    Egg sandwich with avocado and runny egg
    Maribel S.

    I really like the egg sandwich it was crispy and had some delicious egg with avocado as well as the chicken Pozole living the lime tasting flavors!

    The food is so good that i forgot to take a picture before. 10/10

    The food was so good that I forgot to take a picture 10/10. Burger is unbeatable and the service is amazing.

    Casablanca burger and fries.
    Michael C.

    Went on the recommendation of a friend and was not disappointed. Staff were friendly and prompt. The wait wasn't bad for lunch service and the food was really good. The restaurant had a more upscale vibe than what I was expecting but it was good. I would recommend it.

    Appetizers were amazing!!

    Server was amazing and helpful. Food was delicious. I only got pics of the appetizers, once the food arrived we dug in.

    Cauliflower wings

    Great service from Ruben and a nice dining room. Food was a solid 4/5. The cauliflower wings were the best part.

    Fish tacos
    Leslie B.

    I had a great lunch here! Ordered the Beetlejuice drink for the mezcal and was not disappointed. The beer battered fish tacos were tasty, but so puffy they barely fit in the tortilla (not always a bad thing) but I'd try ordering them grilled instead next time. Service was also great and we were seated right away on a Saturday afternoon.

    Bodega Burger with Bacon, & caramelized onions.
    Adrian R.

    Great food, great service, great atmosphere, and prompt attention to our needs. (Party of 16), all handled by one server. He was well versed on the menu, making recommendations, or answering our questions on flavor, and taste. If he wasn't sure about an ingredient, he made no guesses, and excused himself to quickly ask the chef. I ordered the Bodega Burger medium well, which was cooked to order, and absolutely delicious. The bacon, and toppings were perfect, as were the caramelized onions. The fries were light, fluffy, yet crispy, not wilted. I don't know if they used an air-fryer, or were deep fried, but no matter, they were cooked to perfection, all served upright in a stainless steel cup. I actually split shared my order, and it was still enough to satisfy two people. No worries about having to compete with obnoxiously loud thumping teen party dance music, or flashy laser lights while trying to converse. This place has an air of quiet, high class ambience, and subtle mood lighting, perfect for a couple on a date, or a business meeting, and yet appropriate for family gatherings as well. It was a great evening. We were even allowed to bring in our own birthday cake. My only question to the owner is if some items have MSG seasoning, as drowsiness hit me rather quickly afterwards, giving me a good night's sleep at home. Of course, it could have just been the natural beef protein reaction to my great meal. Side note: Antelope Burger is on the menu, so that will be my next conquest, as the server said it is not gamey in taste, but lean.

    Horseradish encrusted ribeye

    Bring extra cash or an additional credit card because the prices will get you. The steak was good and the drinks pretty good. $130 for two people did surprise me but we had a good time

    Fall Fashioned cocktail
    Carla R.

    First time eating here but the food was great! From the fresh chicharrónes with green chile sauce, to the truffle braised short rib beef stroganoff, to the carrot cake with rosemary ice cream my friend and I shared. I'm also a Old Fashioned connoisseur and the Fall Fashioned I tried was one of the best I've had. Our server Josh was a polite and nice young man who also did a great job taking care of us. Will definitely be back when in town.

A James Bond kind of theme, dark, mysterious and sexy. We made reservations and received a call for confirmation. As we sat at the bar, we were served by the bartender, Diamond who was helpful, attentive and willing to answer questions. The three different martinis on Happy Hour menu were excellent, especially the espresso and dirty martini. The empanadas were filled with great flavors of chicken and cheese. The Bond fries we recommend, fries topped with caramelized onions, animal dressing and sprinkled with Parmesan cheese. The spiced mixed nuts, were okay. The charcuterie board was filled with 4 different meats, 4 different cheeses, olives, tomatoes and toast. If any constructive criticism, I would put a few crackers on the board, however it was a great treat! We will be back. Things to be aware, you need a reservation and there is a dress code.

You do have to have reservations so don't just walk up they will not allow you in just with anyone, which is good because it keeps the downtown kids out, older, more mature and professional adults! Nice place!! Great for a girls night out as well!!

Overall, this place truly delivers on service, ambiance, and amazing food and drinks. It's the kind of spot you can't wait to come back to and recommend to friends. Highly recommend!

The server/bartender was rude, dismissive, and acted annoyed when asked for something as basic as a drink refill. The only time he showed any level of attentiveness was when the apparent manager was present -- once they were gone, so was any effort or professionalism. Despite being the only table, our food took over an hour to come out, with no explanation or apology. This was the first time in my life I've ever left a zero tip, and it was absolutely earned. What made it worse? The server/bartender noticed and actually followed us out to our car just to give us a sarcastic thumbs-up. Completely inappropriate, uncomfortable, and beyond unprofessional. Save your time and money. This place clearly has no standards for service or behavior. I will not be returning to the McAllen, Tx. location!

I'm not the first, last, and am among many who have been. I was once banned for 3 days because I parked to eat across the street (Diego's farm to table has little parking and the owner himself is an awesome guy, and supports the establishment himself to boot!)... it was a Sunday before 8 so kareoke hadn't even started so trust me when I say the entire time I was parked there (out of the way might I add) the lot was never more than 1/24th full. I went the following Monday and before I signed up told me about their little ban. Also depending on the bartender you will be charged almost 3x for the same drink. Literally never order from anyone you feel you don't even remotely vibe with or they will charge you almost TRIPLE! I have this particular drink I order and it's wild how they will just upcharge you just to upcharge you my mistake is I still tip 20% like an idiot! I've also been cut off while sober multiple times it's strange. My general advice is don't be a regular. In conclusion management has a particular character but still among the best places to blow off steam... until you're banned.
