1411 S 10th St, McAllen, TX 78501 · 956-994-8385
MCALLEN. Daily lunch specials make this a popular place for the business crowd, and superb main dishes are varied enough to suit just about any desire: burgers, seafood, pizzas, pastas and grilled steaks. The scene is casual, and it's not uncommon for crowds of friends to settle in for a couple of hours of eating, drinking and soaking in the stylish, ranch-influenced decor. Outdoor seating is available - when it's nice out, few things are better than enjoying dinner on the patio beside a trickling fountain.
701 N Main St, McAllen, TX 78501 · 956-618-1178
MCALLEN. Enjoy superb cuisine and environs at this stylish eatery. While the interior recollects a Mediterranean bistro, the lovely garden patio easily seduces romance-minded diners. Main courses run the culinary gamut - steak au poivre, veal scaloppini marsala, pan-seared Tuscan duckling and seafood bouillabaisse. Five-, six- and seven-course Escoffier dinners offer a choice of meat or fish main course along with hand-selected cordials and aperitifs. For patrons gathering after work, the restaurant's upscale Speak Easy Bar serves premium mixed cocktails and international beers.
709 N 10th St, McAllen, TX 78501 · 956-682-3419
MCALLEN. A departure from what many regard as the typical border-town dining scene, Sahadi's offers an exotic twist for diners who think their choices are limited to steakhouses and Tex-Mex joints. Cafe and gourmet grocery combined, it caters to a sophisticated palate. Lunch and dinner specials boast Mediterranean inspiration, from souvlaki and stuffed grape leaves to homemade baklava and almond macaroons. At 7pm on Friday, local oenophiles flock to Sahadi's for wine-tasting events, and live music is frequent on weekend nights. If you fancy yourself a beer connoisseur, checking out their selection of imports is a must - Sahadi's purports to have the largest in South Texas.
1100 W Houston Ave, McAllen, TX 78501 · 956-631-8193
MCALLEN. In these parts, it may seem that you can't round a corner without finding yet another taco stand or Tex-Mex restaurant. That said, the Valley's homegrown Casa del Taco franchise stands out from all the rest thanks to fair prices, awesome eats, terrific salsa and potent margaritas (the latter regarded as some of the region's best). A good place to gather with friends at the close of the work day, La Casa is a nice departure from burger chains, pizza joints and sandwich shops that too often creep into our diets.
209 W Nolana Loop, Pharr, TX 78577 · 956-781-8888
PHARR. Known all over the Hill Country and Rio Grande Valley for homestyle grub and a rustic, country store aesthetic, Rudy's has been serving tasty, tomato-based barbecue for parts of three decades now. From beef brisket and pork spare ribs to chicken and jalapeno sausage, Rudy's certainly keeps with its motto: "I didn't claw my way to the top of the food chain to eat vegetables." Delicious country side dishes like corn on the cob, potato salad and coleslaw truly complete the feast. Before you finish, be sure to sample their banana pudding or soft-serve ice cream with hot cobbler - you'll never forgive yourself otherwise.
2900 N 10th St, McAllen, TX 78501 · 956-683-0027
MCALLEN. A stylish, romantic attitude prevails at this contemporary 10th Street bistro owned by Dutch native Marcel Fortuin. The cuisine pays homage to the inventiveness and versatility of modern European gastronomy, and Fortuin's menu offers a sinful parade of dishes like sautéed Dover sole with Parisian potatoes and rémoulade, Mediterranean-style filet of corn-fed chicken, and osso buco with sun-dried tomato risotto. Fabulous dessert and wine menus perfectly complement Fortuin's creative fare.
2007 Nolana St, McAllen, TX 78504 · 956-630-4477
MCALLEN. If you and your party are searching for somewhere to ease your craving for red meat, the smart money would be on Mesquite Grill. In this friendly, Texas-style steakhouse, folks enjoy premium cuts of everything from rib-eyes to T-bones. As for the kitchen's tasty baby-back rib platters - well, they're nothing to shake a stick at, that's for sure. Live music is frequently featured and enhances the place's casual, laid-back ambiance. The friendly waitstaff and rustic decor give Mesquite down-home appeal.
3300 N McColl, McAllen, TX 78504 · 956-661-1967
MCALLEN. Live music and a patio lounge take a backseat only to the outstanding fare at this heady steak and seafooder, whose strip mall setting in no way prepares guests for the romantic, upscale scene inside. The menu features an international lilt, from flounder veracruzana (a tomato-based Mexican sauce) to terrene dishes like Dijon-covered tenderloin medallions with sautéed mushrooms. The wine list offers an impressive mix of choices, ensuring that visits to Blue Aquarium please even the toughest critics.
6800 N 10th St, McAllen, TX 78504 · 956-686-6847
MCALLEN. Rustic (charmingly so) and easy-going, The Mill appeals to diners who have a strong longing for homemade eats served in a setting that captures a bit of American history. Indeed, the roomy restaurant's stone walls are hung with artifacts of days gone by: old bicycles, signs, photographs and even a jug or two. While the decor may seem down-home, the menu is anything but, thanks to veal marsala, steaks and specialty sandwiches. As for the name, look no farther than the water mill in front of the restaurant (it's also depicted on their menus).
7017 N 10th St, McAllen, TX 78504 · 956-683-8800
MCALLEN. Billed as a New York-style Italian eatery, Fresco provides South Texans with a family-friendly place where they can enjoy homemade pastas, specialty pizzas, and fresh fish and seafood dishes. The owner, a Long Island native, brings a bit of big-city panache to the local dining scene, and folks in McAllen couldn't be happier. Now, in lieu of one of the chain joints, they can stop by Fresco's after work and leave with a hand-tossed pizza pie piled with fresh toppings. Casual, bright and atmospheric, the restaurant offers an even better experience for sit-down diners, thanks in no small part to neighborly service.
