This is my second visit here, and today I had the filet zarandeado. It was absolutely delicious! I have no regrets—the fish was cooked to perfection, and the rice and vegetables complemented it beautifully. The tamarindo margaritas are also a must-try!

You gotta love a restaurant with colorful murals! It is fun to read all the dichos y refranes while you wait for your food. We went on a Sunday afternoon and it was pretty busy. We started with 'Queso Fundido con Chorizo ' (melted white cheese) as an appetizer. It really was delicious and the highlight of our lunch. The flour tortillas were good. The 'Parrillada Milagrosa ' dish (for 2 people) was a treat. It is a combination of beef and chicken fajitas with grilled cactus, sausage, onions, cheese, and avocado served with quesadillas, rice, and charro beans. I loved the charro beans! Unfortunately, they don 't have a good cocktail menu. I tried the Margarita with a Corona beer on it. In order for the beer to not tip over, you need to order it as a frozen Margarita (which I 'm not a fan of to begin with). I chose the lemon-flavored Margarita from the relatively large selection of flavors. It was tasteless. I don 't recommend it.

**Dining Experience at Local Eatery: A Mixed Bag of Delights** Nestled in a bustling strip with charming decor and outdoor seating, this restaurant offers a vibrant atmosphere. Diners rave about the flavorful dishes, particularly the Parrillada Milagrosa and Filete Zarandeado. However, inconsistent service and occasional menu pricing discrepancies rankle some customers. While friendly staff enhance the experience, slow service can dampen enthusiasm, especially during peak hours. Cocktail recommendations are hit or miss, with some drinks falling flat. Despite the critiques, many patrons express loyalty and willingness to return, indicating a potential for improvement in both service and menu consistency, making it a place worth a second glance.

The fajitas botana featured juicy meat, and the cheese was quite tasty! The homemade tortillas were delightful—everything was delicious! Excellent experience!

I had the caldo Tlalpeño, which was excellent and really helped settle my stomach since I wasn't feeling well during my visit to McAllen. My coworker enjoyed his meal, though I can't remember what he ordered. The service was quite good, but the downside was that our waiter didn't speak English, making it difficult for my coworker to communicate his order. I think the owner was on-site and seemed very involved. I also noticed a drum set, so it looks like they might have live music at some point.

Had shrimp tacos were decent. Drinks were good. Only thing is live music playing and was way too loud. Couldn't have a conversation while eating.

Found this place at the recommendation of our hotel. I looked on Yelp and wasn't blown away by the reviews, but decided to try it, as the woman at the hotel said it was good. I ordered fajita nortena, which was clearly a fajita entree, but what's difficult about their menu is that there is no explanation of what any of it is. I had to ask the waiter about a few things, and while he was helpful and happy to do it, it makes exploring their menu and ordering a bit challenging and it's hard to know exactly what you're getting. I don't speak Spanish, and perhaps that would have helped knowing what kind of fajitas nortena was, or any of the other things on their menu. It would be helpful if they included a one-liner of what each entree was. That being said the fajitas I got were well-seasoned and tasty, and the tortillas were delicious and fresh. IMO, the portions were average-sized and the pricing was fair. The restaurant was not busy when we arrived, and we were seated right away and the waiter was good about refilling our soda beverages and checking in.

This is my second time visiting this restaurant, and today I had the Filete Zarandeado, which was absolutely delicious! I have no regrets; the fish was cooked to perfection, and the rice and vegetables paired wonderfully with it. I also highly recommend trying the Tamarindo Margaritas!

The Parrillada Milagrosa, meant for two people, was a delightful dish. It featured a mix of beef and chicken fajitas, along with grilled cactus, sausage, onions, cheese, and avocado, served with quesadillas, rice, and charro beans. I particularly loved the charro beans! On the downside, their cocktail menu could use improvement. I tried the Margarita topped with a Corona beer, but to ensure the beer doesn’t spill, you have to order it as a frozen Margarita, which isn’t really to my taste. I went for the lemon-flavored Margarita from their large selection, but it ended up being tasteless. I wouldn't recommend it.

This is the place that introduced me to Pulpo! It was a succulent, whole grilled ?, bursting with flavor. However, this time I ordered just the carnitas del pulpo, and it was over-cooked and tough. The waitress was super sweet, but service was extremely slow both times I've dined here. Not a plcae to go when you're in for a quick bite! With many open tables, the hostess didn't even acknowledge me when I entered, and took time to finish her cell phone activity before considering to seat me. Interior decor is aesthetically appeasing, with some cute Spanish quotes painted on the walls. There is outdoor seating available, and it's conveniently located in a strip with many other restaurants, and walking distance from hotels. I will try this place one more time, and perhaps update my review.

My experience with the staff is a 5-star rating, but the food and drinks are not. Avocado Margarita does not recommend. Then an original margarita was ordered and it wasn't good either. Definitely stay at La Costa next time

Paid $71 for 2 parrilladas for 4 people... I?m not sure whether to laugh or be angry... 2 flour tortillas and 3 honestly sub par corn tortillas. Fajita was very good, everything else looks to have been done in a hurry. Drove 8.5 hours from Dallas, to the valley to have Mexican food with my parents. Called for 15min to try and get this resolved but it looks like the phones been left off the hook. Big let down. Go elsewhere. Update 2/11/20 Parents ordered a parrillada for 3, got what you?d get elsewhere for 2 people. At least this time they gave us enough tortillas for 3 people. Can?t complain about the food quality, it?s good.

Recommend tacos callejeros are AMAZING, they taste so good and good price. Also the parrillada is genuine meat and many can dine with one. Our server Alex was really nice, attentive and has good recomending food.
