(From January 2012) A great place to meet up with friends, City Cafe never disappoints. Soup, salads, and sandwiches are the main fare at lunchtime, while the dinner menu offers heartier dishes. We love the chicken salad sandwich served on pita with a side of homemade potato salad and the pan-seared salmon with a drizzle of balsamic and cheesy mashed potatoes. Beer & wine. |

(From July 2011) “Feel better, look better, live better” is the mantra at this north McAllen eatery. You may find the service to be a little slower than you’re used to, but everything is prepared fresh when you order it, and the healthy alternatives to comfort food favorites are quite gratifying. We enjoyed the chicken salad sandwich; thinly sliced grilled chicken breast, mixed with chunks of apple, a little mayonnaise, and raw spinach, came served on lightly toasted rye bread with a side of amazing sweet potato fries, sprinkled with sea salt, and red cabbage slaw topped with a drizzle of spicy mustard. Beer and wine. |

(From January 2012) Named for the time of day when President Franklin Roosevelt signed the proclamation ending Prohibition (it may not have been exactly 7, but Roosevelt’s at 6:55 doesn’t have quite the same ring), this self-proclaimed alehouse serves an eclectic mix of college students, professionals, and beer buddies. There’s all kinds of imported and domestic brews and plenty of satisfying dishes, each named for a celebrity of some sort or other. We enjoyed the Grace Kelly Asparagus, which came wrapped in prosciutto, grilled, and topped with a dollop of goat cheese. Machine Gun Kelly’s Shrimp Pizza is another rewarding choice, with mushroom pesto, cherry tomatoes, feta and Parmesan, and blackened shrimp. Beer & wine. |
