Our daughter's food came out before ours ! Perfect! They fell in love with the Empanadas! As for my wife and I, we ordered Bife con Hueso. Words can't describe how delicious it was, with the chimi churi ! Cooked to perfection, with the right amount of flavor. Mad props to the chef. And presentation 10/10.

I initially began going…read morein to indulge in their unique beer selection, but over time began to learn more about their other offerings. This place is home to what I firmly believe to be the most eclectic and beautifully curated wine selection in South Texas. Each time I walk through the door, I find myself learning a little more and diving a little deeper into a world of grapes and glass. The staff have been extremely welcoming and are always eager to share any info or answer any questions I might have. The ever rotating selection along with the amazing music and friendly faces make it my favorite spot to frequent. Every visit reminds my how truly fortunate we are to have a gem like this in McAllen.

We decided to try a new place while we were in town - glad we did!…read more The place has a bit of an upscale vibe but folks were dressed from dressed up to somewhat casual. Our server was Sublany and she was awesome. Very personable and her recommendations were spot on. We decided to start with the Calamari with sun dried amogio. The calamari were large and prepared perfectly. The sun dried amogio was amazing - great flavor and some heat - the perfect pairing with the calamari. Great start! We tried the soup of the day which was something we'd never heard of much less eaten. It was a green bean soup - the beans were puréed with cream, some cheese and red pepper flakes. We weren't sure how it would taste by Sublany highly recommended it so we went for it. It was really good - the flavor was subtle but great; nice and creamy. We would definitely order it again. For our entrees my wife tried the salcicce which was pappardelle, fennel sausage, roasted red bell pepper, marinara, caprino and red pepper flakes. It was also very good - the pasta was prepared perfectly and the flavors all worked very well - another hit. I selected the lamb chops which were frenched lollipops, blue cheese cream and an arugula salad. The chops were perfectly prepared and the blue cheese cream on top was amazing - made very good chops excellent. The arugula salad also had a great flavor. I would also order this again. For dessert we decided to share a Hand Pie which was an apple pie with caramel drizzle and ice cream. The texture of the dough was great and the apples had a great cinnamon flavor which worked well with the caramel drizzle and the vanilla ice cream. This place was great! I would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a bit more upscale than the run of the mill restaurants!

I opted for the pesto pasta, which was expertly prepared and complemented by Isabella's signature mango cocktail. My friend enjoyed the rosemary chicken and pasta, accompanied by a Paloma cocktail, which Isabella had recommended. Both dishes were equally delectable. To conclude our culinary journey, we indulged in the exquisite desserts of crème brûlée and coconut crème pie. The ambiance of the restaurant, enhanced by the soothing music, provided a perfect respite from the demands of a long workday. My friend and I thoroughly enjoyed our time at Liam's and were eager to return. Isabella's attentive service and cheerful disposition made her an invaluable asset to the establishment.

Warm beer funny tasting margaritas but good food and the great band. Our friends refused to pay the cover charge and didn't come in. Seven workers for just the wife and I. We spent $50. I saw several people come in but turned around at the cover charge window. Third time late April 2026 we had twelve people coming but they all went somewhere else because of the cover charge. No one wants to go to a bar for a drink or two (or more) if they have to pay to get in the door. Three of us still went to hear the band but they said they cancelled all the happy hour bands because of poor attendance. Surprise, surprise. Oh and the time just the wife and I were there, it took 25 minutes to get our drinks after we ordered. The first time I rate a five second time a one third time a zero.
