Aguas frescas, fresh food with plenty of dessert options. All very well priced and cooked to order in a timely manner. Good stop if your in McAllen.

The Torta Cubana Special was pretty tasty and big, 2 can easily share this to big torta and it comes with small bag of chips. The milanesa(breaded beef) was really tasty, I liked the pierna(shredded pork leg) the most, it has many more ingredients such as cheese, ham, chorizo, avocado etc. Overall great big portion tortas, they are on the pricier side but like I said you can easily share it or eat the other half later.

I've been coming here for the Paletas and Tortas for af least 5 years. The paletas never disappoint but the tortas are our this world. Arguably the best tortas in the Valley!

I’ve never heard of their specialty but after seeing the pictures, I had to try their papantecas. Be warned — they’re spicy, and that’s coming from someone who always asks for the hottest Mexican salsas at taquerias. The tortillas covered in the spicy sauce resemble the ones used in enchiladas rojas but the spices are hotter. I ordered it with deshebrada and it comes dressed with crema and queso. After you take your first bite, you’ll feel the heat in your mouth but it lingers in your throat. It helped to have some of their lemonade on standby! My boyfriend had the flautas, and they were everything you want in a flauta. The tortillas were crispy on the outside but the tender meat was moist inside. When you bit into it, it kept its integrity instead of breaking into pieces like other flautas. The toppings towered over, but it really helped ensure you’d get a little bit of the cheese, crema, lettuce, tomatoes and avocados in each bite. While we were there we watched Jumanji in Spanish on the TV and really enjoyed the experience. We look forward to coming back soon and hopefully push my heat tolerance a little further along.

If you want a nice traditional torta your mami or your abuelita would make, this place has it! It's a very low key restaurant but the food is delicious. The prices are affordable, the people are nice hardworking people who put a lot of love into everything they offer. 10/10, if you've never been here you need to try it! I always get the Torta cubana.

Got their agua fresca and fresas con crema. The worker hand cut the strawberries in front of me because he said if not they will start getting soft. I appreciated that and I could tell when I tasted it. Strawberries were perfect, crema was so delicious and the agua fresca was sweet. Great service. Great food. We will be back.

6-9-23 I got recommended this place by a friend, so had to try it out. He swears by it, he said there big and taste good too. Well I believe he was right. They are huge and they taste great. I like the fact that they toast the bread. Very crispy on the edges the bread itself is soft goes real well with the meat. I got the Texan with bistec and it was great. It's so big I couldn't finish it. I only eat half, I did have 2 paletas. One of mango with Chile and another of cookies and cream. Both we very good. We be there again for sure.
