“There is now absolutely no other reason that my husband and I come here other than for Camille and Jaime at the bar top! We have had dinner here a few times and always enjoyed it, so we’ve come back every now and then, BUT now that we’ve met Camille and Jaime, I feel like we’ll definitely become regulars. Their ability to nail every single food and drink recommendation impresses us every time! I have not been let down a single time, so I can comfortably say their entire food and drink menu is mouthwatering. (I highly recommend their Passion Fruit Tamarindo drink, tastes exactly like the Mexican Rellerindo candy, perfection.) Furthermore, we can’t forget to mention their ability to swiftly jump into action when tackling a million drink orders all while still maintaining impecable customer service. Just seeing how they do it all while making it seem so effortless makes me realize that their service skills are some of the best I’ve witnessed in the valley. We definitely like to eat out on the weekends so we’ve had many experiences in the RGV, but their lively attitudes make our experience at Mikhuna an enjoyable one EVERY. SINGLE. time. Every restaurant deserves their own Camille & Jaime! They’d definitely bring all the customers in and assure that they leave with their belly’s full and well beyond satisfied.”

We placed the order and my brothers fish and shrimp was yummy! Mine though, I was disappointed. The portion was smaller than what I have been served in the past, but I didnt mind at all what I did not like was the flavor. It had a reheated taste to it and it some were well done or med well when I had asked for medium. The manager did allow for me to swap out my dish for something else. I truly appreciate the discretion and the quick turn out time. I am one very happy customer, will definitely return to this location.”

Yard House 2200 S 10th St, McAllen New American • $$

“Their food and service is top tier. Only reason it’s a 4 star and not a 5 star is that my favorite item was removed. Their beyond burger was the best and I was glad to finally have a nice place to eat out that offered a great option for me. I know they replaced it with a veggie burger but it’s not even close to being what the beyond burger was. I’ve tried some of the other vegan options but nothing could compare. Another thing is that at peak time between all the people and the loud music it can be very hard to hear both the people you’re with and the server. However that being said food was always fantastic and service was amazing.Vegetarian options: They have a lot to offer for vegetarians and have clearly labeled menus for restrictions. Same for vegans we are capable of having a good meal here. I will say however their normal buns are not vegan so you have to sub out for their gluten free one which is not the greatest so I’d recommend bringing a bun if you want a better bun option.Dietary restrictions: They have a very detailed area warning of common allergens and have separate menus for vegans/vegetarians/gluten free people.”

“I ate here years ago and remembered it was good, so I came again. The service is great. Very friendly. If you’re in a hurry, go somewhere else. It takes a while to prepare good food. The coleslaw and macaroni sides were very good. The El Pastor Wrap is very good. And there’s lots of it. The only reasons I didn’t give five stars are:The grill was too hot and burned stripes on the chicken. Once I got that scraped off, minor effort, the chicken wrap was great.The napkins are starched too stiff. It’s like wiping your face with cardboard. I would suggest skipping the starch.All in all, it was good. I’ll be back.Parking: Usually plenty of parking.

“I've only been once. So take this review from a first time experience. Is the place called Tito's, or as the sign suggests, Adriana's? I'm going to guess it was formerly Adriana's and is now Tito's. Only because everything inside is branded Tito's.The service is ok. Due to its process of paying up front, there is a benefit of not having to tip if you eat inside. My guess is this restaurant is meant for fast ordering.Now onto my review of the food. I ordered the Cuban sandwich, mainly because of the avocado and white cheese. The sandwich was ok. It fed me. But I also didn't finish it due to the bland nature of the sandwich.The portion of the ingredients of the sandwich had me puzzled at first. The slices of the avocado were so thin, I almost thought I received the wrong order. Same with the sliced tomatoes, they were from a small tomato, and I too had to hunt for them. The chicken was a bit bland, but there was a lot of it, and the ham was good. My feeling is the heavy portion of chicken was meant to impress, but all it did was highlight how small the vegetable portions were.I almost didn't write this review because I like writing when I have positive experiences. Unfortunately, skimping on the vegetables left enough an impression on my experience that I couldn't finish my sandwich. Hopefully it was just my one time experience. But if not, and you have the same thoughts with your food, then my review wouldn't be in vain.”

“There is now absolutely no other reason that my husband and I come here other than for Camille and Jaime at the bar top! We have had dinner here a few times and always enjoyed it, so we’ve come back every now and then, BUT now that we’ve met Camille and Jaime, I feel like we’ll definitely become regulars. Their ability to nail every single food and drink recommendation impresses us every time! I have not been let down a single time, so I can comfortably say their entire food and drink menu is mouthwatering. (I highly recommend their Passion Fruit Tamarindo drink, tastes exactly like the Mexican Rellerindo candy, perfection.) Furthermore, we can’t forget to mention their ability to swiftly jump into action when tackling a million drink orders all while still maintaining impecable customer service. Just seeing how they do it all while making it seem so effortless makes me realize that their service skills are some of the best I’ve witnessed in the valley. We definitely like to eat out on the weekends so we’ve had many experiences in the RGV, but their lively attitudes make our experience at Mikhuna an enjoyable one EVERY. SINGLE. time. Every restaurant deserves their own Camille & Jaime! They’d definitely bring all the customers in and assure that they leave with their belly’s full and well beyond satisfied.”

Yard House 2200 S 10th St, McAllen New American • $$

“Their food and service is top tier. Only reason it’s a 4 star and not a 5 star is that my favorite item was removed. Their beyond burger was the best and I was glad to finally have a nice place to eat out that offered a great option for me. I know they replaced it with a veggie burger but it’s not even close to being what the beyond burger was. I’ve tried some of the other vegan options but nothing could compare. Another thing is that at peak time between all the people and the loud music it can be very hard to hear both the people you’re with and the server. However that being said food was always fantastic and service was amazing.Vegetarian options: They have a lot to offer for vegetarians and have clearly labeled menus for restrictions. Same for vegans we are capable of having a good meal here. I will say however their normal buns are not vegan so you have to sub out for their gluten free one which is not the greatest so I’d recommend bringing a bun if you want a better bun option.Dietary restrictions: They have a very detailed area warning of common allergens and have separate menus for vegans/vegetarians/gluten free people.”

Buffalo sauce, a crunchy coleslaw and pickles made for the perfect complement to the crispy chicken inside a toasted croissant.One of our favorite paninis is the BLT that comes with a fried egg and avocado. The bread is perfectly crisp on the outside while the fresh, smooth avocado and warm, fried egg combine so well inside.My boyfriend and I really love the soups of the day, too. So far we’ve had lentils, chicken and vegetables, potatoes in chipotle, and fideo. It’s hard to pick a favorite since they’ve all been flavorful and hearty.It’s hard to walk away without trying the beautiful pastry selection by the display near the doors. We’ve had a slice of Chocolate Abuelita cake that tastes just as sweet like the familiar Mexican drink. Since it was Valentine’s Day recently, we also had the dipped strawberries that were coated with a bittersweet chocolate to balance the sweetness in each bite. I’ve yet to try the carrot cake but I’ve got my eye on it!Overall, there’s nothing sloppy or stale in the quality or freshness of the food here, but the owners go beyond offering a great fare and also provide some of the best customer service around.We’re big fans of this place, this hardworking family and their food.
