On my "to do" list was an update for Kelly's on SPI for which I needed to tick off the box and…read moresaying "done." I gave it 2 stars several years ago because the service wasn't the greatest - far from it - and it was fairly quiet that night. Isn't it often that way? I went back to Kelly's Irish Pub because I believe it was more about the server and bartender that evening than it was about their regular modus operandi. I ordered the shepherd's pie and it was actually fairly decent. The service was definitely much better on this last go round. When on SPI, I usually don't return to places more than once during a stay unless I find it exceptional, it's a coffeehouse, or it's Whataburger with its great hours. However, one day I had planned to get lunch at another small eatery and it was easy to see that they were full and I'd have to wait a while. Having seen the daily specials at Kelly's, I went back for one of them. I got the fish and chips lunch platter and it was very good, not to mention a respectable value. The interior delivers with its thematic busy collection of Irish paraphernalia and its feeling of being like an old shoe. The customers seemed to be in a good mood. That could also in part be attributable to the service I encountered. Kelly's Irish Pub on SPI handily moves from 2 to 4 stars for providing a good mix of food, service, value, and atmosphere on two visits within a week. I really like their slate of lunch specials and, befitting a casual neighborhood sort of place, their friendliness is appreciated.

An Irish Pub that sells tacos? Unfair review you say? Maybe, but when the most Irish thing near the place is me and your menu can't get me in the door, it's bad. The two highest reviewers include Ken J. who probably owns the place (his only Yelp review which is this one and he likes their "good food" [Mexican]) and another who likes their (Mexican) Dos Equis beer and quesadillas. Just look at the business photo with empanadas and tortilla chips. Only in the Valley.......

We drove by during the day and the area did look a bit sketch...but we still went back the next night to try it out. We are so glad we did. They had fun themes with the drinks and a cool vibe. I have been to Barcelona, so I Loved the Las Ramblas theme and historical theme. Our lady bartender (darn, what was her name? She was so nice) was great. She came up with a special drink for my friend based on what my friend likes. I tried one of the specialty drinks. And the prices were great. Don't miss out. Cool place to visit and although they may still be improving the area, the clientele was definitely a good crowd and nothing scary about the location. And we ate next door.. tapas...delish!

The mimosa tower and the mini pancakes were my dessert !! There was some dancing and After a very satisfying breakfast we had a tequila, this a Mexican tradition to have it as a digestive not as a shot ! A nice surprise was that it was served with both lemon and oranges slides also very traditional in Mexican Restaurants ! So while in Mc Allen it's a must you go and visit !

If it were busy I get it but when there is only 2 tables in the restaurant come on. Yet when the men in suits walk in they waited not even a minute and had thier menus at the table.

My husband felt like we were being judged and treated like we didnt have money. Then when she brings us our change she is standing there waiting for the tip. I am a server myself and never treat guest based on how they are dressed and much less wait for a tip.

Called to add an extra chair to my reservation. Hostess. Was not helpful or offered suggestions…read more She was curt. And asked to keep reservation as is. Later I was able to fine another high end reservation for dinner And they were able to accommodate 5. Very graciously. Call Guerra and spoke to same hostess. She answered with hello.( guessing called ID) told her to cancel my reservation (with an explanation) .she was unprofessional/curt. My special night was almost ruined. If it wasn't for other high end restaurant. Why I'm adding this review? First impressions are are key to success. And since my party of 5 didn't dine at Guerra I can't comment on the food. Only my first impression. Which was unfavorable. Hostess lacked professionalism and terrible way of handling future patronage. ***MY REVIEW IS NOT ABOUT THE FOOD. IT'S FOR FIRST IMPRESSION BECAUSE IT ALL STARTS WITH THE HOST/HOSTESS. ***
