And old cabrito restuaurant in a new location, with a long history of great food and service. I remember the first El Pastor from downtown Reynosa, where you would see Mexican movie stars, singers, politicians and a lot of them from the American side too. I recomend their Fritada, a delicious dish, the best I've ever tasted, and delicious Guayaba cheese pie..yummy. Guayaba is called Guava here in the states. Try everything, I am sure you would love to taste authentic Mexican Dishes.

Although I didn't care for the chilaquiles, the 2 breakfast tacos i ordered were very delicious. The place was very nice and fancy looking. I didn't care for the attitude the older male waiter had. I was letting him know that the Diet Coke flavor was not even close to tasting like Diet Coke and replied sarcastically with, what do you want me to do, that's what we have, type of answer. So I was wound up paying $3.50 for a canned of Coke Zero. Same with the ordering of the tacos. Mind you, I didn't eat my 1st choice, then in a frustrated way he says in Spanish, that if it was to go or to eat there. Went there because of a TikTok ad. Well my 1st time there was not too enjoyable with attitudes like that. 1st impressions can only be made once.

My first time at el pastor grill, went for the breakfast special $7.99 coffee included and I was pleasantly surprised about the food, so tasty and generous portion, coffee was also excellent.
My brothers who didn't want to go there, loved his huevos divorciados. For sure we'll go back.

Worse service ever food was very disappointing. No cabrito, plastic in food, fideo with horrible smell. We asked for the manager and that theres no one, not even the owner. We were celebrating my aunts Bday 18 persons and all the plates were disappointing.

The place is old and needs some maintenance. The food is ok but if you expect same quality and taste than a cabrito restaurant in Monterrey that is not going to happen. Very high prices for what you get. The waiter was very nice.

The food here was absolutely awful—cold, bland, and completely lacking flavor. It took forever to arrive, and when it finally did, it wasn’t worth the wait at all. Our bill came out to $241, which I don’t mind paying for great food, but this was a total disappointment for the price. The only positive was our waiter, who was really good and attentive, but even great service can’t make up for terrible food. I do not recommend this place whatsoever—stay away if you can.

Food is okay with the lunch special deal.
The waiter name is Fernando. He is so rude to us.
I put my hand up to call him. he saw and ignored me. It was hard to call him over until I needed to ask another nice lady to help. He even put chip bowl on top the empty bowl instead of taking it back. I was so mad. I recommend the restaurant to do something with this issue because I’m not planing to go back to this place because of the waiter.

The first time we visited this restaurant, it was edible. We decided to give them a second chance only to experience bad service and my plate was not good at all.. The Bisteck Ranchero plate was terrible, the flour tortillas appeared to be store bought and tough, the male server had to be asked repeatedly to bring us what ever we needed. He was very rude when we one person from our party left him a tip and told her to keep it, probably thinking that that was all he was getting. What he failed to realize is that every member of our party was tipping him as well.. We always tip our servers very well and his refusal to accept that particular indivividual tip was very insulting. We will think twice before returning.

Best cabrito restaurant in McAllen

I'm big on quality food, and when I go to a new place that I haven't been to, I look around to see if there are customers during the busiest time of the day (12pm-1pm). There were only two other people, which should have been my sign. I ordered the cabrito rionada and what I got was a very dry piece of cabrito it might of well been a cabrito jerky and even at that it wasn't edible. I couldn't bite into it. I did return lt and they told me I still had to pay for it. I didn't argue I just paid it and went on my. If you try this place stay away from the cabrito. I was going to post a picture of it but I will leave it at that.
