“When I lived in Austin back in the 90s, I would eat two of the gorditas before I would return. Now that I live here again, I visit this place at least once a month. If you are from McAllen and you don't know this place, you need to try the gorditas rellenas. They are all good.“

“Went to get lunch and I was very impressed! The food was sooo good. I initially went in thinking it was more of a taco place (even though it says on the window they have more) but was surprised that they had really good sushi! Then the music that was playing was so chill and fun. Service was amazing with a great staff! I love that I found this gem so close to home. Will be visiting again!“

“Big Lou at you again with another unbiased review and let's just say as a former restaurant owner,one of the things that has always gotten me is how well they all take pride and ownership in what they do and it's a damn great job. Great Mexican style chicken on the grill, seasoned just right, French fries, macaroni salad, corn tortillas, pico,gotta go,placing an order now,buen provecho.“

“The food, staff, atmosphere was awesome“

“I love the food there! You can fulfill your craving for delicious greasy street taquitos and at the same time you can order your hand-made tortilla fit taquitos without fat and lean meat. I love it! In addition, the sauces are delicious, the green cake with the chips and beans are another level. The waters are super rich too!Super recommended. The waitresses are very friendly and attentive all the time.“

“Super friendly staff. Came for breakfast tacos and was not disappointed. Fresh flour tortillas we delicious. The Barbacoa with onions & cilantro was probably my favorite and one of the better barbacoa tacos I’ve ever had. Great experience and will plan to be back.“

“Loved the food and everyone was very nice.“

“I love this place. I’ve been going here for breakfast for about 8 years now and I love it every time. It’s a little different than other restaurants you might have been to but the food is great and so are the prices. I love the migas in red salsa and their chicharrón prensado with red salsa. Their barbacoa is delicious and is also sold by the pound even on weekdays. If you’re going there for Lucy their chiles rellenos are really good…my mouth is watering just thinking of it. It sucks that I’m too far away now to go back for more. I’ll be back soon.“

“La sopita de conchitas y las entomatadas are so good!! Excellent service“

“We went to Casa Messa today for lunch. Service was right on, Margaritas were great and the food was outstanding, I would highly recommend them“

“By far BEST place in McAllen to get Delicious breakfast tacos. Staff is Friendly and Very Professional. Highly recommend the Potato, Egg, Cheese, Bacon and Bean taco on either Corn or Flower it is Amazing.
For lunch I like their Asado De Puerco ?
If you are in McAllen on North 23rd come by and try it you won't be disappointed“

“El Paisano is a gem! The tacos are packed with flavor, with the carne asada and al pastor both perfectly seasoned and tender. But what really stood out was their fresh mango agua fresca—it’s incredibly refreshing and the perfect complement to the meal. The service is fast and friendly, and the vibe inside is cozy yet lively. If you're craving authentic Mexican food, El Paisano is a must-visit!“

“Great food and service as always!“

“Can never go wrong eating here.“

“Beautiful big generous portions and very tasty food!!! :D Not to mention the very affordable prices! I also really loved the lemonade, very refreshing! And the fact that they only charge you .50cents to change the original combo drink to a lemonade is the cherry on top! Definitely my new favorite taco spot from now on!
Thank you to everyone at Piporro!!!;DD The only thing I would like to add is for Piporro to please add the half baked potato/media papa to the DoorDash menu so you can order one with the 5 taco order too!“

“Really good food, just really bad service from mission location new waiter w glasses“

“I ordered at the drive-thru, but you have to pull up to the window since the speaker at that menu doesn't work(?). It wasn't a big issue, though! We got two tortas, and they were AWESOME (one fajita, one chipotle chicken)!!! Be warned....their sala verde is actually pretty spicy--reminded me of my abuelita's salsa!! Definitely will try sitting in to dine again!“

“Great food and great service“

“nos benimos de villa del Mar de Macallen siguiendo a un gran servidor para atender al cliente sr. Jonathan hoy se encuentra en muelle 37 muy Rica comida mucho mejor y la manejadora alma muy atenta al cliente“

“GOOD PAPA AND EGG TACO'S AND BARBACOA TACO'S!GREAT STAFF!!“

“Excelente opción para las carnes asadas“

“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.“

“Very delicious food and friendly place alzo a clean place I recommend you to enjoy a good meal“

“I think this is the best Mexican restaurant in McAllen. You must know how to speak Spanish. Food is always well prepared and never greasy . Chips and picoso is authentic. Waitress staff are beautiful ladies and very polite. Lunch specials daily ..“

“Awesome service and a great food sweet bread delicious“
