“Get lucky ducky !!!! Excellent drink highly recommended“

“He was fast and attentive and helped get my order out with no mistakes“

“Walked in right at closing (3pm) we started to leave because I hadn't realized when a server came out and said to come in, that it was 5 til 3pm and they would love to have us :) I've always loved their breakfast (if u visit must have their breakfast potatoes!) But today we had a light lunch; a tuna melt and a reuben with fries. Both are very generous portions. I was surprised to find they serve their tuna melt with a side of housemade, honey mustard. I tried the combo and loved it! For dessert, we had the apple crumble pie super delish! Don't sleep on their muffins soooo good! Service is always top notch, cant beat it!“

“Where are the music videos? I love this place but I don’t like to watch only sports. Bring the Music Videos back 😊“

“I’ve been coming to Siempre Natural for the past two years, about once a week, and during that time the service has consistently been excellent. Micaela, in particular, has always been incredibly pleasant and helpful with our orders. Her personal attention and warm demeanor have truly made each visit enjoyable. That kind of customer service is rare and has always set Siempre Natural apart.

However, I’m writing this review with mixed feelings. In the past, our order was called out by name, which added a warm, personal touch. Recently, we've noticed that orders are now called by a number. That personal, attentive touch that Siempre Natural was known for seems to be fading, and I hope that’s not the direction it’s headed.

The food is still great—no complaints there—and I appreciate the opportunity to share this feedback. I’m only pointing this out because I’ve genuinely enjoyed my experience over the years and would love to see that special attention to the customer return.

Thank you for reading.“

“I recommend La Eloteca when you’re craving that “elote en vaso” fix. I like that you have several topping options to enjoy that treat. However, folks.. Please have your food prep staff/workers change gloves after handling money or touching the checkout screen. The same checkout screen your customers touch. I was so turned off that I had to remind the female worker to change her gloves after she handled cash, the screen, then touched the opening of the bottle where the crema and mayo come out of. That’s cross contamination. She needs to retake that food handlers course again.“

“stopped in for lunch after arriving in town. Delinah was exceptional. She had a smile and attention to detail for menu items was pleasurable. It is nice to see someone excited to be working and enjoy the surroundings.“

“Awesome place and you need to try it. It's an expensive place, but it doesn't have to be. If you go on Mondays, you can get several appetizers for not much money. Mario, the guitar player was incredible, his style made it such a great, chill/vibe/mood. The bartender, Brandon, also made it a really enjoyable evening, he's a very talented young man. Everything we tried was phenomenal and I look forward to coming back!“

“Excellent service, great food, I just like everything about this little cafe/dinner. If you haven't been here, try to support our local community and take a chance, I know you will be pleasantly surprised. Thank you 😊.“

“I had a good experience at Denny’s restaurant on University Drive In Edinburg this morning. Samantha, our server, constantly checked on us. She always made sure to be cheerful and attentive. Cassie, a server not assigned to us, had an ever-present smile. Her smile radiated so brightly that it lit up the mood of my friend and me. These two young ladies made our visit to this place extremely pleasant. I recommend sitting at the bar. The bar is where the staff assembles to retrieve their orders. It is where you will always see smiling faces. Here is where they have more of an opportunity to face you and gift you with a kind comment or beam another bright smile in your direction.“

“good tasting food. excellent service. Abel was great. thanks 😊“

“Kayla D. and Andrea were great! Very helpful when it came to mixed drinks. Definitely coming back 😊“

“Muy bueno y lugar agradable“

“Came to eat their turkey dinner before Thanksgiving day. It was superb!! All the trimmings were delicious. Hillary and Leslie were wonderful, catering to all our needs. I would highly recommend this place. The atmosphere is so relaxing. Souvenirs are cute.“

“We like to sit at the bar. Which we did on Valentine's Day dinner date. We both like to see the bartenders do their thing. We both enjoyed the evening. The steak was cooked to perfection. We did not really like all the sauce or juice in the small dish the steak was smothered in.“

“Absolutely loved it, can’t wait for the next time I go back“

“Muy rico, tranquilo, la atención excelente por parte de nuestra mesera Lety.“

“Ok. So we went to Red Lobster to try their new seafood boil bag. We've been loyal Mr Crabbys seafood boil bag customers for 5 years. Finding really great seafood outside of NH is hard. So hard..... Until now. The RL boil bag is far superior. Here's why: 1. The seasoning is just right. Choice of garlic & butter or Cajun. Got the Cajun- because that's the only seasoning in a proper boil bag that's acceptable. 1a. The seasoning is far better as it's not drowning in oil- causing constant crab splatters. 1b. The seasoning does not overpower the taste of the seafood like Mr Crabbys does. You can actually taste the lobster- shrimp and crab. 2. The bag comes with 6 more shrimp (12 total) than Mr Crabbys 6. The lobster tail is split fully in half rather than just slashed down the top spine- making it difficult at Mr Crabbys to pull the meat out in one swipe. (That's what she said) 3. The bag does NOT come with sausage if you order the Mariners Bag. However it can be added. Here's the closer- it's REAL Andouille sausage- not kielbasa. Me Crabbys has been using kielbasa the last few times we went. If you know the difference in flavor- you'll understand why this matters. 4. I wore my bib cuz I'm accustomed to having the food drip all over me as I crack and work for my reward. It was not needed. Even with dumping the bag into the tray- it was not over saturated in oil- but rather delicately seasoned with butter. Over all- we have a new Sunday Boil Bag date location. I never thought I'd stray from Mr Crabbys- but shockingly- Red Lobster has become the affair worth having. They did good with hiring this new CEO who brought this brain child to my beloved Maine lobster Locale here in the Deep South. If yall see this- please- from this coastal New England girl trying to get a nut in the RGV.....don't ever drop this from the menu. Sincerely Your newest fan.“

“I love this place. The workers are kind and helpful to new customers. The food is pretty spot on every time I come. It is a little pricey, but good food usually is. I like the chicken and grape sandwich on a croissant. The poblano corn soup (kinda spicy) and zucchini soup are also pretty good. I have pretty bad social anxiety but always feel very welcomed here.“

“Shout out to Emmanuel and the crew from Siempre Natural on University and McColl!! They remembered who I was, and took care of my order! Kindness, speed , excellent service, and excellent food! Highly recommend! I ordered the chicken, grape and pecan salad on a croissant with jalapeños ands fideo on the side, 10 out of 10 a must try!“

“Excellent place to book your party. Very clean and the owners helps in every way she can it’s my second time booking this place. Very good hospitality and very clean all around.“

“I've never met them, but through some business dealings I learned that the owner of this place is, I think, a 2nd generation restaurant owner and from everything I've seen and heard, they are really good people. The food is great quality and the prices are totally decent. This place is definitely worth a try.“

“Excellent service, great food, I just like everything about this little cafe/dinner. If you haven't been here, try to support our local community and take a chance, I know you will be pleasantly surprised. Thank you 😊.“

“Had a good time. Our server was great“

“comida rica y productos de calidad en su tienda“

“Ranc House Burgers in Mission is the best place to unwind and eat great food on a friday night. Famous Amos is the best server and we look for him everytime we come here. Great service, great food and the best Margarita drinks and Palomas available. Famous Amos makes our experience here 10x better and the live music is awesome.“

“Go there all the time. Desserei always takes care of me. Never fails to be attentative to me and my friends. Always there when we’re ready to order another round. Pool is always a blast there and the music is always on beat to get the crowd going.“

“Me encanta y es muy saludable y aparte las chicas son muy amables. Todo en excelencia.“

“This is my new favorite snack place, they don't gouge you on prices the food was fresh and tasty , I ordered a he nachos with extra jalapenos, small elote cup, and a cherry rasps fornall three it was around $8 but i left a tip because the service was that good. Highly reccomend.“

“The fideo soup does not taste how it used to. It has too much chicken in it now and taste very sour like Old chicken or too much onion ??‍♀️. I think the soup sometimes is from the day before because it forms a jello consistency. I hope it gets better because its my favorite salad place when I visit the valley.“

“🥰 I have been to so many restaurants and this one is by far on my top 3. The mussels and steak here are amazing and its a beautiful restaurant with romantic atmosphere. I definitely would love to come back one day :)“

“I will definitely visit again. The service, food and cocktails were all outstanding.“

“This is our third time here. The wait to be seated was 15 min, which was fine. The waiter and I couldn't hear each other. There were so many tvs going with different programs. One is enough? The service was great, and the food came out in a timely manner even though it was a busy Friday night.
We ordered:
1. Queso dip - good, but order with no tortillas and more chips.
2. Burger - good as expected
3. Cobb salad with shrimp- good, but the shrimp were overcooked.
4. Lava cake - the best“

“I ordered combo #1, a sandwich, soup, and a drink very delicious for the sandwich I got the chicken with grapes very delicious with a side of Chipotle sauce nice combination for the soup I got fideo and for the drink I got a agua fresca melon flavor my family loves this place“

“Felicidades Rodolfo y a tu esposa , es para el publico o solo socios del club“

“May 30 2025
Visited Applebee's today with the fam. We all decided to try the all you can eat special and we also had the sampler. The chicken tenders were good the shrimp was ok, did not try the ribs. The service could have been better, she was not bad but she took a while to check up on us. We went like at 5:30pm and the place was not full which I like so the atmosphere was great. I would go again for sure but get another waitress.“

“las alitas bonnles el sweet habanero“

“Our server, Omar, was extremely attentive and very kind. The food and drinks were FABULOUS!“

“Rudy’s serves good BBQ with juicy brisket, savory turkey, and delicious sides. The green chili stew is my go to on cold days. It’s a hearty stew with potato and beef. Huge baked potatoes. The ambiance is casual and welcoming. Highly recommended for satisfying BBQ cravings. Drive thru is available.“

“I had the six once Ribeye, mashed potatoes and steamed broccoli. The Ribeye was super tough, potatoes were almost cold and broccoli was okay. This place was not busy but it took thirty minutes to receive our order. We let the waiter know our dissatisfaction. So the manager to replace steak with another item. I said no. She gave us a dessert instead. I was very disappointed.“

“la carne y el pan con mantequilla“

“We cannot recommend enough! Chantelle & Ethan at the bar were so welcoming and made the absolute best recommendations for both food & drinks. The homemade pasta is something you dream of.“
