Not only was the staff super helpful, friendly and incredibly welcoming, but the food was also delicious. I started with the brown lentil soup and the orange cauliflower appetizer. Both were very flavorful and delicious. My main dish was the coconut chickpea curry. I ate the entire thing. It was so good. I ended up buying some vegan sweets to go as well some chia overnight oats to eat in the morning before I fly out. As a newly plant based dieter, I will be surviving off FoodAMed whenever I am in town. Five stars! read more

FoodAMed - Like I said, nachos were great. - Vegan Near Me - Mcallen, Texas

So happy to find this gem. Beautiful space and the food is delicious. I had the lentil burger and inhaled it in 5 minutes. Can't wait to try more on my next visit! read more

The 1st time I went for lunch I was unaware that while the food is plant based, the sauces are purchased from the local club grocery stores. These sauces are so salty and unhealthy. :(. I thought that cauliflower and dipping sauces would be over the moon, sadly this dish was not finished after the first taste. :( The spaghetti was over boiled. The burgers with sweet potato fries is the better option. The buns are from a local bakery and delicious! Will I be going back? Sadly, the answer is no for lunch and dinner. Maybe for breakfast. I haven't tried the breakfast and the menu sounds yummy! read more

FoodAMed - Spaghetti and Meatless Balls-wouldn't recommend. :( - Vegan Near Me - Mcallen, Texas

WOW is all I can say. I've been searching for vegan spots while visiting the RGV for the weekend and FoodAmed popped up as one of the highest rated ones. I decided to give it a try and called in my order, the lady on the phone was super nice. I sent my mom to pick it up and she came back with a Can't Beet That burger, nachos, cauliflower wings, a juice with turmeric in it, and a little pan cake. It was all SO GOOD. What I loved about this food at the that it tastes like you're eating real food not fake meats and fake cheeses. My favorite item that I ordered was the Can't Beet That burger. The texture was SO good! I was also impressed by the founder of this restaurant and her mission. This type of eatery is greatly needed in this part of Texas. read more

Loved it! I ate there twice while working in McAllen and each time the food was delicious!

I came to McAllen for work and it was hard to find a vegetarian dish anywhere, much less vegan! You can imagine my relief when I found Foodamed! I live in L.A. and travel for work so I have eaten at hundreds of vegan restaurants across the country and this place was top tier! Everything I ate was delicious and so flavorful, but what I loved most was that you can tell it was homemade using fresh wholesome ingredients ! I loved that they make their own meat and patties instead of the easy route like beyond or impossible. And they have a convenient market section with pre-made meals and desserts. I was able to stock up on food that I can easily heat up in my hotel room for the rest of my trip! I especially loved the black beans, the mac & cheese and the jalapeño burger! The bun was healthy and homemade with a delicious chipotle sauce on the side. Don't sleep on this place! read more

On the fence about this place. It's great to see more Vegan places opening up in the Valley , so that is a plus. Decor is not great. As another reviewer said, it does have a Mall Food Court Vibe. It has a section of books and Vegan goods which was interesting and a grab and go section. I had their cucumber, ginger, lime drink which was very delicious and refreshing, especially on a hot day. Then their mock tuna salad. Visually it was not very appealing - it was basic greens, 4 cherry tomatoes, then the 'tuna' on top like a sauce. But it was very tasty and I did enjoy it. It has some kind of seasoning that I could not pin point but it was great! The piece that was odd was at the end. The waitress brought us the bill and said - you don't have to tip but if you do, I prefer the tip in cash'!! I could not tell if she was joking or not, but it was just uncomfortable and as it was a business lunch, I tipped via the credit card as I always so, as I never have cash on me. It was just unexpected and weird. Would go back but likely to take out read more

I haven't had the pleasure of eating at this establishment. I was just browsing through possible healthy eateries and found a delicious menu. read more

I'm visiting in this town and I was concerned that I will not find vegan food. For my surprise I found this place and I ordered the noodles dish. It's the best vegan noodle dish I ever had in my life. Great cold pressed juices. Great staff and atmosphere. Definitely I'll come again every time I'm coming to this town. read more

This place is very laid back and the service is great and the workers and very kind great place to get some food and kick back with friends 10/10 :) read more

1st time visiting and it was a very nice experience. Portion sizes were generous and the atmosphere was warm and inviting. The service staff was attentive and really cared about your dinning experience. If you're thinking about it I would highly suggest stopping by and giving it a try. read more

My DH and I aren't vegan but we have different dietary stuff that always has us on the lookout for good vegan food. We've been wanting to try this place forever and finally did. We ordered the spicy black bean burger, Mediterranean plate (falafel pita), and cauliflower wings. We were disappointed We've had better black bean burgers, better falafel, better hummus.. I will say the ppl are SUPER nice and really want to make sure you're happy. The food just wasn't as good as we wanted it to be. We will probably try one more time and order different things, in case it was our choices. I'll update then. read more

The food was lack luster to say the least. The service was terrible and when asking for the sides the waiter did not disclose that they were an additional 5 dollars in addition to the 18 dollar entree. And with the bad service they as well did not disclose automatic gratuity leading to an ADDITIONAL 18 dollar tip to a waiter that refilled a cup once or twice with poor manners. The restaurant it self had lightly comparable to a subway satiation. read more

Service was really good! Drinks were cute and delish! Had the cauliflower wings different but tasty. (small portion) (but the waiter brought out a little more to make up for it)The nachos w everything were tasty and the wrap was ok and a lil pricy in my opinion. We received the wrong check and still had to pay for the meal and were told we would get a call still haven't received one but it is still the same day so I might get one later. ***received a call (same day too) Happy will return! Thanks FoodAmed! read more

Delicious! Everything is made in house and was fantastic. All the employees were very friendly, helpful and patient with answering all my questions. Definitely recommend the beet burger and the cucumber ginger lime drink. In addition to the seating area there is also a small shop with vegan and health products. Some great looking stuff there. Will be back when I am in town next! read more

Well done! I know the restaurant focus, and name, are all Vegan...but you need to know that equals yummy! The menu is diverse, a few spicy dishes, a few not. Our waiter was extremely helpful in explaining our many options. We will be back to work (eat ) our way thru the menu pages! I highly recommend y'all do, too! read more

I'm visiting my mom from California and I'm so happy to see a vegan place in the valley. When I came last in 2017 there was slim pickings when it came to vegetarian food, much less vegan. We got the botana sampler plate and the foodamed nachos. Food was great and flavorful. My mom isn't vegan and she enjoyed it very much. We also had the pleasure of meeting the owner Dr. Cooper and the manager Sandy. Thank you for everything! read more

Let me start off by saying this place is very interesting, and I'll be honest, I'm not the biggest fan of strip mall dining. But I needed some good vegan eats and this place had pretty solid reviews. Me and my buddy came here the other day for dinner, and the first thing we noticed was the layout. It had a southeast Asian vibe with the decor, design and detail. The staff was very friendly, especially the chef and owner. I ordered the cauliflower wings and a tex mex burrito, my buddy had the posole and the hummus plate. The cauliflower wings were very tasty and came in a medley of flavors of buffalo, bbq and orange chicken. The Tex-Mex burrito was really tasty! Had all the components of a great burrito. My buddy enjoyed his hummus plate and soup as well. I will say their ranch could be better, I think it's too watered down. It needs a thickening agent. Other than that, it's a solid option for vegans in this part of the country. read more

Went here for brunch, loved the atmosphere. Very clean place so was not worried about COVID. Had the FoodAmed nachos & chck'n Waffles. Super tasty, definitely coming again read more

FoodAMed - Foodamed Nachos - Vegan Near Me - Mcallen, Texas

Just started a vegan diet and it's been difficult to find many places to eat at. Luckily I found this gem and the food was delicious. The vegan nacho cheese is very tasty, doesn't even seem like it's vegan. I had the Tex Mex veggie wrap and I was not disappointed at all. It is so full of flavor that you forget it's vegan. I will definitely be coming here more often to enjoy the rest of their food. read more

My husband and I decided to finally stop in and try FoodAMed. We had seen that other reviewers had said it was reasonable and good. To our surprise it was like walking into a funeral home with the music. Then we looked at the menu and got our food. DISGUSTING!! My mock tuna sandwhich had no flavor but onion. It was like eating baby food! My husband's tex mex wrap had no flavor messy and fell apart in his hand. He couldn't even put the avocado on because the wrap was not holding up. Then we go to pay and they charge us $2 a glass of water that had lemon, cucumber, and mint! Really $2 for tap water!!?? We spend $31 on a meal that wasn't even worth it! Dont waste your time or money! read more

Delicious healthy option, great staff. Wonderful option for a yummy lunch that's a healthy choice.

I am not a vegan, but my friend who brought me lunch is, and I had the mushroom and spinach enchiladas that came with rice and black beans as a side. The food was delicious. Seasoned perfectly, and the portion was more than I could finish. I am gluten free and wish they offered this as an option with some of their meals as well. read more

The food wasn't that great for the exorbitant price. No wonder the place was almost empty. I did like the banana nut cookie, although, too expensive, not coming back. read more

Awesome service and so many vegan options. If you want a place where food is fresh and not frozen this is definitely the place. We ordered the Tex Mex veggie wrap and it was delicious. They have some many options everything from juices, smoothies, tamales, burgers a little bit of everything and let's not forget about desserts. read more

FoodAMed - Cauliflower Wings - Vegan Near Me - Mcallen, Texas

Food Ames is a very interesting place and more are needed in the area since is it highly populated with fast food greasy burger places. Foodamed is 100% vegan with an extensive menu ranging from breakfast and then lunch items ranging from appetizers to sandwiches, burgers and Mexican cuisine. Tried redeeming some of the offers Yelp has on them and that was a bit of a challenge, but they finally got it sorted so hopefully it's not such a big deal for the next diners. Food looks outstanding and because it was takeout I only ordered a couple of gluten free Jalapeño burgers with sweet potato fries. I'll have to come back and give dine in a try! read more

Came by for lunch and had the best Tex Mex food wow plus it's healthy. So I brought my family for Dinner. We tried the nachos, the waters, burger, stuff shells and the Tex Mex plate. read more

Good vegan food, prices are average 8$ per meal if you go for the monthly plan, employees are overwhelmed maybe due to pandemic. Don't expect fast service , main employees are nice but again overwhelmed. Try the pasta that's good if vegan very fulfilling read more

Came here with friends for lunch. The interior decor was cute and had a but of mall food court vibe. I had the nachos and pancit. The nachos were great! I'm not a fan of regular nacho cheese, but the vegan nacho cheese and chipotle sauce were amazing! Unfortunately, the pancit was too salty. I'm not sure if they forgot they added salt the first time and added more, but I couldn't even finish it. My friends had pretty good food however (Mocktuna Sandwich & Tofu Coconut Curry) and the staff were very friendly. I would recommend this place to anyone who wants to explore vegan food options, just make sure you mention if the food is too salty! read more

Loved it! Highly recommend this new and upcoming restaurant. Good food, welcoming atmosphere and an array of options. The parking lot was pretty empty but we figured the cold rainy weather had kept others away. Jordan was our waiter, he was friendly and very helpful. I went here with my mother who is neither vegan nor plant based, she ordered the Chile Relleno and I ordered the Pancit. My mother couldn't believe that the sauce on her plate wasn't cheese. She loved it and said she would return with my fathernd some friends soon. I really enjoyed the Pancit. It was very flavorful and had just the right amount of spice. Beats anything I've gotten at a local asian restaurant since becoming vegan. We also tried the cauliflower wings, which were uh-mazing! My only complaint is that there weren't more! The appetizer came with buffalo, bbq and I'm assuming sweet and sour wings. Loved the texture and flavor of all three but the BBQ was probably my favorite. If you're vegan, plant based, watching your salt intake and or looking for healthier options this is the place to go! read more

it's an amazing place , really. I love the nachos especially.. and it's fills my heart to see a vegetarian restaurant that's actually good. I would reccomend this to anyone, especially considering their plant based burgers are amazing. I love this place, will definitely start going more often again. read more

Food was so yummy. When it was time to pay we asked one of the managers for a box and she said something along the lines of she wouldn't be able to eat all the food we ordered . Nothing too bad but when we went to pay she was repeating our order and then said "TWO FRIES? " very loudly implying that we ordered too much. As a plus size woman it made me very uncomfortable. food was great but it made us hesitant to eat there again read more

Food is good, no complaints in that aspect. I didn't give a 5 star rating because I felt it was expensive for what it was. I support plant based restaurants as much as I can, but it's hard for me to accept inflated prices on vegan food. I'll still continue to support you guys, but unfortunately I won't be a frequent customer. read more
