Los mismos de siempre — Restaurant in McAllen

I've been coming to this place since it started in South McAllen by Thigpen Elementary.There Caldo de marisco is actually one of the best in the 956 area I should know.But as of today I realize that for hardworking people this place has gotten more expensive than others.I called for a large 7 mares caldo and it had gotten up to $20.00.Wow last time I order it was at $15.00 this was a few months ago it was for delivery and I could actually give a 5 dollar tip for the driver awesome person by the way.Please consider unless you all gave your employees a $2 an hr raise,this is understandable.But please consider, its the hard working 🙏 people that keep our local restaurants and shops running,so higher profits is not good business decisions in the long run.Thank you for many years of great service,but will not be going back ,cant afford it no more. ...

The breakfast here was okay, I ordered the Huevos Rancheros and for $5.99 you get 2 eggs, potatoes and beans (the bacon was extra).

The eggs were cooked perfectly over medium, the salsa for the eggs was okay it had a good flavor, the potatoes were pretty simple a bit bland, the beans were also just okay, the bacon was paper thin but it was good.

The tortillas both flour and corn are okay, the flour tortillas are homemade, not sure about the corn tortillas.

Overall the breakfast food was just okay, nothing that stands out, the restaurant could use better decorations/design, the servers were very nice...

Ordered a parrillada for 3 for dinner,everything looked and smelled amazing until we tried the meat it had wonderful flavor but it was dry and really chewy I thought it's just this piece but no every piece of meat was dry and chewy like if it was reheated..it would be great if it was beef jerky..one would expect good quality meat for the price of the parrillada...Hopefully the owners take this in consideration and change the quality of meat..it was a shame to have a wonderful flavor but kill it...
