Food scene
This place is a great summarization of Rio Grande Valley food. Affordable, very flavorful, and really yummy tortillas.
The all day breakfast pato’s (tacos) are insane value for money! $2.49 for a potato, egg, and avocado breakfast taco. I also recommend the beef guisada gordita if you’re gluten free!

These tacos were voted the best fast food tacos in the state of Texas! This is the place to get fajita tacos if you’re craving them.
If you’re wanting to try fajita the Valley way, grab the Pirata taco! They also have the best quesadillas.

Sightseeing
Regardless of religion, walking the true to size statues of the crucifixion is truly a unique experience. Less than a mile from the house!
There also is a shrine built back in 1980 of the Virgin de San Juan, the original (1954) was destroyed in an airplane accident in 1970! As well as a gorgeous mural made out of a material emulating stained glass, truly a sight to see!
