Enjoyed fresh and delicious 😋 shrimp tacos 🌮. Bean soup was amazing, I had two cups. Chips were freshly made. Staff is friendly and the waiter was wonderful. Open since 1966. Please come here for a good authentic Mexican meal.

Great place to take your family, definitely some very good freshly cooked meats and food! I enjoy coming here a lot because the food is so good and the service is impeccable! I also enjoy having breakfast with coffee here as I stroll down 10th street on the weekends😊

Although I didn't care for the chilaquiles, the 2 breakfast tacos i ordered were very delicious. The place was very nice and fancy looking. I didn't care for the attitude the older male waiter had. I was letting him know that the Diet Coke flavor was not even close to tasting like Diet Coke and replied sarcastically with, what do you want me to do, that's what we have, type of answer. So I was wound up paying $3.50 for a canned of Coke Zero. Same with the ordering of the tacos. Mind you, I didn't eat my 1st choice, then in a frustrated way he says in Spanish, that if it was to go or to eat there. Went there because of a TikTok ad. Well my 1st time there was not too enjoyable with attitudes like that. 1st impressions can only be made once.

Had breakfast for the first time, ordered barbacoa tacos on corn tortillas. It was mid morning on a Friday, the restaurant was not that busy. The restaurant also has a bar.

The place is old and needs some maintenance. The food is ok but if you expect same quality and taste than a cabrito restaurant in Monterrey that is not going to happen. Very high prices for what you get. The waiter was very nice.

The place looks beautiful inside and the servers are very attentive, the huevos rancheros were good but their quality decreased from previous visits, for $7.95 you get 2 eggs, refried beans, potatoes, ham & fried tortilla. The eggs were overcooked, the salsa for the eggs was okay, the fried tortilla under the eggs was mediocre, the ham was simple but tasty, the refried beans were okay and the potatoes I liked that they made them a la mexicana but flavorless. They serve you chips and salsa while you wait, the salsa is really good. Overall the breakfast was okay but the quality of the food has decreased no more yellow corn tortillas, different quality ham. The place still looks great & the servers are still amazing. I hope management sees this observation.

My wife and I were invited to eat at El Pastor Grill for an early lunch. The place is in the building that used to be the Oyster bar, located at 600 N. 10th St, McAllen TX right at Fir Ave. Once seated we ordered iced teas, the server brought our teas along with chips and salsa. I ordered the CaldoTialpeno, (soup) and my wife and friend ordered the Enchiladas Suizas. Our server really took good care of us, totally on point. I wish I could rave about the food but it really was a let down. My soup was way too salty, broth was definitely made from bouillon and not stock. There was not the traditional Chipotle in the broth, but rather a Chipotle Chile served on the side. I mentioned the saltiness to the server and he returned with a new bowl, unfortunately it was just as salty as the first bowl. I removed the chicken, rice, and Avocado from the bowl and settled for eating this. My wife hardly touched her enchiladas, I asked her why? She said they were way to dry and had no flavor. Sadly my friend ate less than half his plate, his comment I won't write, but they both agreed that the rice was undercooked. It's to bad the food doesn't meet the expectation you get when you walk in to the restaurant. The decor is nice and creates a pleasant ambience. I might go back and try the grilled items, but based on the food quality of this visit, it's probably going to be until I hear something good about the place.

Worse service ever food was very disappointing. No cabrito, plastic in food, fideo with horrible smell. We asked for the manager and that theres no one, not even the owner. We were celebrating my aunts Bday 18 persons and all the plates were disappointing.

The food here was absolutely awful—cold, bland, and completely lacking flavor. It took forever to arrive, and when it finally did, it wasn’t worth the wait at all. Our bill came out to $241, which I don’t mind paying for great food, but this was a total disappointment for the price. The only positive was our waiter, who was really good and attentive, but even great service can’t make up for terrible food. I do not recommend this place whatsoever—stay away if you can.

Food is okay with the lunch special deal. The waiter name is Fernando. He is so rude to us. I put my hand up to call him. he saw and ignored me. It was hard to call him over until I needed to ask another nice lady to help. He even put chip bowl on top the empty bowl instead of taking it back. I was so mad. I recommend the restaurant to do something with this issue because I’m not planing to go back to this place because of the waiter.

The first time we visited this restaurant, it was edible. We decided to give them a second chance only to experience bad service and my plate was not good at all.. The Bisteck Ranchero plate was terrible, the flour tortillas appeared to be store bought and tough, the male server had to be asked repeatedly to bring us what ever we needed. He was very rude when we one person from our party left him a tip and told her to keep it, probably thinking that that was all he was getting. What he failed to realize is that every member of our party was tipping him as well.. We always tip our servers very well and his refusal to accept that particular indivividual tip was very insulting. We will think twice before returning.

I'm big on quality food, and when I go to a new place that I haven't been to, I look around to see if there are customers during the busiest time of the day (12pm-1pm). There were only two other people, which should have been my sign. I ordered the cabrito rionada and what I got was a very dry piece of cabrito it might of well been a cabrito jerky and even at that it wasn't edible. I couldn't bite into it. I did return lt and they told me I still had to pay for it. I didn't argue I just paid it and went on my. If you try this place stay away from the cabrito. I was going to post a picture of it but I will leave it at that.
