This place is not what it used to be. This used to be our favorite restaurant to celebrate birthdays and anniversaries, but yesterday was our last time. Food, service, cleanliness, and more were lacking. Very disappointing. I was always excited to go back.

Excellent food and service from Javi. We were fortunate to visit both Salt and House Wine during our McAllen trip and both were equally amazing!

Overall the restaurant was great. We went during the week and there wasn’t any wait time. Our waiter was great at explaining the menu since it was our first time there. The food was top quality even tasted great as left overs. The ambience was quiet and perfect for our date. Would definitely visit again to try other items on their menu and recommend to friends.

All restaurant looks dirty and with very very poor maintenance Food was ok but not the quality I would expect being they are same owners as Salt. One little example: sink to wash hands is corroded and extremely dirty, you can tell they don’t clean it for days/weeks… but the problem is that the entire restaurant has extremely poor maintenance… I was worried the kitchen was in same conditions.
