The decor of this popular Mc-Allen restaurant is uniquely Rio Grande Valley, with caliche stone columns plus eclectic art and a menu to match. Start with the Stuffed Chile Fritos: crispy fried Anaheim peppers filled with creamy goat cheese and served with a tangy salsa. Move on to the Chimichurri Flat Iron Steak, drizzled with a garlic-loaded chimichurri-serrano sauce and accompanied by rice and beans. Save room for the Almond Taco: a crushed-almond cookie baked in the shape of a taco, filled with mascarpone, and mounted on a heap of fresh strawberries and pineapple. (9/13)
