it's not Wal*Mart, but this place tries to satisfy most of your shopping needs whether you're just browsing or you're on a mission, just remember you will be questioned on your purchases when crossing back over so know what's allowed upfront. As with most businesses in the area once they capture your attention they do their best to keep you interested and provide you every opportunity to spend your money. Although the traffic can be quite challenging and I made the decision to drive across I really don't recommend it, the parking lot on the American side is only short walk and you eliminate the risk of getting your car crashed, stolen or broken into. I don't mean to incite panic it's really not as scary as it appears but keep in mind if you don't buy a rider policy with your insurance company you may find yourself with some unexpected expenses because with most policies your coverage ends at the border. When you cross the Mexican border, south of Weslaco, TX, whether you drive or walk across the International Bridge to Nuevo Progreso, Mexico to shop or dine, you can't go wrong with Angels. Located about a block or so down the right side of the street from the International Bridge, you won't have any trouble finding this place the door to Angels opens at the corner of the building at a 45-degree angle to the street so this eliminates any confusion it's very unique to the area. The streets can get crowded but there are always a few helpful patrons directing you to the nearest open parking spot I highly recommend you reward these self-appointed parking attendants fairly and let them know you provide gratitudity at the time you park and again when you return, this seems to instill a stronger sense of responsibility and will give you piece of mind.
Angels has a pharmacy, liquor store, a gift shop and always plenty of help offering you plenty of recommendations. Jump on the elevator and go to the 4th floor and you will find Angels Restaurant, one of the favorite Progreso restaurants for many, if this seems a little to formal for you or you're pressed for time there are plenty of other options street side that are quick and reasonably priced. I suggest you allow yourself plenty of time to cross back over before sunset the return crossing can get a little backed up. read more
