June 27, 20223 yr Salome on Main is the best restaurant in the valley Teddys is best bbq in the valley (TM Top 50) Ultimo tacos are fucking awesome. make sure and stop by Veras bbq
June 27, 20223 yr Funny this came up, because I was just there last week for work. Definitely Delias. Those tamales are life-changing. I liked Palenque Grill, but I wasn't blown away. Salt on Main St was really, really good. Probably the best meal I had when I was down there.

They had the Doordash thing figured out long before the tech world got into the act. Pinche Mexicanos! LMAO!!!!!!!!
July 6, 20223 yr Someone should’ve bat signaled me here, damn. All great recs given out. I’d add sunrise cafe in Weslaco and any Wing Barn, for wings. El Pato kind of sucks in my opinion. Margos in Weslaco has the best raspas in the RGV. The strawberry delight, holy fuck For pizza I actually like Formacio in Mercedes more than mamma mia. Yeah in Harlingen Vegas & Pepe’s are staples, smoke is decent BBQ, but goddamn that Applebees. I want to cry everytime I go back and see it, reminds me of childhood.
December 4Dec 4 Anything specific to Edinburg for dinner? I’m going with my son to his med school interview at UTRGV.

Peter Piper unironically has really fucking good pizza down there. El Patio is great for an early dinner, think they close like at 8 or something. Besides that you might have to make the long 5 minute drive to McAllen for more food options.

December 4Dec 4 What kind of place are you looking for? University Drafthouse is a great option for a beer and burger place. Howling Rabbits has good beer and pizza. If you want something more upscale, check out Salt or Ambra. Three of those are in McAllen, but close to the UTRGV campus. Edited December 4Dec 4 by HornOnTheBayou

Thanks for chiming in on something you have no idea about. It’s legitimately great pizza, the pizza sauce has a good zip to it and it’s reasonably priced. I’ve been to NYC and I’d rank it over some of the highly rated local spots I tried up there.

Just stop it. Peter Piper is dog shit. At least it was when I ate it in Waco in 2000.
December 5Dec 5 Blue Onion in McAllen (probably 10 minutes from Edinburg) is great for lunch or a quick dinner they also have a location in Weslaco.
