Love their dips and flat bread: goat cheese with cooked garlic, eggplant and artichoke spreads or dips. Pizzas on flat breads: fajitas! They have many others to choose from. Flatbread sandwiches come in different flavors also. And salads of a variety! BLUE ONION also serves alcoholic and non alcoholic beverages. Great & polite service! Calm place for dinner with my family! read more

Great food, nice flavors, good portions and at an affordable price. Our service was good. Went for lunch and food took a little while to come out but so worth the wait. We had artichoke dip, hummus w Roasted garlic and shared a fajita salad. Flat bread was delicious too read more

Update: came again, artichoke dip is amazing, flatbreads are tasty, the entrees are good, but the service is really really good. The servers are just as attentive and nice as last time. 10/10 service! read more

Tried this place out for the first time right before Christmas and I have already been back twice. The service is great and the food is AMAZING. Their pizza's are delicious! Something in the way that the ingredients are equally portioned. My husband has the calzone and said this is the first time he has had a really great tasting calzone in the Valley. Don't be fooled by the generic looking establishment, what it lacks in curb appeal (not their fault) it truly makes us in the quality of food, service and price. Highly recommend this place. Will be returning again and again in 2024 to try other items on the menu. read more

Great staff and amazing food. Bee going there for family dinners since I was a kid, 2000s. Also interesting art!

I ordered the dip sampler to go and added marinated cucumbers for $1.75. There were only 3 pieces of cucumber. What a ripoff.

I just love this place and always a solid choice! We ate an amazing lunch that was filling and a great portion! Do yourself a favor and get the fiat cheese and garlic dip as a starter. I would bathe in this stuff if I could!! read more

Can't express how much I love this place! Always consistent.Food is fresh, tasty and quite honestly one of the best spots in the RGV. In the mood for Mediterranean, Mexican fusion this is the spot. Try the gyro and their salads always hit the spot. In house made dressings ask for the balsamic won't disappoint. To start off try the trio dip read more

Food is always fresh. Cooking as you order. The artichoke dip with the flat bread is so good. Enjoyed the environment. Very family oriented

I been a customer at Blue Onion for multiple years. Their service is very good and they have many a variety of salad, po' boy and flat bread wrap combinations. My go to order is the Chicken Al Pastor Po' Boy with Salad. I really like the combination with oven roasted garlic. This dish always hits the spot. read more

Great calzone and super friendly staff!!! Owner came by and visited with me after I finished eating to make sure all was good.

Salads are always fresh and I love the addition of sunflower seeds. I always get the shroom pizza.

The food and service was fantastic ! Good selection of craft beer as well! Had the "standard" pizza, Native Texan beer and the flatbread appetizer with three dipping condiments was delicious . read more

After coming to this restaurant before I'm disappointed with the food. We ordered the chicken tortilla soup and Al pastor pizza. The tortilla soup tasted nothing like a tortilla soup, more like a tomato beef broth with chicken oh and no tortillas. Different would be ok if the soup actually tasted good. The pizza was actually sent to the table without cheese? Was told this pizza didn't have cheese so I had to send it back to have some mozzarella melted on top. Unfortunately we won't be back, nothing special here. read more

I love blue onion salads. They have daily bowls. They serve fresh pizza. Homemade hummus, several flavors and flat bread.

Locally owned and wonderful restaurant here in McAllen. Food is for the most part homemade and you can leave off things you don't care for I do recommend this restaurant. read more

The food was delicious and the service was amazing! We will absolutely be returning! Get the goat cheese and garlic appetizer, it was unreal good!! read more

Not a huge menu but the dips and hummus are great. So is their naan. My parents like the calzones because of the bread. Totally recommend for a lighter lunch. read more

You had me at thin crust and "mini pizza" (like the size of a dessert plate). So salad and mini-pizza was the perfect lunch portion for me. I ordered the San Franciscan as I always love a good sausage, roasted garlic and fresh basil on my pizza and this particular one had it all... Menu is well varied with pizzas, calzones, flatbreads and dips. Mention that it's your first time, and you may get a free dessert....I did ! Btw, Sally, my waitstaff was one of the best...she is a role model for customer service! read more

I really like this place- always seems fresh and they have different specials which keeps us going back for more! My hubby loves it!

This place is located in a freestanding building in a shopping center. It was freezing in there, so beware and take a jacket. There is a nice variety of pizza, flat breads, salads, and items you can get as a sandwich or a wrap. My coworker and I each ordered a wrap. I got the portobello and garlic wrap with tomato, lettuce, and a chipotle mayo and she got the fajita pastor wrap with salsa. They both came on freshly made flatbread with a side of black bean salad and a side of vinegar coleslaw. The food was very good. The mayo was very light and I almost didn't realize that it was there. The plates were large and neither of us was able to finish our meals. It was tasty and someplace I would recommend to someone in the area. The only issue was parking. It's in a busy shopping center, so parking was an issue. read more

The Blue Onion - Flatbread and sides - Sandwiches Near Me - McAllen, Texas

I loved when The Blue Onion first opened, it was a great little spot to eat wonderfully in a great casual environment and service was great. Service is still great but lately the food has been hit or miss. I only blame that on the restaurant being so popular and sometimes feeling rushed because people are waiting for a table standing. Price wise, they have never been on the $ scale, but the portions were worth it. Take out is just as delicious. read more

Food is great but I would challenge them to smile a bit more. They seemed that they don't wanna be there! Excellent gyros

I ordered a pecan smoked turkey salad. There was no turkey. The dressing was homemade and tasty. The 30 to 45 minutes delivery time turn into an hour and 45 minutes. read more

I love it here. The salads are phenomenal. They give you so much, that really a small salad is the size of a what a dinner salad usually is. The hummus is great, the dips are fantastic. The pita bread is amazing. The pizzas are good. The sides are great! The interior could use a good cleaning and an update, but everything else is awesome. read more

Excellent Gyro ... best I've tasted and so far there's nothing on the menu I don't like. Service is always prompt and courteous. The place is always comfortable and prices are fair. read more

YUM O!! I got the gyro and feta salad with a side of baba ganoush. My only regret is that I couldn't eat the whole thing! My friend got the sausage and chicken gumbo, and loved it. This food is delicious!! read more

Excellent food and service... waitresses are attentive to details like condiments... Wraps are to die for

The Fajita salad is AMAZING!!! I also like the optional 3 dip platter. The artichoke is delicious! When I am supper hungry, I order the po boy (fajita) it fills me up and hits the spot all theeeeee time! read more

One of my favorite places to eat, the real McCoy of restaurants. Ironically there is also a server there named McCoy lol

LOVE LOVE LOVE. All of their flatbreads are handmade and fresh. You must get an appetizer sampler & try some of their delicious dips. I wouldn't suggest getting the oven roasted garlic & olive oil if you plan on kissing someone later that night (unless they're eating it too, haha) but the chèvre goat cheese & roasted garlic and the artichoke heart dip are my absolute favorites. Both are creamy and spreadable on the addictive flatbread. Whether you get a hearty salad with a homemade dressing or hand tossed pizza, you won't be disappointed with the freshness and quality of the food. My favorite thing on the menu (besides the flatbreads & dip of course) is the Fajita Al Pastor Wrap. Imagine this big warm piece of flatbread wrapped around perfectly cooked fajita meat, onions, cilantro, avocado & chipotle salsa (full of flavor, not too spicy) accompanied with two sides. Black beans & marinated cucumbers are my favorites! Most of their po'boys, pizzas, salads & wraps can be made vegetarian (substituting meat for grilled veggies) which is nice. The service isn't always the best. Sometimes our waitress is super attentive and friendly and sometimes I go through my entire meal without her coming to check on me or refill my water. I'll go ahead and say it again, this place is fresshhhhhhhh, so fresh... almost as fresh as the Fresh Prince of Bel-Air. read more

I don't like Hummus, but I love it at Blue Onion. Goat cheese? Usually not, but the Blue Onion makes it work great. Artichoke dip... Forget about that stuff they microwave at Applebee's. Blue Onion has the real thing. My advice is to try a sampler of those three great tastes. Then, even though you really won't be hungry anymore, eat a San Franciscan pizza. read more

My go-to restaurant for lunch, sometimes it gets packed but service is fast yet the food remains great. They have really good lunch specials, I always get the salad with balsamic vinaigrette (with no flower seeds) and half a sandwich. Tip: Roasted red pepper sauce, hummus, and artichoke heart dip are great as an appetizer. They all come with pita bread. read more

The Blue Onion - Grilled chicken salad with balsamic vinaigrette - Sandwiches Near Me - McAllen, Texas

This place is awesome! I'm not really into this type of food (wraps/pizzas/salads) but if you are, this place is a "must try"! The flat bread is awesome. The soup I had was like this beef stew (Friday special). It was the best french onion soup I ever had! Yes is was both a french onion soup and a beef stew. The waitress said that the most popular dishes are the al pastor and the gyro wrap. I tried the gyro and it was off the chain. Had semi raw onions In it. Non onion eaters beware. Prices were fair. About $10 a wrap dish. Came with cole slaw, bean salad, and a cucumber dressing in side. read more

Picked up take out a few nights ago forgot to update. I had a dinner salad a Gyro Mac salad and potato salad my partner had a shroom pizza. I didn't give the extra star because my Gyro was very skimped out on the meat and I requested no artichoke on pizza for my partner and it still had them. We'll def be back soon I will just request my gyro have a little more love inside. read more

Always a go to for the family loves this place even the kids. Eat here or order take out at least once a week. Usually packed for lunch.

Seriously yummy food! The location might surprise you because it's a small place inside a strip mall, but please don't let that put you off. Went with some workmates because we were in town on business and several of the locals had said this was a great place to eat. We started with their dip sampler which came with 2 flatbreads to share which was plenty between 4 people (no extras required), and we really enjoyed the roasted garlic & olive oil spread and the goat cheese/roasted garlic spread. We made sure breath mints were available so we didn't have to eat our main courses in silence! We also got the barbecued shrimp dip, but it was basically shrimp in a cajuny-flavored water which was not something that was really "dipable" with the flatbreads. Tasty, but not a good choice for a dip. On to the main courses! We had heard great things about the pizza and I have to tell you that as someone who can't eat tomatoes I was super excited to see something as unique as their Colorado pizza. Roasted red bell pepper sauce instead of tomato sauce, combined with goat cheese and chicken was awesome!! We heard lots of ooh'ing and aah'ing from those that had the traditional pepperoni pizza and the "shroom" pizza was loved by our veggie loving workmate. Overall, service was alright (staff is very young and not experienced as waiters we could tell) but the food more than made up for it. You will love almost anything you get! read more
