Delicias Tortas Y Snacks — Restaurant in McAllen

I’ve never heard of their specialty but after seeing the pictures, I had to try their papantecas. Be warned — they’re spicy, and that’s coming from someone who always asks for the hottest Mexican salsas at taquerias.

The tortillas covered in the spicy sauce resemble the ones used in enchiladas rojas but the spices are hotter. I ordered it with deshebrada and it comes dressed with crema and queso.

After you take your first bite, you’ll feel the heat in your mouth but it lingers in your throat. It helped to have some of their lemonade on standby!

My boyfriend had the flautas, and they were everything you want in a flauta. The tortillas were crispy on the outside but the tender meat was moist inside. When you bit into it, it kept its integrity instead of breaking into pieces like other flautas. The toppings towered over, but it really helped ensure you’d get a little bit of the cheese, crema, lettuce, tomatoes and avocados in each bite.

While we were there we watched Jumanji in Spanish on the TV and really enjoyed the experience. We look forward to coming back soon and hopefully push my heat tolerance a little...

I ordered a Torta Danesa and a Licuado de Chocolate, and unfortunately, both were disappointing. If you're expecting authentic Mexican-style licuados and tortas, this place falls short, abysmally.

The only good part of the Torta was the bread; beyond that, everything else missed the mark. The meat lacked flavor, the jalapeños had an unpleasant taste, there was no bacon as advertised, and the cheese and meat were of noticeably low quality. To make matters worse, there were far too many chunks of fat in the meat.

The Licuado de Chocolate was equally underwhelming and didn’t meet the standards of a traditional Mexican-style drink.

I wouldn’t recommend this restaurant. Honestly, you'd get better value and quality at a fast-food chain. I was extremely disappointed, especially after reading positive reviews that had raised my...

I have no complaints about the food, it was delicious with reasonable prices. I recommend the food 100%. My issue was with the employee who helped us. She seemed grumpy or upset. 😢 she forgot to give us the chips. When I asked for the chips she didn’t say anything, she said “oh yeah, what do you want?” And I said “what do you have?” And she just walked towards the chips without answering my question. At that point I just told her which one I wanted. Additionally, they also have a service fee which is not a lot but I don’t agree. As a business owner myself, I don’t put the processing fees on my clients. I consider that part of the business expense. Even then, that doesn’t warrant my 3 stars. The 3 stars are solely based on...
