was clean and stocked. The condiments included were (all Heintz products): Mayo, ketchup, mustard, relish, ranch, and bbq sauce. The toppings bar had sliced white onion, dill pickle chips, sliced red tomatoes, and chopped romaine lettuce. Finally, the other side of the bar had fresh fruit: sliced watermelon, sliced pineapples with skin still on, and cut cantelopes...all still chilled. For my chicken sandwich, I tried to add tomato, lettuce and mayo right there, and it did get messy (as well causing slowness for the folks behind me). So my second round, 4 hours later, I made myself a backyard cheeseburger. The cheeseburger was again in a waxed sleeve, not great to put toppings on. So this time, I just got a small plate and put my toppings (including a mixture of ketchup and mayo) on it to-go. I then assembled my sandwich in the comfort of my chair, not holding anybody up. The bun had been toasted, then cheese melted, and the ground beef wasn't so dense or too finely ground. It was a really good burger. Throughout our stay, I would go up to get fresh watermelon and ice water for us....and at no time did it get too crowded....and everytime the area was clean and tidy. Munching on fresh watermelon as the juice dribbles down your mouth as you look out into the ocean, not caring about the mess since you will wash off it in the ocean anyway...that's what I call enjoying life. Drinks are good too...no soda, but had a juice machine with lemon-lime, mango, strawberry kiwi, and water)..and a nearby ice machine giving out crushed ice. One more thing: gulls are very prevalent here, and they have learned how to get food. They come in waves together, any food left out will get stolen and they seemed to 'attack' the umbrella next to ours more than the others. And our umbrella was covered in droppings by the end of the day...definitely important to have something overhead. It truly was food for a picnic at the beach...and it's very true: it just tasted so much damn better because of where you were. But isn't that the point?

This was my third visit to this BBQ joint we discovered earlier in 2025. I've eaten their brisket…read morepreviously and it is outstanding. It's the best I've eaten here in the RGV and coming in a close second to City Market in Luling, TX. It's that good! This visit I decided to try their Three Brisket Combo meal. It comes with three brisket tacos (corn or flour tortillas) loaded with brisket, a couple grilled jalapeño slices, grilled onions and some cilantro. They didn't need salsa but a squeeze of lime might've been helpful. The side I chose was their house made coleslaw which was pretty tasty. I ordered their green beans with onion and bacon but a few minutes after ordering a fellow came out to tell me they were out of the beans so I settled for the slaw. I also ordered an order of their house cut, tallow fried french fries. Man, were they GOOD! As in THE BEST FRIES I'VE EVER EATEN IN MY LIFE GOOD!!! They are worth the visit all by themselves. The combo meal comes with a bottomless drink as well. The wife and I split the Combo meal, added the fries and a small side of potato salad that she wanted. We each ate one taco and about half of the sides. So we had a leftover taco, some fries and half our sides for the next day. All for like $21. The combo meal is $13.99 which is a pretty good deal in itself. The fries were like $6 and well worth the price. We will definitely be back. I would also highly recommend their 50/50 Rice and Beans topped with Brisket Bowl. That provided two meals for me when I ordered it previously. You can't go wrong at this little joint.

Excellent sausage, good brisket and good sides! Coleslaw, potato salad and creamed corn. We would…read morelike to return and try the chicken
