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.

 

[Irwin F Fletcher 3551]

Never had a bad meal at Salt. Blue Onion is a good place for lunch.

You can't go wrong with picking up tacos at any Stripes.

Ybarra's is 100x better.  We used to get and bring back Delia's then we discovered this place.  I highly recommend you give them a try.   Also in Weslaco.

Yeah, but if you are starting in McAllen, it's a hike to get to Delia's in time for Sunday morning barbacoa.

Will add Milano's (Italian) Arturo's in Weslaco.  Blue Onion was a solid rec too. All right off the highway too.

I was about to say drive to the beach for Dirty Al's but isn't there one in McAllen?

When I was working down there,  the best tacos were from the vendors who would stop by your office at 9:30 with the tacos in a cooler.

They had the Doordash thing figured out long before the tech world got into the act.   Pinche Mexicanos!    LMAO!!!!!!!!

go on...

[Helobious 9503]

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.
