“My favorite place to get sea food boil! I love that they come packed with chunks of fresh garlic. I’ve always left with plenty of left overs so no matter what portion you get you’ll most likely leave with lunch for tomorrow lol. Prices are pretty similar to Mr. Crabby’s.“

“I have to admit I was very skeptical when I first got there. The decor looks like your grandmother's attic exploded.. lolVery random and quirky antiques. Feels like you are stepping into a random roadside mom and pop dinner.All that being said I had already made up my mind that I wasn't going to like it.That was until I took my first bite of their fried catfish. WOW what an impressive job of frying with great flavor and still maintaining a flaky texture. The shrimp was no less impressive!!The sides were mediocre but the fish and shrimp stole the show. I will definitely be back and recommend to friends.“

“I came with my family to try for the first time and I was beyond far from disappointed. Everyone was so attentive and continuous people came to check on us to ask if everything was okay. I personally got some pulpo tostadas. By far the best pulpo I have had. I highly recommend this place. I did a 40 minute drive and I would do it again. Worth the hype, worth the money!! 10/10“

“This is the first time I went to Mambo and the food didn't disappoint. I had the number 7 grilled octopus in mambo sauce with shrimp fried rice and the empanada appetizer. Our server Adri gave us excellent service. She was very knowledgeable about the menu and gave us recommendations like the grilled octopus with mambo sauce. She even helped us take a family photo and went above and beyond. I would definitely come back here. I really recommend the food I mentioned.“

“The restaurant inside is decorated beautifully! The servers were very friendly and attentive. I had the cóctel de camarón, and my husband had the tacos a la plancha, both delicious, and really enjoyed the jamaica as well! Can’t wait to be back in McAllen to dine here!Kid-friendliness: My son is a picky eater, and they have lots of kid friendly options, including pizza!“

“This place is hands down a must stop if you are in the area. The staff was friendly and helpful, and had great suggestions. The food is a perfect balance between spicy, savory, and somehow light and refreshing. Can't wait to come back the next time we visit the area!“

“I am not a winter Texan and loved the ambiance. The pancakes are soft, moist, and delicious. The huevos rancheros were good but the beans could use a bit of more of flavor and mashing. Will definitely return. The service was a bit scatter brained but they were hustling and checking up on you.“

“I got the telapia ceviche over green tostitos. They were delicious. The ceviche was just perfect, not overly fishy and the texture too. I tried their habanero sauce, which was super spicy but it added a great flavor to the snack. I'll try the shrimp ceviche next time“

“I had dinner here with a large group of veterans, which can quickly become hectic. All the entrees ordered were great and had plenty of flavor. My steak was perfectly cooked and the flavor was outstanding. I didn't get the servers' names but they were awesome and kept checking on us. To end the night we had an assortment of desserts. My favorite was the carrot cake, but others raved about the cheesecake and chocolate cake. I will definitely be back.“

“Sweetie, Midtown Ceviche took me straight to the streets of Spanish America! ??The lobster roll was like a symphony of flavors, and that Maracuya drink? Pure sunshine in a glass! They've got that homemade touch that makes every bite feel like a taste of home. A must-visit spot, no doubt!?“

“I give 3 stars to the food as the risotto was not a risotto (creamy consistency), it was just a rice with almonds, dry, not creamy, which would have add some “sauce” to the fish. If it wasn’t for the lemon to squeeze, the meal would have been too dry. Otherwise, the flavor was excellent, just the risotto needs to be “

“My favorite poke in the McAllen area. Been coming for years and I love to mix it up with the variety of proteins, toppings, and sauces. The house sauce is awesome. ?? Just a heads up though, there's been an older lady working lately and she ALWAYS under serves the base AND protein. I usually have to get double servings of the protein just to get anywhere close to what the other staff give.“

“This was a return trip to the Rio Grande Valley area, and I asked one of my friends who lived in the area for one of the best Mexican restaurants in town. He recommended Costa Messa and it was fantastic. I had beef ranchero, which was perfect. The portion was incredibly large and I was able to eat it again the following day. I’m definitely going back. The staff was also fantastic. Checking up on me. I can see this is gonna be a regular place for meto dine“

“We always stop here when in the Pharr/McAllen area. They make the best Don Julio Reposado Margarita in the country, even better than the original location in Laredo. The service, the food (especially the charro beans), and the atmosphere are top-notch.“

“Never been here but it had kool groovy vibes!! Made reservations just in case. Wise idea! It's on the 2nd floor. Was sat near bar area, only 1 other table n a couple at bar. Friendly young male server, prompt, polite n respectful. Get ready to blow some serious money at this place. I believe it was $24 for a thin cut of fajita. You know as well as I do, that's literally the cheapest cut of meat. Food portions are na ting to write home about. Grab a burger or sandwich before you get here! I haven't had hookah in a while and was in a jovial mood; take some extra underwear: $100 just for that!! Someone sakelow dispacio!! Inside got packed real quick, big party in attendance as well. If you're perhaps looking to "impress" a valley taco girl, this'll do it IF not save a ton of money and hit up Logan's!! Total bill that night for this place- $350.“

“Food is great but can’t say the same about customer service. Table of four and our food took over an hour to get to our table. Waitress was distracted having long conversations with manager instead of doing her job. Will definitely go back but will ask for a different waiter.“

“I'm a person that loves to explore every mom and pop or non corporate restaurants in the area and this one that never disappoints. I have gone to the pharr location and nothing but quality comes out out of their kitchen. This was the first time I got something from their McAllen location and it keeps up identically with the original location. Freshness, quickness and top notch quality is what this company produces time and time again. If you want freshness and good food, estray no more. Do it. You reading this review, go and get this epicness!! Got my order to go and it was just as good as when I have them in the building!“

“Good fish and shrimp, and a good burger, the steamed fish I believe could have used some more flavor, but I do understand they might do this so you could add the level of flavor yourself so as not to be to strong in which case the only option is to return it.“

“My wife and I recently dined at Hacienda Las Mariposas, and our first impression was good. The venue itself has an elegant vibe to it, reminiscent of an old-fashioned, swanky Spanish homestead -- a place one does not go to parade their disdain for proper etiquette by wearing torn jeans or failing to remove their hat indoors. Suffice it to say, we had equally high expectations of the food and service.They did not disappoint.We ordered the mixed botana for two, and it was easily one of the best we have had in the RGV. The presentation was excellent, the fajita was tender and juicy, and the trimmings were packed with flavor. Our side dish of choriqueso was tasty as well, and the complimentary cheesecake (we were celebrating our 34th wedding anniversary) was the best we had in years. The whole table was a feast for the eyes, to say nothing of the palate, and the portions were such that we had plenty of leftovers at the end. Our waiter, I should note, was very attentive from the moment we arrived until the moment we left, offering us something like the royal treatment - as my wife put it - and in so doing earned our manifest appreciation (read generous tip.) Granted, it was not the busiest time of day, but for that reason alone the best time for dining there.All in all, we enjoyed the restaurant. We found it to be a perfect choice for the occasion, and I can see it becoming one of our favorite haunts. We might even dine on the patio next time, the views from which are nice enough to fill the pages of a scenic wall calendar. Give the place a try. We highly recommend it.“
“Great place, good size variety of seafood. Fresh fish on the daily, the earlier you go the better..red Snapper, black drum, all size shrimp, live blue crab, squid, calamari, mix bag of seafood, ect... everything is wild caught in Gulf of Mexico. No farm raised, the salesman confirmed.“

“I love this small restaurant. The General Tso's is my favorite from all the places I have tried. The taste never disappoints me. The Teriyaki is good as well. The price has gone up, but they serve you a good portion and the staff is friendly. I always have leftovers.“

“It was a huge struggle between 3 and 4 stars. I settled on 4 because I know I'll be back. Please do something about your nachos. I ordered the nachos supreme for $10 and added fajita for another $6 and I'll never order that again. The owner/manager should to go Republic of the Rio Grande and order their nachos for $17...that's how they should taste. The service was very mediocre. Drinks sat at the bar, had to ask for water twice, slightly too long between check-ins. Like I said, mediocre. I can live with that, but my tip will reflect that. Not doing the 20% the app defaults to.“

“The restaurant is small but the food is great. The fish chicharrónes are lightly breaded and they taste even better with their super spicy sauce. On cold days I like to get their seafood soup that comes with delicious white steamed rice (yes, their rice flavourful). The other items on the menu are also well done; you cannot go wrong when selecting anything from the menu. Service and price are good as well. I haven't had a bad experience.“

“If you ever want to feel like you're on the beach enjoying ceviche or fish tacos, this is the place to go. Their ceviche is top notch, the service is always fast and friendly. This is definitely one of the best places to get ceviche aside from south padre. I don't even like seafood but i love this place. I highly recommend the tositos verdes ceviche. It is pricy but you get what you pay for.“
“I have experienced the best restaurant atmosphere among with impressive Customer Relations, as well as the Best Mexican "Taste" on the menu items, it was just magnificent, I had great moments for the last three times that I have eaten in this place! The owner and his staff, including Toño have delivered a world class quality food and service.The correct temperature, with an excellent dish presentations will set up this place apart from others. The selection on the Bar and music was also above and beyond expectations.The indoor and outdoor are awesome atmospheres, filled with scheduled events that will make an unforgettable memories, Cesar, Steven and the entire team will assure "top-notch" moments to the utmost.I honestly recommend this place for whomever would like to delight with the best home style food and ambient.For the record, this message is not a paid advertisement, I just wanted to share my experience with everyone that would like some good moments and food!!Thank you to all the employees, great cook team and owners.“

“Got this place as a recommendation from a friend in college, I was amazed at how good the food is here! I go once a week for the #2 combo of ceviche tostadas because they're that good. The ladies are always nice and provide my family and I great service when we dine in, and the price is fair given that mariscos are always expensive. If you are thinking about mexican seafood, this is 100% the place.“

“My cousin and I were promptly greeted and seated. Lupita was our server and was very friendly and professional. The 3 of us were discussing the topic of Mother's Day being just around the corner and Lupita shared she had two daughters and I said it would be a blessing for her to share the special day with her children. She mentioned it has been years since she was able to spend Mother's Day with them and hoped this year would be different. I appreciated Lupita's professionalism and friendliness. It's my wish that she gets to be with her daughters this year for Mother's Day because she genuinely deserves it.“

“This place is the best place for seafood in the Valley. The seafood is fresh and the portions are a good size for the price. They have specials at lunch time and their consommé is full of pieces of fish and shrimp. Of course, be careful with the habanero sauce, it does sting. The service has always been excellent and if you're lucky there's even mariachi on the weekends. So if you like seafood, come and enjoy a shrimp cocktail or some fish fillets. You will not regret it. And don't forget to try their cucumber lemonade!Postscript: Last Sunday my parents went to enjoy some lunch specials. My mom, as always, didn't finish the 3 steaks that came with the order because she filled up on the broth. He asked for a little box to take them with him but he forgot to take it and left it on the table. On their way home they realized it and returned to the restaurant. My dad went down to ask about the box and the waitress informed him that she had just thrown it in the trash. We understand that they can't store food for hours, but they came back as soon as they realized it on the way home (we don't live far from there either). He only included it as a suggestion that please wait a little while before throwing away a takeout container in case the customer returns for the food they already paid for. Thank you.“

“The food is great my only complaint is the workers not being sanitary. A young girl was putting sweet potato chips in my bowl a couple fell on the counter and she procededed to get them off the counter and put them into my bowl which is nasty. She then proceded to place a fork on my bowl at checkout takes it out places it on the counter (she was taking my bowl to the back to get the shrimp on there ) and when she came back with my bowl she was about to put that same fork that was sitting on the counter back into my bowl before i kindly advised I would just grab another. I was not to happy about that.“

“First time here, I gotta say the food was good, didn't know all the variety of fish they had and for the price it was decent. A variety of alcohol as well, nto to bad, a little on the small size the restaurant in while but seems to fit a good amount of people and has an outside patio to eat as well. Our waitress Caori, was very helpful, would come again for an event with my family or work events. Edna the manager was also very helpful as well, much appreciated.“

“Good food, the service is from the waiter we had, very rushed, they don't let you review the menu properly to choose, we had to tell him that he will hold out for a while (this is only to order drinks) the food has good flavor and is well presented, in addition to speed in serving it, to the point that it piles up, (may be because there were few customers...sordid atmosphere, uncomfortable furniture“

“Started off with their fried pickles – crispy, tangy, and just the right amount of kick. For my main course, I went for the fish & shrimp combo plate, and wow, it did not disappoint. Fresh seafood, cooked well, and bursting with flavor. Honestly, everything we ordered was delicious. Plus, gotta give a shoutout to the service – top-notch all the way.“
