If it were busy I get it but when there is only 2 tables in the restaurant come on. Yet when the men in suits walk in they waited not even a minute and had thier menus at the table. I hadn't even finished my food when she was asking if we wanted the tab already. I should have asked if she was kicking us out already. My husband felt like we were being judged and treated like we didnt have money. Then when she brings us our change she is standing there waiting for the tip. I am a server myself and never treat guest based on how they are dressed and much less wait for a tip.

This is a review of my experience at Oak on South 10th on 12-4-25 at 6:00PM…read more Honestly, there isn't much to review. Staff didn't even acknowledge me or take my order in the 20 minutes I was there waiting at the bar. The place wasn't busy, there were maybe 3 other pairs of people at the bar and 2 tables taken up. It was 6 PM on a Thursday so the place was close to empty. The bartender was too busy talking to the barback and didn't even take my order. In that time, he checked on other customers at the bar then returned to his conversation with his coworker. It's never good for a bartender to do the rounds and ignore a client that hasn't yet been served ESPECIALLY on a slow night. This type of treatment can make a client feel profiled or discriminated against. Nothing else to say about this, never going back and I'll gladly recommend other places to people looking for a GOOD bar in McAllen.

The ambience at night was even more warm and magical with live music and the intimate lighting. The paella is much bigger than it looks like in the picture, it was shared by 3 of us so it's the perfect family-style meal! It came in this beautiful shell-like plate. There was plenty of seafood inside and the rice was well seasoned. My friend who has visited Spain said this was very authentic. We also ordered a chocolate cake for my friend's birthday and they came out to us singing in celebration. It was a sweet gesture and made our night! Of course, the cake was decadent as well :) I will definitely have to come back.

GREAT LITTLE PLACE! Overall first impressions....it was a…read morelittle hard to find the front door. We parked in the back and walked through the back patio and were escorted by a very friendly server who knew the history of the building (impressed). She led us to the front door. Then we had to climb some very steep stairs. For the average individual it wasn't bad. But we had two seniors with us that found the steps challenging. Once inside we were greeted by the hostess and a very not so good odor (we almost walked out, it smelled musty and very old, our thoughts were the bathrooms. These need to be renovated badly). But once you get into the dining room there was no more smell. Tino was our server for the evening he did an amazing job. We ordered classic pasta (honestly it had good flavor but the sauce was very watery), the Duck (that was very good), and the Prime Rib (that was huge, that would be perfect for two people). We finished dinner and proceeded to go outside to the patio (mind you this is in January, when the weather is perfect for sitting el fresco) and had dessert. We ordered the Banana's Foster (Santana did an excellent performance, best part of the dessert) or Platanos Cajeta (huge difference) and the Flan. They were both good. This was a Saturday night and they had a duet playing acoustic guitar music (this helped top off the evening). We ended up spending a good amount of time here and enjoyed each other's company in a very nice atmosphere. Will definitely be revisiting.

She even remembered to bring us sweeteners for our teas without us having to ask, which was a nice touch. The food was really good all around. My wife is pretty particular about her shrimp, and she absolutely loved hers -- the kids enjoyed their seafood too. The red beans and rice had a flavor similar to Popeyes (which I love), and the portions were generous. My blackened catfish was about a 7/10 -- a little pricey at around $20 but comparable to other places, however, there was a ton of food; I didn't even finish half. The buffalo chicken nachos were tasty too. Oh almost forgot, tried the Beignet Bites based on some other reviews and they were awesome! The restaurant and bathrooms were clean, and while it was a bit loud, expected for a sports bar atmosphere (bonus great for kids they're not bothering anyone haha). The teas were on the higher side at about $8 for two, but you do get to keep the sturdy plastic cups, which was an added bonus. Overall, great service, good food, and a fun atmosphere -- we'll definitely be back!

I came to Ojos Locos specifically to watch the soccer World Cup qualifying games, I was excited to…read morewatch Argentina, Brazil, Columbia, Uruguay and the other Nations play, after seeing them advertised on Ojos Locos social media. Unfortunately, this was one of the most frustrating and disappointing experiences I've had at a sports bar. When game time came, none of the matches were on. I asked multiple waitresses if they could put the games on, and each time I was told "yes," but nothing ever happened. Eventually, I went to the manager, explained the situation, and asked if the games could be put on and if Argentinas game could be put on the big screen by where I was sitting. She agreed, but instead of honoring that, she only put one of the games on a small TV, while leaving women's tennis, something no one was watching,on the big screen. When I asked again if the soccer game could go on the big screen, she reluctantly switched it but made it clear they'd change it to football when it started. I even asked if the soccer game could stay on any of the other smaller TVs when the football game started, but she flat-out refused, despite there being over 30 TVs in the place. To make things worse, she switched off the soccer game after 10 minutes on the big screen for football 30 minutes before the football game even started. The entire interaction came off as rude, dismissive, and unprofessional. It felt like the manager was being petty and deliberately difficult rather than accommodating a simple and reasonable request, especially considering the games were advertised. If you're a soccer fan, don't expect Ojos Locos to follow through on what they promote. Between the false advertising, lack of communication, and poor attitude from management, this was a really disappointing experience. I immediately left and went elsewhere to watch the games.
