Mcallen Restaurants

Offering a true taste of South Texas culture, McAllen is an economic and cultural center of the area and is nestled along the United States border with Mexico at the Rio Grande River. Because of its proximity to the border, authentic Mexican cuisine is a staple in McAllen, and the region's original creation, Tex-Mex food, can be found in restaurants across town. This style includes full meals or snacks called "botanas." With cattle ranches dotting the land across South Texas, it's natural to find fine steakhouses here along with Texas barbecue boasting a little Mexican flair. You'll also find seafood restaurants, American cuisine, delis, cafes, and pizzerias in McAllen.
