This place was awesome. I mean there's hundreds of taco places in this area but our friend picked…read morethis one and it was so good. It's a small joint so you order at the counter and find a seat. We walked in with a large group but they were very accommodating and made space for us to sit together. Hubby and I got 5 tacos each and it was my first time having "Bistek" (beef steak) and they were delicious! They give you a small cup of beans on the side and it had these small chunks of pork in them. They made our food pretty quickly and everything was made correctly. We devoured every last bit and I wanna go back!

This is the standard I set all the Trompo tacos at, and yes, it's a very high bar…read more "El Pingüino" sits right in the main plaza in Reynosa, as most of you may already know. They bring out a paper-menu and a pencil, you simply fill in how many orders you want, Trompo tacos are singles, though. Been eating here since I can remember, not much has changed inside. And the food is just stellar every time. Trompo is super tender and full of flavor, authentic. Red salsa and limes are a must. I also order the "Bistec con Queso" a sort of Philly-cheese taco without the peppers. It is phenomenal! Seasoning on point, cheese is rich and creamy. And the tortilla is the star of the show, honestly. You can put any meat on those tortillas and you'll have a beautiful taco. Can't wait to stop by again on my next vacation, maybe in the summer, God willing.

So I gave the Vagoncito Chilango in McAllen 2 stars...this place deserves just 1. I usually take…read morepics of my meal...but nothing to highlight here, sorry! I went for lunch and had a regular hamburger with french fries and a soda (can) for near $11. I don't mind paying for an $11 burger...but give me some quality meat folks. I will be honest...it felt like the low-grade quality patty available at stores that has heart mixed into it. It had a really soft texture to it...and no flavor to it. The buns were barely toasted... They give you the condiments so you can dress the burger yourself...but the bottles have no tops to them. On my ketchup bottle, on the tip, there was a dried up seed from who knows what. I can say I added plenty of ketchup, mustard, and mayonnaise to my burger...but none of those flavors came through. On the bright side...they gave me a side of beans even though I ordered a burger. The beans were tasty...and the fries were crisp and piping hot. But every time I poured ketchup on them, the dried up seed on the bottle kept staring at me. As far as service...I was the only one there during that time. The waitress took my order... brought out my food...and see you later. She was replaced with another one, and the new one didn't even bother to check on me. I don't mind paying $11 for a nice juicy burger...but it's definitely not here.

For the price of the tacos , it was not worth the drive. The tacos lacked flavor we ordered the…read morealambre plate that was supposed to make about 8-10 tacos. We had more onion and bell pepper than what you want on your tacos. The papa was your average, nothing special nothing great. Our total was $35dlls for two people !! Honestly for tacos that's a lot. Ohhh and if you decide to go, make sure to say no to the beans that they " offer" when you are about to sit down. Those are not complimentary and they don't tell you that they will be charged until you get the bill. You are talking about a small little cup of beans for about $2. And they aren't that great. If you want to use the restroom, make sure to take someone with you. The restrooms are outside way in the back of the restaurant where it is dark and shady.

Taqueria El Pio Original De Reynosa…read more I grew up eating these tacos. 20+ years of experience. They are made of carne asada and are served in corn or harina. They Aldo have tostadas, beans, and have Mexican Coca-Cola and a variety of Topo- Chico flavors. They have great pico de gallo and salsas. I recommend for people to try their Cebolla Preparada, which is red onion with some chile mixture (can't remember the name of the chile at the time) They are new to the area & don't know much about social media. BUT believe me when I say they are a must HAVE! Open till late for those of you hitting downtown McAllen.
