Expensive tacos, they serves them cold and the place is not clean... I don't recommend this place.

Really good food. If you're looking for a place with good Mexican tacos and other food, this is the place. Trust me, you won't be let down, food is really good.

The food here is very tasty. If you want tacos that taste like Mexico, come to this place. All the food here is always delicious, they have a very good variety of Mexican food.

I came here 2 years ago and got tostadas and those were the best I ever had! I finally came around to going again, and they hit it out of the park again. Flautas were delicious with lots of crema + veggies 🥗

Definitely a place that is consistent with their food 👌

El Vagoncito Chilango is a quaint, local spot in McAllen that absolutely delivers on flavor. I ordered the suadero tacos, and they did not disappoint—perfectly seasoned, tender, and packed with authentic taste. The beans on the side were equally impressive—rich and flavorful!

The atmosphere is cozy and inviting. I’ll definitely be back, and I highly recommend this place to anyone looking for delicious, no-frills, truly Mexican street-style food. A must-try in the area! Five stars ⭐️

Good food, fast service. The smells can get pretty strong since there’s not a lot of ventilation. Overall a good place to eat Mexican food. Recommend and definitely visiting again.

Good food, good portions and good prices. Only thing is when you go to pay, the servers can be a bit over-zealous with their recommended tip percentage, which is always at 30%. The restaurant should let the customers decide that. Just about everything I have tried there has been great and have no complaints. Try the special charro beans, amazing...

I asked for trompo tacos, they gave me these super full of fat tacos. I asked for them with pineapple 🍍 and they didn't add them.

Very bad service, they just pick up your order, deliver it to you and disappear, The food
It's not very good,
For example Tortas de la Barda, those are NOT Tortas de la Barda (Neither the bread nor the chicharrón sauce) I am originally from Tampico and those cakes are the traditional ones from there.
The meat in the tacos is not very good and they lack flavor.
And the last thing Very Expensive $ almost $90 dollar for 2
And they already include the “Mandatory” tip
And we were 5 separate accounts
And it was all the same
If the service and food were very good
We had no complaints.
That was our experience last night (Jan-24-25) 😟😟

Very expensive and they get the tip, they don't come to see what you are missing, the cakes on the wall have nothing to see.

Awesome food and service. If they lower a little bit the music it would be better.
