Santo Pecado — Restaurant in McAllen

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Amazing service, delicious food, and a welcoming atmosphere—this brunch spot really exceeded our expectations!

Huge shout-out to Chris, the manager, for going above and beyond. He was incredibly patient, made sure his staff was well-trained, and checked in on us multiple times to ensure we had everything we needed. His attention to detail and customer care made a big difference.

The drinks were also a highlight—great variety of coffee flavors and mimosas. We especially loved the banana nut latte and the amber mimosa. So good!

And now the food—wow. Hands down the best eggs Benedict we’ve ever had, made with flavorful carnitas. The steak and eggs were also a hit—the steak was juicy and perfectly seasoned.

While they don’t have a specific kids’ menu, they offered great options like pancakes, eggs, waffles, and the winner for our girls—French toast with banana and Nutella. They loved every bite!

When the omelet turned was a bit too spicy, the staff offered to remake it right away, no questions asked. That kind of service is rare and truly appreciated.

Highly recommend this place for your next brunch outing with friends and it’s family- friendly. We’ll definitely be...

I can't get enough of Santo Pecado! The food here is just fantastic. I've had the omelette twice now for brunch on a Saturday and it was delicious both times. Also tried the belgian waffle and french toast, both delicious.

Today, I went for lunch and tried the linguine with roasted poblano sauce and added chicken. It was amazing! My husband had the pistachio-crusted salmon risotto, and it was out of this world. I didn't care for the balsamic drizzle on the risotto, so I'll ask them to leave that out next time. It is hard to find good risotto, but this place has two dishes on the menu and it is cooked perfectly.

A couple of weeks ago, my husband tried the carnitas tacos and couldn't stop talking about how great they were.

The service is also top-notch. The staff is super friendly and attentive, which makes the whole dining experience even better.

Have not tried the drinks at the bar yet, but it looks well stocked.

If you're in McAllen and looking for some awesome food, I highly recommend checking out Santo Pecado. You won't be...

We've been to this restaurant a few times now, but my experience with Bentley as our waiter today was by far the best! He gave great recommendations for both our food and drinks, and took amazing care of our table the entire time. Breakfast was just incredible. We had chilaquiles and tres leches pancakes that were absolutely perfect, paired with some really good lattes. The food was top-notch as always, so big props to the cooks in the back. The atmosphere felt like it was a little strange/a bit off this time. It honestly felt like Bentley was the only employee scheduled for server duty because we barely saw anyone else around. It didn’t affect our service, but it definitely made the place feel like they're cutting back. Hopefully this isn't a sign of a recession or slowing business times, so I just wanna encourage people to try it out at least once. Overall, still a great spot that I'd wanna go back to try more of their menu. Great service by Bentley, great food from the back, would...
