And who is this person? A friend of a friend? YOU tried to speak in Spanish? OMG I hope this works out. And it did, beautifully. Carmen and her sister Elsa did all the food and the decorations for a party of about 130 with seeming ease. Elsa transformed a raw space into a fiesta! forever! event. Gorgeous colored tablecloths, centerpieces, huge paper flowers, sombreros, candelarias. The whole thing was just perfect and probably the best that place is ever gonna look. Carmen, the chef of the duo, cooked, set up, served, cleaned up and generally made everyone as happy as pigs in shit. And I dont use that very graphic phrase lightly. On the menu: small homemade corn and flour tortillas, fajita, chicken, pork asada, pork belly, gorditas, quesadillas, poblano with cream and corn (veggie), towers of trompo (marinated for days), a huge salsa bar, aguas frescas (fresh juices) of watermelon, mango, pineapple and all the serving ware included. Oh, this all cost us $20 a person & $15 a table. Your quote may be different but I was mightily impressed. It was like I walked into a portal to mexico, minus the scary drug guys and iffy food (but plus a lot of scary relatives.) It seems like that dynamic duo can handle any project you want to throw at them. And believe me, you should throw every event with them. People will be raving about it for years -- and I didnt have to lift a finger. Only a fork.

Best Catering For Less…read more If you're looking for good healthy looking food to feed you're people at the next Pachanga, or Fiesta, try All-Occasion. "Banquetes para todo ocasion" You get chicken stuffed with cheese and ham, with steamed rice and veggies, or potato salad, or pasta! They have three types of chicken plates you can choose from all from 5.95 a person, that includes, drink and bread. There is chipotle chicken, serrano chicken, and chicken with mushrooms and gravy! They offer other plate combinations with steak and shrimp for a different price. But chicken is the more economic choice. If you have time, you can go up to the establishment, and the owner will cook you sample plates to help you decide what to buy, and you will get the whole plate for free! He will not even charge you to test! AMAZING. My three aunts and I went here to test the food on a Saturday around lunch time, they were so hungry, they all tried the food, and choose their favorites and had lunch! Not only does this catering get the job done for less, they will deliver to your establishment and sometimes if you're lucky the caterer will stay and help you serve the food. And since he knows all the portions this makes it easy on you. They provide real plating, and nice drinking glasses, along with real silverware. And don't even think about having to wash all those dishes. They pick them up dirty when you are done with your event. So stop thinking chicken with rice and beans, or brisket out of a Styrofoam plate is the way to feed a bunch of hungry people at your next event. Surprise people next time, believe this place is so professional your friends will think you spent so much more $ than you actually did. Your wallet will be singing 'money money money money, MONEY!'

It was only tacos and burgers. Don't get me wrong, I love tacos, but you can get good tacos and burgers anywhere here. To me, food trucks are an opportunity to offer something unique and innovative. Nuri finally came around and did just that. The food is amazing! My husband and I have been waiting for food like this since we moved to McAllen from Miami almost 4 years ago. They ran out of the steak but we had the "karnitas" and the fried chicken. Delicious blend of Mexican and Korean. I highly recommend going to Nuri over the other food trucks.

Arrived for lunch at open which was 11 and the parking lot was full. And there was a line outside to get in which was not a surprise. Our wait outside was 45 minutes. There is water outside after all it is oppressively hot in STX. They do stagger how many can go inside at a time to order. It is a counter and you order your sides first and burgers. We went with the #1 family meal which was a 1/2 lb of brisket, pork ribs, choice of sausage and 2 8oz sides with bread, pickles, pickled red onion and sliced white onion no drink included. Our sides were macaroni and cheese and pork belly rice. I added another 1/4 lb of brisket and 1/4 pound of sliced pork loin. It did not seem like enough food that is why I ordered extra. The price per lb of brisket is overpriced at $34 a pound. I had originally ordered the jalapeno cheddar sausage and they stated that they were out of that and beef sausage at 11:45. I had to settle for the Serrano pineapple sausage. There is no reason to run out of one the Texas trinity bbq staples 45 mins after opening. I did enjoy the flavor of everything we ate plus had a little leftovers. I am sure we'll be back next time in the valley but will be more conservative due to the high pricing here.

So if I could give 1/2 stars, this place would get 4 1/2. We were in town and decided to stop by…read morefor breakfast. The place is very busy, but despite that the wait was only 10 minutes at 10:00 am on a Saturday. The hostess and our server were both very friendly. The place advertises that it specializes in home cooked comfort foods so we figured we'd have to see how their biscuits and gravy were. We ordered a 1/2 order and it came with a biscuit split in half and covered with gravy and sausage. The flavor was perfect - it definitely lived up to 'home cooked comfort food'. I ordered an omelette - three cheeses, sausage, bacon and ham with onions, cilantro and jalapeños - which came with refried (black) beans. The omelette was very good - flavorful and fresh. They actually use slices of cheese inside and on top - I've never had an omelette prepared that way but it was very good. When I first tasted the salsa I was not a fan - it was warm and had a different flavor - then I put it on the omelette and - great pairing and great flavor combo. The refried black beans were sadly underwhelming - no real flavor. I know they were homemade but they were missing the flavor that usually comes with refried beans (black or pinto) My wife had the quiche which had onions, peppers, sausage, mushrooms and cheese. It was very good. Even the crust was good. She ordered the breakfast potatoes as the side. The flavor of the potatoes was excellent. Half of them were lightly crispy on the outside and soft on the inside which were great; the other half were overcooked and became potato chips - good flavor but not a breakfast potato. We will definitely come back to try their lunch food and dessert (we were too full today). They have a good variety of breakfast, lunch and dinner items on the menu so there is something for everyone. We were glad we stopped in.

The staff are attentive and take great care of you. Food comes out promptly and in my 3 visits, precisely as ordered. I don't believe I've ever felt more welcomed into a restaurant than here. Seriously this is what other restaurants should strive to deliver. Fantastic food, great environment to eat in and welcoming staff. Breakfast: both the works omelet and migas were great (especially with the added salsa). 1000% get the fruit. The dip they provide is of similar idea to that which Jason's deli gives. With the primary difference that this one makes Jason's seem entirely inadequate. Lunch: The chicken Parmesan is an excellent choice, I got pasta instead of potatoes. It was a very healthy portion and filled me up. Even the veggies it comes with are properly seasoned and cooked. The tea is wonderful, they do offer flavored teas but I did not try that. TLDR: great establishment, give them a try.
