The Blue Onion Mcallen Reviews
Delicious, fresh Mediterranean fare! Try their hummus appetizer and steak fajita salad.
This is our go-to when we can't think of anything else to eat. Everything is amazing. You can't go wrong. From the food to the service. The grilled flat bread dips are awesome. The wraps are just, wow. The prices are very reasonable. Probably the cheapest in town. For 2 people to enjoy an evening under 40 bucks. Come on. We'll be back.
I usually come during my lunch break or order to go. I had Sandy as a waiter today and she was great and attentive. Food was amazing as always.
Food was delicious, fresh, cooked to perfection. Every dish brought exquisite flavors and satisfaction to our palates 🥰
Love the flavors of the appetizers hummus and the pizzas are so crispy and flavorful. Their tea is really tasteful but lately on both restaurants they seems not to have any.
The food here is the best. They serve the best wraps and pizzas. Joann the server was amazing, she took really for care of my family, she was quick at bringing refills and very friendly and attentive. This place is highly recommended and the service is the best.
The food is really good, I didn’t want to do a review until I had tried a couple of their options. Their Po boys and calzone’s are incredible and they do have vegetarian options. Now what really stood out for me was their salads I had the grilled veggie salad paired with the balsamic vinaigrette dressing it was amazing! And the portions well proportioned. Keeps me going back!
STORYTIME: We have to admit my partner and I were going to eat at New York Deli nearby when we saw Blue Onion was also an option to have lunch. We saw NYD was busy so we had our opportunity to try out Blue Onion. Our server Kiara, I think suggested some Gyro/ Flat Breads the Chicken Pesto and Al Pastor. WE WERE BLOWN AWAY. Honestly so good we don’t even eat that kind of food but it was very delicious with two sides. The Marinated Cucumbers were delicious a new flavor we’ve never had. Dan the owner gifted us two tiramisu shots as a thank you for being first timers. Now, we will come again, great vibe and service.
The restaurant is very welcoming and warm with hosts and owner courteously attending our every need. The food is freshly prepared from what we could see..and portions are BIG...VERY BIG...i just couldn't finish my meal😩😩😩..took half home to eat the following day...the prices are proper for fresh, one of a kind dishes(that don't dissapoint)... Its not for every day...but splurging on yourself and ur tummy once a month..this place is IT!! I ordered gyro tacos(for me and the ball n chain)...and a cucumber and sautéed garlic salad...i like healthy stuff!! Highly recommend!!
Good and value for the money food place...I like this place because they genuinely respect the veggitariens.....very few of restaurants in McAllen area those are surving vegetarian food....I would request to management keep it up and enrich your menu with more vegetarian food items ...All the very best....
I had one of there salads and it was great. It had some chicken strips but I couldn't find them. It was still good.
I will say that the food here is excellent, the gyro was absolutely delicious, the bread was soft and the meat juicy, the cucumber salad made this gyro taste great. The shrimp and garlic pizza was also delicious. The restaurant itself isn't very appealing for my tastes. Our server Jose was incredible, he was fun and polite, it is because of him I'm giving this place 5 ⭐.
I had lunch on a Friday and ordered the fajita Alpastor wrap for the 100th time and the quality has gone down. It taste like it was boiled and not seared. The fajita was extremely chewy. I had not had that problem before and I hope it was only this once. My salad bowl had a small puddle of water.
I absolutely love the food! My wife and almost always get the fajita salad which is magnificent! But it irritates the hell out of me to have to pay a 4% up charge to use my credit card. Add 4% to the price of the food and I would not bat an eye. I try to not go there unless we are dying for the salad and gyros. This is not good marketing!
