Menu is huge take your time to read through it. Portions a HUGE so carefully order unless you expect to take home leftovers. BTW the meals come with a homemade yeast Roll as big as your FIST. Would come back.

This place is a big step up from any other. The food is magnificent with every bite being worth it. If you try this place please don't let a small detail bother you cause there is just so much that out weighs the cons. The staff is friendly and the service is great even on a busy day. If you decide to try it out, I highly suggest the cream waffle. It has a sweet flavor that melts in your mouth. Definitely my favorite place in McAllen.
