- KKrysAustin •2 reviews5.0Dined 7 days ago5 out of 5 with the following PROS and CONS. First I’ll list the positives: ambiance, cocktails, steaks, Mac and cheese, appetizers, staff. CONS: scallops (they were not seared enough and only 3 were served … I expect at least 4 even for fine dining experiences), pork chop (it was tasty BUT the chicharron part was too crispy to enjoy … 2 guests almost broke teeth trying). With that said, we still rate a 5 out of 5 despite the couple cons we experienced. We would definitely return on our next trip to the RGV.More infoSALT$$$$• Contemporary American• McAllen•4.7
- MRMarioRCorpus Christi / McAllen •3 reviews4.0Dined on Jun 2, 2023The ambiance and service are GREAT! My steak not so great. I ordered a tomahawk and asked for it to be medium and I received it well done. For the cost of the steak I would think they would cook it to my liking.More infoAmbra$$$$• Steakhouse• McAllen•4.5

Discover McAllen
McAllen might not be one of the most well-known cities in Texas, but its restaurant scene is surprisingly diverse while still holding that Texan flair for large portions and bold flavors. As one might expect, it's a town that understands meat. Steakhouses and Tex-Mex restaurants dominate the imaginations of both locals and critics, and they make up for a lack of elegance with a practiced understanding of how to handle the grill. That's not to say you won't find fine dining in the city of McAllen. If you're looking for a modernist, seafood-inspired spin on Japanese cuisine, a traditionally sumptuous Italian feast, or an upscale take on Cajun cuisine, you'll find something to love in McAllen. Many restaurants stock their kitchens with fresh meat and produce direct from the local farmers market.
