Discover McAllen
McAllen might not be one of the most well-known cities in Texas, but its restaurant scene is surprisingly diverse while still holding that Texan flair for large portions and bold flavors. As one might expect, it's a town that understands meat. Steakhouses and Tex-Mex restaurants dominate the imaginations of both locals and critics, and they make up for a lack of elegance with a practiced understanding of how to handle the grill. That's not to say you won't find fine dining in the city of McAllen. If you're looking for a modernist, seafood-inspired spin on Japanese cuisine, a traditionally sumptuous Italian feast, or an upscale take on Cajun cuisine, you'll find something to love in McAllen. Many restaurants stock their kitchens with fresh meat and produce direct from the local farmers market.
