Still the best! Many years ago, I was brought to this location by some friends. They ordered strawberry and banana , cantaloupe , and I ordered the horchata. Absolutely love this place. read more

Hot day and in need of an ice cold Taro with boba drink! So good!!! Thank you taro root! Tea Rush Express has a small sliding window facing East from 10th street to take the orders, pay and pick up your cold drink. You'll almost miss the window as it's new and it's small not high reaching. I don't know if I even took a pic. The only negative is that if it's early you have to wait in the sun. But it's worth it! I've purchased the Taro Boba drink here a few times so I know! It earned five stars! And this taro drink isn't too sweet so it fits the bill! Enjoy your Sunday and stay safe during this Covid 19 virus. :) read more

As we arrived I could see the locale was small but well kept and clean. There is about 7 tables and can sit around 20, so hope you arrive when it isn't packed. This locale also doesn't have a drive thru, so you will have to get down if you just want one to go. They do offer free WiFi and the password is taped to the back of their computer monitor where they charge you. It's tearush168 if you need it. The lady at the counter treated us very high spirited. Though the enthusiasm was appreciated, when asked questions about what a certain choice was, she just told us it was very good and that we should try it. I am an adventurous kind, but I also need to know what something is in case of allergies or possible reactions. Overall, the taste of my beverage was good. I had a peach drink with cherry bubbles. As you drink the bubbles, they pop in your mouth and feel juicy, not chewy. Good first timer choice. read more

This lady at the counter is really nice! The Thai Milk Tea is amazing. The atmosphere is relaxing and they decided to play calm and classic music. It's a good place to have a meet-up with friends and family. read more

HORRIBLE CUSTOMER SERVICE. The lady taking the orders was VERY rude when asking her about two different drinks. (Hence it was my first time there) And she was also talking through a speaker, making it even more awkward for everyone to hear... I expected a better experience. The drink I ordered did not taste well either. read more

Coming from Houston, every time I visit the valley for my parents.. I always drop by Tea Rush. I have tried so many boba shops in Houston, San Antonio and Tea Rush is probably one of my top three places of not sitting in first. The owner is always in taking orders with the most pro service. She speaks clearly and always confirms your order. She offers suggestions and always smiling. The quality of the teas are always the same and rarely change. The boba is always cooked to perfection and teas are not overly sweet or lacking. The distinct flavors are there.. Making honeydew flavor one of my favorites here. It is hard to find the same amazing taste anywhere else. If you are a fanatic in trying boba teas and ever find yourself south of Texas-- make the stop at tea rush!! read more

Guess you can call me old fashioned??but I don't know what the rave is about Boba?? I just hear my younger family raving about it?? and yeah ok?? closest thing I can compare it to is what we did back in my day?? peanuts in a Pepper, 10-2-4!!!! But what got me coming here is the Matcha!! had been reading about the health benefits and hopefully they are true?? and at the same time I can treat my family to the Boba?? Very nice place!! clean!! friendly and attentive and a bit confusing as in I don't get the palm patio tables with the green and yellow?? I would expect green as in healthy with more reference as in positive benefits on tea products or yeah the palm with more of tropical prints or tropical scene?? or maybe its just me?? either way?? Im still going to go get my Matcha fix!! and Boba for the Gen Z!!! read more

This is my first time trying a tea place. So I had no clue what to expect as far as taste or options. Their menu is easy to choose from and the all the options sound delicious. They serve your tea in a 16oz or 24oz serving. I decided to try the "Coconut" tea with the "Passion"popping pearls and Oooooo...mmmmmm....ggggg!!!! It tastes phenomenal! I was totally caught off-guard. The creamy coconut combined with a popping sweet sensation at the end is such a rich and smooth experience. I love it!!!! The place is small but seems to have quite a following since there was a line even after the place closes. All tea orders after hours are only available to-go so the place can be cleaned up for the following day. I would extremely recommend this tea experience to anyone looking for a new adventure in taste. Come by any chance you get....it will knock your socks off. read more

I had been to this place at least 8 times and the waiting after you've made your order, has taken longer every TIME. The one that always takes the orders (Jennifer) forgot to make my order after I was waiting for 15 minutes, she then takes MORE orders and then asks if I was waiting for my order and finally goes and makes it. Very unprofessional and time consuming. But the drinks are a solid 8.5/10 read more

I tried their watermelon bubble tea. It was yummy and super sweet. There was opera music playing in the background, which was kind of weird and totally unexpected, but I dug it. Prices are regular, the place is very clean, and the decor is interesting---there are giant outdoor umbrellas on indoor tables. It'd be cool if they had outdoor seating, like MoonBeans, but maybe that's their future plan? I also tried their Japanese Green Tea smoothie with boba. It was just the right amount of sweet! Hands down favorite drink here so far. read more

I've been to numerous boba tea places and this is by far the best one I've been to, but then again I've only tried one flavor (way too many times), the spiced chai tea with boba! Trust me, it is DELICIOUS! Takes about 5-10 minutes for them to prepare your drink, but they have a lot of National Geographic magazines to kill time, also the establishment is always neat and very clean. I will definitely keep going back :) read more

The main problem here is the lady! Rude because I chose not to wear a mask... while I was outside. Keep in mind. Shes inside. The barrier is an inch think window. She cracks opens the 8x10 (approx size) window not even an inch which she close right away after every sentence. She did not want to take my order bc I was not wearing a mask. She asked me 2 or 3 times. I told her "I'm outside!" She eye signals the customers behind me who were next so she can take their order. I told her the lady I brought with me wanted to try her drinks. Had I come alone, would not have given her any business. Anyway, she completely ignores me like I wasnt there and talks to the lady I brought who doesnt speak english. She didnt want me to order for her, or pay. Lol. . So sad. Living in fear, so sad. I understand the pandemic but please, were not breathing same air. P.S. I came to McAllen to visit my family for Christmas. Im glad I moved to Abilene where I would rate 85% of stores at least feel like wearing a mask is optional, as should be. read more

First time coming to this tea shop. The shop and the cashier was very friendly. The environment is very nice but the jackfruit smoothie I got taste like water, like tasting milk and sugar combined. No flavor jackfruit. I thought it could be some real jackfruit flavor but it's not. Maybe I would be ok if they use jackfruit powder but literally this taste and no smell of anywhere near jackfruit flavor. I would recommend not to get the jackfruit smoothie. My bf has a blueberry smoothie, it's taste a bit better, though is very sweet and tarter taste. Would give that one 2/5. read more

Yay a second Tea Rush location! Perfect when I'm in this part of town, which was previously boba-less. The drinks are great and just as good as the original location on Shary Rd in Mission. The interiors are a step-up as well, even though the vibe is a bit weird to me. I suppose they are going for a tropical vibe with all those indoor umbrellas. An open umbrella indoors wouldn't go well with a superstitious Mexican but then again this is an Asian establishment. This new store is located in a little plaza with mostly Asian businesses (Filipino market, an Asian restaurant). There is also a doggy spa and a crossfit gym. I've seen many a crossfitter drop by for post-workout boba. Love Tea Rush and wish them well on their new location! read more

Tea Rush Express - Very bright kiwi green tea :) - Bubble Tea Near Me - McAllen, Texas

My daughter and I were here for about 40 minutes. Ordered boba with our drinks and when the time came for our drinks, after EVERYONE ELSE AFTER US got theirs WITH BOBA, the woman proceeds to tell us that they ran out of the boba. We waited about 35-40 minutes! And they didn't even save boba for our drinks before they ran out. I am very disappointed in this establishment and how they give out the drinks. Even if they forgot our drinks, at least save some boba on the side for those that did order it. Never coming back. read more

the consistency of the boba is so amazing omg bless fast service and kind workers. i have a friend that visited chinatown in canada, and he says the boba here is better :) read more

Used to love coming to this place when I lived here however now it's gotten run down. It used to be so clean and tidy and the drinks were true to their flavor. Now after recently going I saw the drastic change. I used to order a taro smoothie or green tea, this time I ordered lychee and it was pretty awful. It tasted like sugar water....the lychee flavor was very faint. My mom ordered the taro and I think it's better to have it as a smoothie instead of a milk tea because it tasted too chalky. Hardly anyone uses real taro so no surprise there but to mask that texture I'd stick to the smoothie. read more

My wife had the lavender milk tea and she said it was delicious! I wasn't sure what to have so I ordered a Green Mango smoothie with the Kiwi popping Pearls. Wow! To the best of my memory that was probably the best smoothie I have ever had! Felt like I tasted what a real smoothie should taste like! My wife and I have agreed that we would go here again! read more

The cashier was very rude. I can understand that I had a misunderstanding on what I was asking for but she didn't have to be rude. They also took 30min on something that should be "express". A customer walked in and out multiple times and her order was not ready. Instead of walking around aimlessly in the kitchen have your employees work together. They still have a Christmas tree with a tropical theme, faded posters. read more

...Don't lean on the counter or put your straw in your drink there. I don't think the lady likes it. Counter may be getting weak.

Great! I got the iced chai tea with Boba and it was sweet and delicious! Sister got the Passion fruit tea with Boba, she loved her tea but not the Boba. One thing that is a negative but easily fixable, we were there at 12:30pm on Saturday and the 2 ladies cane running behind us to let us know they were just opening up. So seems like they open late fyi. Inside was fine, its got about 5 tables (they use outside patio furniture which is fun). I will definitely go back! read more

This is the absolute best boba tea shop in the valley. The flavors are so delicious and the boba is perfect. My only complaint is on multiple occasion I have gone during open hours and they were closed. Very frustrating since I drive about twenty minutes to get there... if you go know that it may not open during hours they say they are open. read more

I love coming here to get something to drink. There's a wide variety of flavors along with different add in like boba, popping pearls and jellies. There are couple of other places that sell boba but tea rush is my Go-To hands down. The owner recognizes many of the customers and remember our favorite drinks and also recommends according to our previous orders. It shows that they are paying attention to their customers and it really means a lot. Definitely give this place a shot. The drink itself may come off as pricey but that is the price around all over the U.S. read more

Tea Rush Express - Yogurt Green Tea (L) boba and lychee jelly (R) yogurt popping pearls - Bubble Tea Near Me - McAllen, Texas

I've had bubble tea before at several other places, and the flavor and variety of flavors for bubble tea and popping pearls are what's great about this place. I got the taro bubble tea, and my husband got the passion fruit bubble tea with mango popping pearls. The flavor of the taro is so good compared to other places I've tried. My husband and I kept sharing our drinks, and couldn't decide whose drink we liked better. Didn't give them five stars because it gave me and my husband a bad sugar crash and a stomach ache later. This is a fun place to get a treat, and is great to cool off with. Would try again! read more

I have gone to several boba places here in the valley and in LA (which is where I was first introduced to it). By far, this is the best place I've come across for boba tea. I go so often that the female owner knows my order by memory, which is awesome! I have tried several flavors which were all good including white chocolate with whipped cream, mint chocolate, coconut, mango, spiced chai, avocado, taro, and my favorite and go-to, lavender. I ask for my lavender lightly sweetened and water-based instead of milk (perfection!). I think the avocado would be better this way too because I thought it was way too sweet when I tried it. The decor really doesn't look all that great but I couldn't care less since that's not what I go for anyway. I highly recommend Tea Rush. read more

I was pleasantly surprised how good the drinks were.. I was little skeptical at first considering there's not many Asians around but I found this decent place! We got the Taro boba, Jasmine tea boba, and Jasmine milk tea with boba and coffee jelly small sizes. Mine is not that sweet which I prefer and the boba is nice and soft and chewy. The woman is friendly and give good suggestions Definitely would come back! read more

I had only tried bubble tea once before and though eh, it's ok. I recently moved to Mcallen and Tea Rush express was the first place I tried for boba. I got the taro tea, but my favorite yet is the jasmine milk tea. I always ask for extra Boba for the texture! I would most definitely recommend Tea Rush express. The staff is very helpful when it comes to recommending certain teas. Great place! read more

I thought I gave up buying bubble tea in the valley due to the OVERPRICEd drinks at Tapioca Rush. Then I discovered tea rush and read The reviews and saw that the prices were not too bad. I went in and ordered a milk tea, Thai tea, and taro smoothie. $15 dollars for three drinks. As oppose to 15 dollars for two at the other place. The Thai tea was very good and not too sweet. The milk tea had a weird flavor that was very mild but it wasn't too bad. Overall it was a good experience and I was happy to have my bubble tea cravings satisfied. read more

I was on a hunt for some good boba and almost gave up. I didn't think there was any boba place in the area. Accidentally found Tapioca Rush one day, of course I couldn't help it and stopped by. It was the most expensive cup of boba I have every paid for. However, the guys who work there happened to mention their competitor: Tea Rush. Thank to them, I looked this place up. Best boba in the area at a very reasonable price. The people who work there are very friendly as well. The boba is not the best I have had (if you live in the Dallas area, definitely check out Fruitealicious!), but it will definitely do it for now! read more

Their Thai tea is actually better than some I've had in Houston. If anyone's lived in CA, their Thai is even better than tapEx. Owners are so nice and pretty cheap compared to other places. Way better than hop tungs freezer-flavored tapioca pearls. You can preorder multiple drinks for a large group if you call in, which I think is awesome read more
