    Cabecita
    Claudia P.

    Went in looking for nostalgia; left with taste of disappointment. My family and I have been coming to this place since I was a kid and it was in Reynosa. We were so excited when it opened up in McAllen just north of the expressway. We weee sad when that location closed. It was our go to for a fancy cabrito dinner. Imagine our excitement when we heard it opened up on north 10th! We decided to go on a Tuesday because the menu online said they had cabecita 2 for 1 on Tuesdays. We arrived after lunch rush but pre dinner and it wasn't busy at all. 1st disappointed, they didn't have limonada. We were shown their very small menu which did not indicate the Tuesday special so I asked about it. Waiter said they no longer had that special because that picture of the old menu was 11 months old (2nd disappointment). We ordered 3 cabecitas anyway because that's what we came here for and everything was more expensive than what we had seen. While we waited for the meal, we ate the chips. Normally, they serve the corn chips with one toasted flour tortilla but not this time. The whole toasted tortilla was corn too and the chips were stale (disappointment 3). We asked for some different salsas and 2 were brought but none were that traditional smoked salsa or the red one (you know which ones if you frequent cabrito places). Disappointment number 4. Usually you get served a simple salad and ranchero beans but there was no salad and the beans were salty. (D5) The cabecitas arrived and were as we remembered. The rice served on the patilla was a weird touch because it got a little burnt but it was ok. The service was slow too even though there were only 3 tables seated and us (a party of 3). I know you can't go home again, but we were disappointed. We had always loved this place. We will be going to the other cabrito restaurant in town because we receive better service there.

    This is my new go to place for breakfast !! I have yet to try their dinner but the breakfast was AMAZING and so authentic !!! On top of their breakfast bar you can also order eggs to order and even add things how you like! They even have menudo on week days, which is a big plus because most Mexican places only serve this dish on weekends . I'm sad I didn't get our servers name because he was great and always refilled my coffee as soon as I finished (I am a huge coffee person so I loved never running out of coffee as I'm having my breakfast). They also have other non Mexican breakfast options like cereal , oatmeal , pastries , fruit and yogurt ! Definitely worth trying!

    The ranch we got when my sister asked for a little more dressing. As you can see we had to bring out the bottled water!!

    Had dinner for four and the food was great. We like the feel and look of the place. The wait staff did a good job of checking on us.

    Absolutely no flavor with cabrito. Not grilled it was like eating boiled chicken. Not worth the money. DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY.

    Este lugar es el mejor lugar para mariscos en el Valle. Los mariscos son frescos y las porciones…read moreson de buen tamaño por el precio. Tienen especiales en la hora de lonche y su consomé esta lleno de trozos de pescado y camarones. Eso si, cuidado con la salsita de habanero que esa sí que pica. El servicio siempre ha sido excelente y si tienes suerte hasta hay mariachi en los fines de semana. Así que si te gustan los mariscos, ven y disfruta de un cóctel de camarones o unos filetes de pescado. No te vas a arrepentir. Y no te olvides de probar su limonada con pepino! Posdata: El domingo pasado mis padres fueron a disfrutar de unos especiales de lonche. Mi mamá, como siempre, no se acabó los 3 filetes que vienen con la orden pues se llenó con el caldo. Pidió una cajita para llevárselos pero se le olvidó llevársela y la dejó sobre la mesa. En rumbo a casa se dieron cuenta y regresaron al restaurante. Mi papá se bajó a preguntar por la caja y la mesera le informó que la acababa de tirar a la basura. Entendemos que no pueden guardar comida por horas, pero ellos regresaron en cuanto se dieron cuenta en el camino a casa (tampoco vivimos lejos de allí). Solamente lo incluyó como una sugerencia que por favor esperen un poquito antes de botar a la basura un contenedor para llevar por si el cliente regresa por la comida que ya pagó. Gracias.
