    Isabel and Kathrin.

    We miss Zamora's and our favorite server Isabel! For over 10 years they provided our Tex-Mex comfort food and drink.

    Botana platter
    Rubén L.

    Had my annual pilgrimage to the RGV and I couldn't resist the famous Botana platter. A heaping of beef fajitas on top of fresh made corn tortilla chips smothered with refried beans and gooey cheese, a side of guacamole and two corn quesadillas. Dayum! It hit the spot, but what made it special was the Valley's concoction of sweet tea, which I am still trying to figure out how it is made - very unique taste. Service was quick and friendly. I'd go back for second helpings. Buen provecho!

    Dry and hard pieces of chicken and beef fajitas with cold and hard cheese
    Melissa G.

    I ordered a botana for 2 along with other items and paid a total of $78 and change. The botana came with dry and hard pieces of chicken and beef fajitas. There was barely enough beans and cheese on the tortilla chips. It was cold. I was so disappointed because it looked like someone ordered it a day before but didn't pick it up so that's what they gave me. It's like the price increased but the quality of the food decreased. :(

    Had been here for breakfast never for lunch. Felt like having a home made caldo and to be honest made the right choice. The restaurant it self was very clean the staff very nice. When asked about suggestions the waiters was nice enough to recommend a lunch plate. I noticed that they have Saturday lunch specials which is rare to see at restaurants since specials are usually Monday- Friday. That was a plus!! So when you think about it Zamora's has special mon- sat. My husband had the fajita plates. As per my Husband good flavor, good quantity but would have liked less bell peppers and onions. I had the caldo de res, good portion very good flavor if you are looking to eat something that your mom would make this is it. The only thing I would change a bit was leave the meat a little bit longer cooking to be a bit soft, but that's just me. Price : very reasonable, our tab was about $21 which is not bad for the lunch we had. We are definitely going back and trying more of their food items

    Disappointing botana
    Brandon E.

    Disappointing botana to say the least, got home it was already cold (5 min drive). Fajitas were cold and tough, tortillas cold too, AND barely any cheese on the very STALE corn chips. Over 40$ and this was the result, called management for ANY remedy and was told there was none. Turned off from this place and lost our business for good.

    Simple, no-frills Tex Mex food. This is the place to be for breakfast. It can get quite busy on the weekends, so be prepared to wait. I typically order chilaquiles with chicken and eggs and a coffee. The dish is large and comes with beans and potatoes. Coffee is unlimited.

    Botana for 3 .
    Anabel C.

    Curb side delivery! Ordered the botana for 3 and it was a lot. Flour tortillas were delicious. Everything was very well made and delicious. My parents enjoyed the shrimp cocktail. We had leftovers for the next day but the fajitas tasted weird. Overall I will order again from here.

    This is a restaurant in my neighborhood. We have eaten here for years and it is wonderful. One of McAllen's best. We enjoy going here a lot.

    I heard good things about this place. We tried it out and have to say we won't be back. Very affordable on a budget but food was terrible.

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.

We got there at 6:40 , table for 8 5 adults 2 kids and a high chair , was told 20/25 min wait tops . There were booths available and plenty of space . 30 minutes go by I ask and was told it's going to be another 20 to 25 minute wait . Keep in mind it was my father in laws 70th birthday and he wanted to eat there . I get it I've been a server before , worked in the industry but when the hostess tells me 20/25 minutes really means 40-45 minutes I start to get upset . Was told " sir you don't have to get mad " I do when I have a. 2 year old who's been waiting for almost an hour , who's hungry and crying because u was told the wait wouldn't be that long . We finally got seated after almost an hour to wait for another 10 minutes before a waiter or anyone approached us . We ordered Sri js and waited another 10-15 minutes before they got there . Once they got there we ordered our food because we knew it would take another 30/45 minutes before it came out . I ordered another drink as did someone else from the table . It never came , nor did the extra bread we ordered . I went to the bar and upended a tab , got bread and took it back to the table . Food showed up and was bland and tasteless . So not worth the wait nor the bill . It's a shame that this location has unmotivated children working as servers and hostesses . We learned last night it's better to just buy streaks at he. And grill them ourselves . Never again . If you are the manager or the owner you should look into this . The bartender working last night was awesome I'll give y'all that !
