“I enjoyed it. Not you prepackaged fare the food is good. Presentation is quirky; just jump in it tastes great. I had a turkey special with homemade bread, mashed potatao, green been casserole (where else are you going to get that?) And stuffing. I loved the stuffing. And for context-I do not eat stuffing. Mud pie was good too.
Oh! Get coffee. You like bold coffee?
Get the coffee.
Also the food is really good for the price. Buy a couple pies and some bread. Get a to go dish. Leave a tip. Its that good.”
Korean • $
“Just had a fantastic lunch at Wa Gabose Korean Restaurant with my family! From the moment we walked in, we felt the warmth of hospitality. Kyu, the owner, was super attentive, stopping by our table to make sure we were enjoying our meal. 🥰 The staff was friendly, adding to the great vibe!
We kicked off our feast with delicious Korean dumplings, and we couldn't get enough of that amazing dipping sauce! For our mains, we savored the Chicken Ka Su, Beef Dolsot Bibimbap, and the mouthwatering Beef Korean Style Ribs. Each dish was packed with flavor, and the sides were fresh and tasty!
If you're looking for a cozy spot with delicious food and excellent service, I highly recommend Wa Gabose! Can't wait to go back!”

“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.”

“Last night, Myra and I had one of the best date nights we've had in a long time at Santa Fe Steakhouse. From the moment we walked in, we were greeted with a warm, inviting atmosphere that set the tone for the evening. The lighting was just right, the music soft enough to enjoy conversation, and the service was exceptional professional, attentive, and friendly without ever feeling rushed. The food was simply outstanding. We started with an appetizer, Fried Cauliflower that was perfectly seasoned and fresh, followed by our entrées that exceeded expectations. My steak was cooked exactly how I asked tender, juicy, and full of flavor while Myra's dish was equally impressive. Every bite reminded us why Santa Fe Steakhouse has such a great reputation. The drinks were perfectly mixed to match the night's mood. But beyond the amazing food and atmosphere, it was the company that made the evening unforgettable. Sharing laughter, good conversation, and genuine connection with Myra made the night feel special in every way. Santa Fe Steakhouse didn't just serve great food it helped create a memorable experience that I'll truly cherish. Highly recommended.”

“This is my first time visiting Texas and we decided to try this place out for breakfast. I can honestly say this place did not disappoint. To start the cafe de olla is amazing. I was going to ask for creamer to add in but the server told me to try it first then think about adding it in. Thank god he told me to try it first because it was delicious on its own and they serve it in a traditional Jarrito Mexicano. The food was amazing. I got the breakfast torta and it was delicious. My family got the enchiladas, chilaquiles, and omelette and they were very pleased. I also recommend the cucumber lemonade. Our server Enrique was extremely helpful with our order and very attentive. Overall his customer service and the food was amazing. I cannot recommend this place enough. If you are ever in McAllen you should stop by.”

We were shocked when Mario, Assist. Mgr., informed us we couldn't order under both of the specials. We told him we didn't see that indicated for wine special. He told us he would allow it this time. We were flabbergasted. Thankfully, our server, Oden provided great service & our meals & hot bread were EXCELLENT!”

“Huge fan of all the Asian markets in McAllen. It's nice to have access to something uncommon in most of the RGV. This is a great addition to that library, and has been so for a handful of years now. A nice stock of snacks and meats, with miscellaneous items that may pique your interest. Sort of a hidden gem, just across from the de dios store. Again, more of what we need, and more of what I want to see stay in the RGV forever.”

“If you live in the Rio Grande Valley, you have probably been to this restaurant. It is local food at relatively low prices, and it is open 365 days a year, 24 hours a day. Remember that this is a small town, not a big city, so staying open all night is unusual. We tried it a couple of times. We ordered bean tacos, egg tacos, and coffee. It was good Mexican food. They have a breakfast combo that is very popular: 2 tacos plus coffee for about $5. We went through the drive-through window. The service was friendly and relatively fast.”

“Vida made our entire experience absolutely unforgettable. From the moment we sat down, she radiated warmth, professionalism, and genuine kindness that instantly set the tone for the evening. She wasn’t just attentive—she anticipated everything we needed before we even had to ask. Her recommendations were spot-on, her timing was perfect, and her ability to balance attentiveness with giving us space was flawless.
What really sets Vida apart is her personality. She’s not just friendly, she’s magnetic—engaging in conversation with a natural ease that makes you feel like you’re her only table, even when she’s clearly managing everything around her with effortless grace. It’s rare to meet someone who can combine exceptional service with such authenticity, but Vida does it beautifully.
I’ve had great service before, but Vida redefines what “great service” means. She turned a simple night out into something truly special. Honestly, if you’re lucky enough to have Vida as your server, you’ll understand why I’m already planning my next visit. She doesn’t just elevate the meal—she elevates the entire experience. Vida is hands down the best waitress I’ve ever had, anywhere.”

The bar tender is a great guy, he works like crazy, smiling and taking care of business and customers. The food took a little long to come but it was delicious, we had Alfredo pasta and lasagna, both great taste. At the end tiramisu to go, it was really good.

“I really like biscuits and sausage gravy and I like omelettes. But the concept of an omelette containing biscuits and gravy - WOW! With sides of great hash browns and fresh fruit. Mmmmm..... . . . . . . Best breakfast I can remember. As a bonus, easy in and out at 4100 N 10th st McAllen, with lots of parking.”

“Big suggestion for the owner of this restaurant:: You can entice more patrons to rent the back room for an event with the occupancy at least 50 to 60 if you fixed the rest room and make it look decent, clean and new because it's was too dingy when I attended an event in that area. I'm sure you'll make more money if it's clean and descent. I bowl didn't even flushed and as I opened, it's full of floating stool that made me nauseous and won't flush. No wonder the person I followed could not flush even if she tried because "it's out of order". From then on we used the restroom outside. I almost vomited the food I ate. Please renovate it so it will look like new.”

“I live in Alice, I went to this place because I saw their place in u-tube, I am glad I did because their tortillas are almost as good as the ones my mother used to make. My wife ate nopalitos and cheese cordita and she said it was the most delicious she has ever tasted. I just hope the owner realizes the kind of cooks that he or she has because these are the best kind of chefs, they learned either from their parents or grandparents or both. My compliments to the cooks and if I were your boss I would give you a raise.”
