Casa Madre Mcallen Reviews
This was our first time at this restaurant. We saw it on TikTok. My wife and I decided to drive down to Mc Allen 4 hours drive when we got there our waiter seen ok I ordered the molcajete imperial but I had them modified from the porterhouse to wagyu steak . There was an increase on the price which I didn’t care . My wife got the arranchera wagyu steak . So while we where waiting my wife and I were already having second thoughts of just paying for what we had consumed and just go next door to the Brazilian steak house but then I told my wife let me just see if they were able to modify my food because the waiter never came back so the manager came by and I told her that we wanted to pay for what we consumed and leave because the waiter was horrible and our food was probably not worth the money or the drive . So she responded, give me a chance to serve you and you won’t be disappointed with the food . please give me the opportunity to give you a great experience. So because of Isela Martínez. We decided to stay and had a great experience our food was amazingly delicious . I would recommend this restaurant and if you have a problem ask for her because you can tell that she loves what she and because of her I will be coming back and try different plates. The concha madre dessert was delicious. I’m not a concha person but this right here was delicious. Thank you isela martinez for making our evening special and the long drive worth it .
Every item brought to our table was well crafted. From the refreshing cucumber mimosa, the sauces each have the in house taste, the main dishes surpassed what we expect when we order this item anywhere else. Highly recommend a stop by to be served great food in a matching environment. Thank you Casa Madre.
OHHH M GG!!! Brandy has the best attitude when it comes to the service! Will definitely be back soon AND I hope she’ll be there as well because I’d love her as my server again. I recommend the Jarrito casa madre if you like mezcal
I don’t write reviews for a living! ☺️ But my experience at this place was beyond espectacular!!! From the moment we walked in, we were welcomed by the staff, as soon as we got a table the service kept on a “crescendo”… Maria assisted us with all information of drinks available and made one for us on the spot, absolutely amazing. Bryan, the quality of his service, what a guy, he is all smiles, and always provided answers to all of our questions about the menu, I have not had such a pleasant experience in a long time, the food, the desserts, the service, the place, the ambience, absolutely 10 plus! We had a couple desserts the first night and we went back the next day to have the menudo 😋 and the Cabrito, both absolutely fantastic, maybe the “riñonada” went a couple extra minutes in the oven, but the seasoning and taste was beautiful! We are coming back for more 100 % and maybe one of those days we get lucky 🍀 to say HI 👋🏼 to Antonio, who I follow on his videos! Come and have a good time, and spoil your taste buds with all the menu choices available! 🫶🏼 😊
When I say you all have to come and try this place, you won’t be disappointed, I came to try it out for the first time after a doctor’s appointment and it was great. The atmosphere is friendly and prompt. The food was delicious and of superior quality. My server Roxy was friendly and kind. I came alone and they made me feel very welcomed. I will definitely be back with family and friends!
Been wanting to try this place for the longest time, decided to take my mom for Mother’s Day, the setting outside and inside was beautiful.! All plates were flavorful. The pasta was creamy! The steak was bland and seasoned perfectly! The chicharrones de rib eye were also delicious. Planning to go again for brunch. Our waitress was very attentive, I recommend this place.
I was surprised how good the food was. I got the mar y Tierra and my bf got the tampiequena and both were bomb! The server was great and attentive. We got the guacamole app and it was HUGE! totally worth. The prices were not bad and good for the quality we got. I was surprised how fast the food came out. It tasted homemade for sure. Recommend!!!!!

Kinda overpriced, the food was ok but nothing special. I went for brunch and for two people we paid 200 dlls so yeah... basically you pay for the vibes and the location

The service was excellent. The food was disappointing. I ordered a porter house steak that was over cooked and very dry. Not what I expected for the price.

I think it is over rated… all because of the tiktok videos I guess they hype it up too much… it’s also over priced… we got like 3/4 servers, each time a new one kept coming and when we wanted something we didn’t know who to ask for because we didn’t know who it was… and while we ate they only went once to the table to ask if everything was okay. The food was good but not for the price, I guess as a one time thing to get the experience is okay.
The food here is absolutely delicious, and the customer service is some of the best around. The staff is friendly, attentive, and always welcoming. The only downside is that whenever I eat here, I end up leaving with my clothes smelling like smoke and grease. Other than that, it’s a great place with amazing food and service.
On a recent trip to McAllen Tx we visited this restaurant for a late lunch. The restaurant was not very busy and we were seated quickly. It is located in the mall but has its own entrance. The restau…
Beautiful aesthetic! Although, I loved the restaurants decor I was not too satisfied with the taste of food. A bit over priced for my Texas toast (which was served with my grilled chicken). Overa…
Came for a friend's birthday around 1:30, it took around 20mins to get seated for a party of 4. Restaurant atmosphere is nice looks clean and cool inside. Our waiter took a bit to finally come take…
Food was flavorful, waitress was polite. Other staff members seemed to be upset or concerned that i was eating there. Not sure if it was because I wasn't dressed more refined or what the reason, but I paid my bill before I finished my food and left. Definitely not the first impression I was hoping for having driven 4.5 hrs to eat.
We were so excited to try this place. I guess we were marketing victims here! We were also really disappointed. The booths were old and the leather had holes. The floor was sticky and dirty and the bathrooms too. Our waiter was amazing so he got 5 stars. The food was swimming in butter. The arrachera was salty. My beet salad had old arugula and dried chicken. The ribeye was good but that was about it. The only great thing was dessert. All of this for almost $400!!! We felt like we were robed really… never coming back.
I was excited to visit this place but I ended up pretty disappointed. It was not as I expected. 12 oz ribeye ($50) was too bland… asparagus and mashed potatoes were ok… queso fundido with mushrooms were not up to my liking either, tortillas were a total fiasco… only the green salsa was acceptable. Gin Berry and Madre Jarrito were good drinks, mostachon and cafe instantaneo didn’t make it out to be better either. I tried to have a good experience but it was not the case. Next morning I was sick… not pretty at all…Waiter charged me twice for the dessert and manager to avoid reopening the check to fix it advised to just give me cash back we’re waiter gave us $12.00 even back when dessert costs $12.99 + taxes , wife wanted me to say something but I just wanted to leave the place. I left a 20% tip because I am who I am but the place needs to live up to its reputation and some staff needs retraining… some others were at point… not our waiter though…
My son ordered the porterhouse steak. It was awful. Tasted like tough rubber. Very overcooked.

Really? This steak looks like one I could get at chili's. Actually I prefer the one at chili's instead. Its bathed in butter and it was over cooked. I asked for medium and it came almost well done.…
Well, my experience here was horrible with the food, it's super expensive, but the price is the least when the food is delicious, the waitresses are too friendly and attentive, but the food is ho…
I ordered the Cowboy Caramelo ($150) Tasted like goat 🐐 . Service was great.
My fiancé had reserved it for my birthday and they were giving us a hard time about the reservation when we got there. The table wasn’t ready so we were behind schedule and most of my family had made plans to come during their lunch break from work so they were only able to get their food and leave. The food took more than 45 minutes to come out, leaving some of my family to just get to go plate before heading back to work. Our waiter was no where to be found. He never checked on us if we wanted more refills or needed anything else. We had to stop waiters to ask for things since our server never showed up. I used to love this place which is why i came for my birthday but after this I will never return. It defeats the whole purpose of a reservation and you’re spending a lot for service that isn’t worth it !!!
My husband and I waited about 40 minutes for someone to acknowledge us after we sat down. We pretty much had to be hunting down our waiter to order and he NEVER stopped to ask how we were doing with drinks or with our food. We ordered an appetizer (papas a la diabla) and my husband was still eating off his plate when the waiter got to our table with our dinner and the waiter took my husband's plate WHICH HE WAS STILL EATING OFF OF and took it away to set the dinner on the table. I also found a long black hair in my casa madre chicken breast. First and LAST time we come here.
The dining experience was unsatisfactory due to the high cost relative to the quality of the food. Communication was challenging due to the language barrier with the service staff, hindering the ability to seek recommendations. The al pastor tacos and Casa Madre chicken breast, while visually appealing, lacked flavor and were bland.
Got the ribeye plate and it was overcooked and had no flavor. The steak quesadillas were fire though, and the nonalcoholic drinks were solid. The latte and cappuccino were great too. Dessert we got the stuffed concha and it was just okay. Honestly, the food looks better than it tastes. For what we paid, we should’ve just gone to a steakhouse. Also, the AC is always an issue here —last weekend it was so hot we left, and this time it was still warm and stuffy.
The restaurant is beautiful and the service was great — very friendly and attentive. We came during the week and it was dead, which probably should have been a sign. The food, unfortunately, was disappointing. My salmon was overcooked (though the vegetables were well seasoned), and the ribeyes were tough and bland — half our table didn’t even finish theirs. The guacamole with pork rinds was good, but it’s hard to mess that up. They did a nice birthday show for us, but overall, for the price, it’s not worth it. Good service, but the food just isn’t there.
