Excellent food. Good service. Menu is interesting and diverse. A nice little brunch place.

HOLY SHIT!! I dream of this place, and I anticipate the day I go back to enjoy a FULL-MENU experience! My husband and I ran into this place when we were visiting McAllen; it reminded us of local Houstonian places of the same caliber. The chilaquiles I had were one of the best I've had in Texas; and the mimosas were too, it wasn't bogged down with fake additives, this place added freshly- squeezed fruit juice (who even does that anymore?). Our server was soooooo patient and sweet as we navigated through the menu, wanting to try every piece of heaven from this place. We loved that the kitchen was "open-concept" and we could see the chefs LIVE & UPFRONT--but the place is small, so be ready to wait, but SO WORTH IT! Traveling to McAllen soon just for this place read more

The restaurant is quaint, clean and open. The server was friendly and provided good service. I was a bit disappointed with the menu selection, the few options, although sounded good, were just a few and most spicy. Which is great if you eat spicy food but not if you don't. I had the steak and eggs as a process of elimination. The dish was good and steak very tender. But again, for me, the menu was lacking. read more

My mother and I came here for brunch. We had the omelette and the croissant with prosciutto. Both had ricotta cheese in it. They were really good except that the lettuce was really off half of our lettuce was kinda yellow . It was a huge turn off. We just picked them out and ate the rest. The staff were nice and have checked on us a few times. The place was clean and table/chairs were stable. Theres a lot of natural light which is super nice. They do not have decaf coffee options. Parking is free and out front . I'll still come here again because that croissant was really good but there needs some work to be done regarding the leafy greens. read more

I can't say enough good things about this hidden gem! If you're looking for a healthy yet authentic Mexican breakfast/brunch, this is the spot. From the moment we walked in, the warm and inviting atmosphere set the tone for an amazing meal. The coffee was definitely gourmet. Service was friendly and attentive, and you can tell the staff takes pride in the food and experience they provide. Whether you're a local or just passing through, this place is a must-visit for a wholesome, flavorful Mexican brunch. Can't wait to come back! read more

Stopped in for brunch. The service and the atmosphere are excellent. It's a cute little brunch spot and everyone there was so nice. Started with the dragonfruit mimosa, which was nice chance from traditional but would probably get the traditional next time. The omelet had decent flavor and great presentation but lacked a bit on the flavor. The veggies were extra crunchy as well which took away from the omelet. The banana bread looked great, but the taste from the oven or warmer was stuck to it.. as if you could taste everything else that was warmed up before it, quite a bummer. Would maybe come back and try different dishes because the staff and atmosphere were 5/5 but the food left a lot to be desired. read more

My only review is this place is small and gets crowded! I wandered in on a Sunday and it was packed with brunching friends. There was a long line of reservations and walk ins that couldn't really be accommodated. The wait was over an hour and ordering to go was an option but decided to come back another day to enjoy the full experience. Takeaway: CALL AHEAD read more

Went for weekend brunch. The service was good. Very cute restaurant. It's cozy and perfect for catching up with friends. I ordered the banana bread toast. I enjoyed it but perhaps it might be too sweet for some. The consistency sort of reminded me of bread pudding. Overall experience was pleasant. read more

It's a cute place but the food was mediocre especially for the price. I had the crispy chilaquiles thinking it would be like traditional chilaquiles and to my surprise it was 3 tostadas stacked on each other. It came with roasted poblano but the menu didn't specify that it also had onions cooked and raw which I'm not a fan of. I find it annoying when a menu doesn't specify on certain ingredients. My friend ordered some breakfast burrito that also didn't specify that it came with avocado which she's allergic to. When she brought it up to the waitress attention, the waitress replied with "it' says it on the menu" so we asked for the menu and it was in fact not on the menu. Like I said it's a cute environment but I personally wouldn't go back. read more

restaurants checks off the box of modern and organic glimpse but unfortunately the food did not have flavor. Plate presentation was great. Drinks were good and desserts also good. Service was horrendous. Waitress and assisting waitress were not cordial, not attentive and extremely curmudgeon in all of their actions towards the customer. read more

The food was absolutely delicious, unfortunately the service was the ABSOLUTE WORST! Paloma, our waitress was unprofessional and lacked common courtesy. It took almost 30 min to get our drinks, and did not come to check up on us. This was not the issue, we asked to get our bill and waited another 10 min as we made eye contact to get her attention. We had to ask her manager to get us the check after 15 min of waiting. Paloma then goes off and flick us off as her manager was speaking to her addressing her lack of service to our table of only 4, granted this was before we even spoke to the manager. As a customer seeing this is NOT OK!!! It's a shame that the experience trumped the delicious food. Our friends that invited us to Bonhomia have been here and said they had previous bad experiences with Paloma, this issue needs to be addressed. If your looking to celebrate or have a good experience, take your money elsewhere... The valley has some amazing restaurants, don't waist your time or money at this establishment! read more

I visited Bonhomia for lunch and it did not disappoint. I went with a large group without a reservation and the staff was very accommodating. I ordered the red chilaquiles; they're served on tostadas drenched with salsa. This was a different experience to the chilaquiles I've eaten before, but the tostadas cut easily. The dish was too watery for my liking, but the chilaquiles were still tasty. They also have desserts - I tried the matcha brownie which was absolutely delicious! read more

The good: this small hidden gem has a great ambiance and absolutely picture perfect pastries. We went in for brunch and ordered the madam croque which I have to admit was just ok. We also had the chilaquiles rojos and those were uniquely plated and flavorful. They offered chilaquiles rojos, blancos or negros all varying in sauce and protein. The bad: the place is small so if you go in a busy hour the waits are long. Staff was ok maybe just a off day which is understandable. The ugly: we skipped tasting the lovely looking pastries but we will definitely be back! read more

I've been wanting to come to this place since 2 Mother's Days ago, and I finally got the chance this year. I actually wanted to go for the pastry desserts, but I'm so glad I didn't go just for that. My family & I went during Brunch. We started with a basket of sweet & savory bread. I love bread & it was well worth it. It was a mix of savory bread with butter & jam, plus sweet breads such as carrot cake, & a buttery sweet almond bread, sooo good! I then ordered the BLT, which has to be the BEST BLT I've ever had. The bacon was pralined along with a little bit of a kick of that amazing serrano aoioli in it & the dried tomatoes gave it the perfect zing. It was amazing. The other dishes we had were the grilled salmon on the Bok Choy Salad, in which the honey soy glaze on it married the dish together, it was sweet & salty mix. Another was the white chilaquiles, which were very good & tasty with the white sauce & manchego cheese covering it & made it delicious. The bits of the Chicharrones in the chilaquiles were quite the treat. Yum! And, the last dish was the pesto avocado toast, which was a fresh taste in every bite. It was a delicious experience. The service was friendly. good & attentive. It's a small place, so now I know why you need reservations, besides the food being delicious. The ambiance is comfortable. That Saturday I went, they had a great singer who was playing the guitar, but I don't know if he was with the restaurant or with the group next to us who was celebrating their kids communion. The guy was really good. It is a MUST visit. You know, I went for desserts, but with everything I ate. I had no room for dessert, so. I will have to go back to taste those delicious desserts they have in the showcase. I will be back! read more

We went there for brunch and were pleasantly surprised. The waiters were courteous and fast and the food was amazing. We couldn't stop eating. We ordered a basket of savory and sweet breads and mimosas to start. The breads and cakes were beautiful and delicious and we specially liked the fig jam that came on it. For the entree I had the cilantro and pistachio soup. My husband had the BLT. Our friends had the mushrooms and oyster soup and the madame croquet. It was truly an amazing experience and we wish we lived in McAllen to be able to come back often. read more

Was visiting McAllen for work, and was looking for a breakfast/brunch place. Bonhomia catched my attention based on the menu they have. Let's just say I am glad I went. This place is clean, hip, has friendly staff and the food was great. I had the Sourdough Salmon that was delicious, but nothing special or unique. On the other hand..... Black Chilaquiles were AMAZING. Tons of delicious sauce, fresh tostadas, and perfectly cooked egg. Highly recommend. I could eat that every day. For dessert, I had their pistachio macaroon. It was so fresh and delicious to the point I finished it up in 2 bites. Service was phenomenal. Rebecca was super attentive, friendly, and knowledgeable, considering she had just started there. Thank you for the great experience and recommendations. read more

This was our second trip from Harlingen to eat at this lovely restaurant. The Pitaya Pineapple Mimosa alone is worth the trip but the food and pastries....mmmmmmm! The Oyster Mushroom soup was heavenly! For our entrees, I enjoyed the Duck and Potatoes while my husband enjoyed the Black Chilaquiles and both were scrumptious! The Orange Pineapple juice my husband ordered was freshly squeezed and he loved it. Their pastries are absolutely gorgeous and just as delectable! A couple of reviewers have given it low ratings because of portion size. These portions are perfectly normal sized entrees for adults so don't be dissuaded from trying this awesome restaurant. In fact, we have leftovers each time and get to enjoy it the next day! P.S. Take some of those incredible pastries home for later! read more

Their food and atmosphere were fantastic, this place has so much potential and I will definitely be back to give them another chance. For now though 3 stars is all I can give because the one time we have been here the service was horrendous. Now I am pretty lenient when it comes to service. I understand that it can be hard to do with lots of customers and possibly not enough staff. This instance was however so bad that it ruined my whole experience and left me just wanting more. First of all when we walked in there was a 30 minute wait, which is fine I understand that you have to wait. During this time they asked us if we would like some drinks in the meantime. We gladly accepted and ordered some mimosas. We never saw this waitress again. We looked for her and tried to ask but we're unsuccessful. Finally we asked another server and he told us the original waitress just forgot. When they finally returned to ask take us to our table we received our drinks and got to take them back with us. After sitting at the table it took us having to wait almost 15 minutes and flagging someone down again to come get our order. By this time we were really hungry so we ordered coffee and our food at the same time. We then did not see the waiter again until he arrived some 20 minutes later with both our coffee and food. Now to me this was weird because I wanted my coffee so I could drink it and wait for my food. Possibly get some refills, but this did not end up being the case. I don't know if this was on purpose but I'm tempted to say it was not and am treating it as such. When we finally got all our food everything was delicious and the chef even came over to ask us about it personally which was a nice personal touch. Like I said this place is cute and the food was really tasty, but they need to step up their service and not let people feel as forgotten as we did. I would like to give them a second chance though and will hopefully be able to update my review at a later time. read more

Bonhomia - French Toast - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - McAllen, Texas

This place is beautiful and the perfect spot for brunch with friends and family. The food is delicious, the cocktails and mixed drinks are refreshing, and best of all (because I have a sweet tooth) are the AMAZING desserts. The customer service was wonderful! I was appreciative of how all the servers worked together to refill water, bring entrees to the table, pick up dirty plates and took care of everyone's needs. I would only recommend bringing out individual entrees when they're done because some family members received cold food; the flavors were there, but would taste even better if the food was hot. There was a small issue at the end with splitting the bill 50/50 on their portable credit/debit card machine. The total amount due was verbally told to us but when splitting the bill on the machine, the autommated gratuity was shown twice. Ex: 101 + 39 (gratuity). It seemed like the total bill would be $202 as food with $78 gratuity. The servers were very understanding of our confusion and brought the tablet over to show the total amount due matched what we were being charged. That simple clarification was all that was needed, total gratuity was only $39. This was my first visit here and I would recommend this to anyone wanting to enjoy a beautiful atmosphere with delicious food and drinks. read more

This place is really cool. Ambiance is fun. Especially on weekends for brunch. Lots of mimosa options so just go and day drink. Service is great.

Bonhomia - Salmon toast - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - McAllen, Texas

This restaurant is a gem in the Valley. I absolutely recommend everyone try this spot out for brunch. And make your reservations because this place should be blowing up when more people try it out. The chef is grand. She even came out to greet her customers - very professional, kind, and genuine. Okay, let's talk about the food. The must tries (in order of flavor) include the chilaquiles and pork rind tacos. Oh. My. Gosh. That sauce. I could drink that all day. If you go, whether you're vegetarian or not, you MUST get it. Their more Americanized dishes are good but not quite as good as these. Even folks at the tables next to ours were getting these dishes. The nutty French toast was also delicious but not enough to make the top of the list. The worst dish by far was the avocado toast. I know! But it's so basic! The avocado and toppings were good. But the "toast" was not really toasted and was like 2 inches thick. Whhhhhyyyyy??? So if there is one thing you should save your money on to order a pastry later, it's the avocado toast. The other three items are a good way to make your belly happy. Don't expect your food to look like all the images online. That was one thing that disappointed me. They could make this place top notch with the use of their clay dining ware. If they would lean more into that aesthetic of traditional Mexican ware mixed with hipster vibes and contemporary pastries, this place would be the bomb. But do expect the taste to be excellent. It's also a cute shop. There's a wall inside that's perfect for Instagram posts and the pastries and food are all of Instagram quality. This is great for a girls day out, a moms brunch, or a cute date. Guys and ladies, if you want to crush a first date option, this is the place. If you want to take your mom out to a nice brunch, this is the place. Win win! read more

I would give a 2.5 stars. The presentation was pretty good. The taste of the food was just ok. My black chilaquiles were barely warm and I'm one of those people that likes their food hot.

Atmosphere: Pretty Food: Delicious Price: okay~ Service: eh but they just opened so free pass First of all their goat cheese passion fruit tart was amazing and very interesting. I love their creativity and it worked. The food was delicious. We got a croque madam and it was 5/5 along with the tart. The service was lackluster for such a small establishment. Forgot to bring us our dessert and our check for a while even though the place is not packed. There are literally 4 people working the front of the restaurant and there are only 10 tables in the place and they still managed to make us feel forgotten - not just once, but on several occasions. It's average priced for a higher end brunch place. In summary: food is great desserts are amazing. This would be a 5/5 review if the service wasn't so unorganized. Because they just recently opened, I'm sure the service will improve in time As they have only been open for about 3 weeks. read more

Bonhomia - This delicious breakfast croissant is to die for. You can't leave out the potatoes and the spicy dressing on the side. - Breakfast & Brunch Near Me - McAllen, Texas

Came here for a brunch with the GF and we really liked the interior decorations and atmosphere. Bonhomia gives you big city downtown vibes and their food prices are reflective of that. Also, the service here is pretty hit or miss because we had to wait over 10 minutes for a waitress to take our drink order, while other tables had someone take their order almost immediately. I went with the coconut horchata, which was very refreshing and not too sweet! I enjoyed the cinnamon ice cubes, which was a very unique addition to the drink. If you're a fan of horchata, then I highly recommend for you to try it out. We ended up ordering the Croque madame and red chilaquiles. The Croque madame was huge and the brioche bread melted in your mouth. The fried egg was a nice addition to the dish and the yolk was runny! Unfortunately, the red chilaquiles were a bit disappointing. The fried corn tortillas were way too oily and didn't add much value to the dish at all. The tomato sauce was underseasoned and bland. Honestly, the best thing about the red chilaquiles was the chorizo bits sprinkled throughout the tomato sauce and fried egg on top. In my opinion, the food at Bonhomia is lackluster, but the inviting interior atmosphere creates great opportunities for Insta-worthy photos. They also have a large glass display case of various cakes and pastries, which may be worth a shot if you have a sweet tooth. read more

If you want to take some cute pictures with friends while grabbing a bite, this is the place! There's a swing inside and outside. The decor is great. The food looked good but I didn't eat here. Food also doesn't look filling which is why I decided to eat somewhere else. I was going to eat here for breakfast but I was starving and I would have needed to order two plates to fill up. I wasn't about to spend close to 30 for breakfast. Maybe another day. I only had their Matcha Latte. I really liked it, it's a good serving size. It was $5.41 for the drink. My girlfriend ordered an Americano with a croissant donut and she raved about it but it's really small. If I'm in town again, I'll try their food but if I'm in the mood for a small bite. Restrooms are clean and nice! Parking wasn't an issue on a Friday early afternoon. read more
