What else can you say other than this place has never failed me. For those that look online for menu's, don't go by that all the time. Some just haven't been updated. Great food, great staff and great atmosphere. Yes, it can be pricey, and for some, the amount of food given for the price may not be worth it. But the taste never fails. Love it.

Got the vegan enchiladas. They come with three enchiladas, potato hash, beans, and rice. It was very tasty. Flavorful not spicy. I ate the entire plate and it was so filling. I will definitely come back next time I’m in McAllen. Service Dine in Meal type Lunch Price per person $20–30 Food: 5 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 4
So the plan was to hit up McAllen and try lunch somewhere we've never been before. This place has been on the to-do list for some time. We've heard good things and thought we would give it a try. First impression was the greeting by the host. Excellent service, very genuine and welcoming. We're assigned to a table, server is there within seconds taking a drink order and dropping off chips, salsa and chorizo beans (which were absolutely delicious). We needed a bit cause we've never been. Finally decided to place our order and bamm, it's out within minutes. It's fresh, it's hot, it has great presentation and smells fantastic. I ordered the Mar y Tierra. Fajitas, shrimp, white rice, charros and guac. Charros were substituted for smashed beans. Again, it looked great but it wasn't excellent. Fajitas were whole, I had to slice them. Usually that's not a big deal but the skillet didn't allow for very much room and they were really tough. They tasted ok but a stretchy fajita isn't a good fajita. The grilled shrimp had spices on it but it had no flavor. Rice was good, beans were great, grilled onions and guac were good too. I've had worse but the expectations were not met. Wife had a tampiqueña. Fajitas, Mexican rice, beans , guac , a green chicken enchilada and a flour quesadilla. Actually the quesadilla was a choriqueso quesadilla. She had a similar issue with the fajitas, the quesadilla was also surprisingly chewy and the enchilada was ok. Again, we've had worse. What really made the lunch great was the service. Our server really made sure we were comfortable and that our meals weren't missing anything. Atmosphere noise level was lower than average. Definitely my speed. I was able to have a great conversation with the wife. I'm not sure if I would come back because it was very very expensive in comparison to the quality of food. We knew it would be pricey and didn't mind it if the food was off the charts, but it didn't come close, in my opinion. Again kinda mixed feelings about this place cause the service was excellent and atmosphere was pretty good Service Dine in Meal type Lunch Price per person $30–50 Food: 3 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 4

This was a little hard to fine since it's located in the Mall, but well worth the trip. We are used to TexMex, but this was different. Not much green lettuce on the tacos, but they were delicious.

Our recent experience was bad, our server was mediocre and arrogant telling us that the arrachera is meant to be tough because we ordered it medium, clearly the server knows nothing of meats and has no respect for the restaurant for telling us what they serve is bad. The rest of my review is from a past visit. ------------------------ Our server was very kind and attentive, you could see genuine care for his customers. The Mar y Tierra Prime Steak was delicious, everything was cooked perfectly, the steak was juicy, the guacamole flavorful, the Laredo shrimp was very delicious basically everything. The arrachera & fajitas de res were were delicious. The charro beans and rice were both okay, I was more impressed by their refried beans and chips and their tasty Salsas. I wouldn't recommend the tacos gobernador (shrimp tacos), they weren't any good poorly prepared. The Pasta Cuchi Cuchi was delicious, the sauce was very flavorful. I would definitely recommend the Prime steak but I will try the Fajitas de Res in the near future as I feel that cut of meat will be more delicious.
