Alonso's Tres Rios Restaurant — Restaurant in McAllen

IF I COULD GIVE 0 STARS I WOULD!!!! I’m sorry to say this is ABSOLUTE WORST MEXICAN restaurant we have EVER BEEN TO IN LIFE! Started off w no greeting bad service and stale chips! This is mcallen, who gives stake chips at a Mexican Restaurant! This should have the warning to run but no we gave them the benefit of the doubt. They had the wrong day daily specials up the waitress saw us looking at them ordering off that menu on the wall and didn’t bother to say anything, she never checked on us we had to get up to request hot sauce and refills. The worst spent 30 sum dollars of our life the portions were told cold and no flavor!!! My carne guisada must have been made from the oldest cow in the world tough. Old rice. Over priced soup no flavor all cheese. DONT BE FOOLED HERE the pics look nothing like the yelp pics. SAVE UR TIME...

I really hope the employees are being...
