50 Best Mexican Restaurants in Mcallen

“Ricardo fue un excelente mesero muy amable“

“100% recomendos las tostadas de atun deli pedi una salsa para marisco y estaba super deli los trio burritos le encantaron a mi esposo. Nuestra mesera Mayra muy attenta. definitivamente volveremos.“

“Food is great, great service, great prices. Their tripa is the best.“

“Candy was our waitress and was very helpful and polite! Food was really good. We got 2 molcajete mar y tierras and Candy did a great job at preparing them in front of us!“

“I have been wanting to go to La Casa de la Abuela (Grandma's House) for a long time. Friends of mine have raved about how good the food is. Well, they were right. La Casa de la Abuela covers every category for a delightful breakfast, brunch or lunch: a menu with great variety, quality delicious food, excellent service, a beautiful and pleasant atmosphere, good parking and a great location.

My friend had the enchiladas suizas. I ordered the chilaquiles rojas con pollo. The menu warned that the salsa roja is spicy... and they are right. 🌶 I like spicy, and this gave me the hiccups! 😄 Not to worry, they have several options, including mild ones.

I was impressed with their molcajete of guacamole, the refreshing strawberry lemonade, the classy presentation of each dish. I almost ordered the chile relleno or the torta ahogada. I learned they make their own birote (a denser kind of bread roll) for the torta ahogadas, which is key for that dish hailing from Jalisco, which is smothered in salsa prior to serving.

Everything I saw was spotless, elegant, and beautifully decorated. It's a new fave, and I will go back. When I do, I want to try one of their pastries: conchas, chocolate or strawberries and cream filled croissants, and more.

This was a great place for a meet-up with a good friend. It would also be great for a date with my wife, a business lunch, or small groups. The dining room is not very big, so large groups would need to find another option.

I highly recommend, Grandma's House!“

“Fastest elote to go to! Perfect for a nice date night! Our go to!“

“One of my favorite restaurants in McAllen“

“Mi primer visita al Paleque Grill de la Plaza Mall fue una gran experiencia gracias a un gran mesero amistoso y hospitalario David Uribe nos recomendo los mejores platillos y bebidas. Pasamos una noche agradable gracias a sus atenciones. Difinitivamente recomendamos sus servicios.“

“Although the place is very small, it makes me think of my grandma's home kitchen! The ladies that are preparing the food are amazing and the smells definitely took me back to my childhood when I was growing up in Monterrey Mexico. The food is amazing! The definition of authentic Mexican food!“

“All i have to say is this place was beyond our expectations. While waiting over an hour at another breakfast place we stumbled upon this cafe with a simple google search. My husband called to see if they had a waiting time and just our luck they didnt and even offered to reserve our table for our party. Customer service was excellent, and the food was chef kissed!! You can tell they make their food with love, it was so tasty 😋 overall this place is great and i cant wait to come back for those chilaquiles 🫢🫢“

The ambiance feels like an old Mexican style house. They did take awhile to serve us but they were quite busy. I’d love to come again to bring my parents and try something new on the menu.“

“Yesterday my wife & myself went for Dinner @ your location in North McAllen we were amazed with the Service & food was extraordinary the salsas & chips , the aguas frescas on a juG 🤩 It’s a must Go Gracias MR Ángel for your professionalism .“

“Great food and great service. Thank you Miguel Angel for your attentive service.“

“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.“

“I am from Brownsville was looking for a place to eat and Google lead me to this restaurant. I will come back the food its good, cant wait to try other dishes. Authentic Mexican food! 🎉“

“Awesome service and a great food sweet bread delicious“

“Everything was great. Tacos were full, lemonade was great, this is one of the few places that uses an actual potato and not blended fake instant mashed potato, we got one with meat..it was so good too big considering we got 2 orders of tacos also! That potato came with a few chips, rightfully so, it was a great appetizer. Nothing personable about the service not rude but friendly enough. Great food.

Update: we went again 3 more times. Great service and consistently great food! Also I forgot my phone on the table and came back to find the wonderful staff kept it behind the counter. Much love for this place.“

“I love the great customer service and their food is delicious and hot! I found an actual potato and egg taco with real potatoes and cut to a good size. It's the best potato and egg taco I've had in forever! Their nopalitos, chipotle chicken, chile rellenos with picadilo are amazing! Wide variety of plates and tacos.“

“Came in here with a friend and got the fajitas tacos 🌮. They were delicious 😋. What made them really good were the tortillias de maiz. They were fresh and delicious. The fijorles a la charro were delicious as well. Service was friendly and great.

Kid-friendliness: Plenty of room

Wheelchair accessibility: Yes“

Tacos suaves de papa, frijoles y deshebrada se los recomiendo al 💯!!! Muchas gracias Madi’s por una experiencia maravillosa!!“

“I saw a review on another Facebook page about this place that made me want to try it. Turns out it’s very close to where I live. All my other favorite taquerias are much further away. I had the bistek tacos and they were delicious. They served beans as soon as we sat down and they were great too. I had a michelada and it was prepared perfectly! My husband had the tlapeno soup. It wasn’t spicy like he expected but it was still a delicious broth with chicken, cheese, rice and avocado. There is so much more we want to try from the menu and can’t wait to go back! This may be my new favorite taqueria! People stop sleeping on this place, go ASAP!“

“Had to find a place to hide from my wife, she was shopping for quinceaenere ? dresses. Great place, good tacos. Nobody knew who I was or that I was incognito. Thanks Rodriguez staff for not ratting me out. I will be back, I promise to leave my fake mustache at home next time.“

“Great food and service as always!“

“I’ve been coming here for years, and I just noticed they’ve expanded the inside of the restaurant — it looks great! They have some of the best tortas in the RGV, always fresh and flavorful. You definitely need to come and try them! The salsas are delicious too, but be careful — sometimes they can be a little spicy! 🌶️“

“recommended!!! good service“

“Muy sabroso la comida la recomiendo“

“Friendly and informative staff. Brought home 2 plates ($15.14) through the app, Too Good to Go. Was instructed to fill it as long as nothing is falling out or dripping.

“Super recomendado a la comida le doy un 1000/10 aparte la atención de la mesera me encanto, todos muy atentos. La Milanesa de pollo una de mis favoritas 😍“

“One of the best places in McAllen to get a breakfast. Tacos are fat like the women I love and the coffee was black just like the women I love. Perfect for families, one night stands, and other situations you might find yourself in. The hot waitress made and ice cup for my Mexican coke on my way out.“

“Excelente atención al cliente! La comida esta super deliciosa y todo muy caliente al momento. Todo lo que venden es una delicia la barbacoa, tortillas, menudo y el atole de nuez. 😋 La atención que nos dieron fue un placer absoluto. Super recomendados Dios los siga bendiciendo. 🙏🏻💯🤩😋“
