The restaurant is very welcoming and warm with hosts and owner courteously attending our every need.The food is freshly prepared from what we could see..and portions are BIG...VERY BIG...i just couldn't finish my meal???..took half home to eat the following day...the prices are proper for fresh, one of a kind dishes(that don't dissapoint)...Its not for every day...but splurging on yourself and ur tummy once a month..this place is IT!!I ordered gyro tacos(for me and the ball n chain)...and a cucumber and sautéed garlic salad...i like healthy stuff!!Highly recommend!!
It was an ok experience. We walked in and maybe it was because there was a big group with like three tables or something, but it seemed awkward to have them directly infront of the door. We went to sit at a booth, we got our drinks, ordered the food, and it was just ok. Not good, not bad, but just in the middle. The macaroni salad was nice though, it was a little strong but it didn't taste like mayonnaise and pasta like other macaroni salads I've had. I got a pepperoni calzone and all I can say is it reminds me of Peter Piper Pizza if they were to make hot pockets. It isn't really a bad thing to be honest but I just expected a little less of that feeling. But that's just me, others might say something different. Very filling, nice staff. I would come back maybe once in a while, but not often.
While the food can be good its very inconsistent. I stopped by for lunch the other day and I was very pleased with two of the sample dips I ordered. But the third dip, I was confused as I ordered artichoke dip and it came with some sort of yogurt like sauce with garlic on top, best I can conclude is that it was not the dip I ordered but I couldn't seem to figure out what dip it was (it tasted nothing like artichoke, or any other dip listed in the menu)... The pizza I ordered, while the flavor was good it came drenched in olive oil.I liked the two dips so much I decided to give this place a second chnace and placed an online order after a long day at work. I ordered a pizza which was kind of plain compared to the flavorful pizza from my first order. I decided to try the sample dips again and I reordered the olive tapenade, and chevre goat cheese with roasted garlic. For the third I decided to try the hummus and garlic. The tapenade tasted great, but the chevre goat cheese and garlic was very very bland, the hummus and garlic came with way too much garlic and it was very overpowering.While the food can be good it seems to me like it its hit or miss depending on who's working behind the counter.Three stars instead of two because of the food that was good, the staff was very polite and attentive, and the restaurant was neat and orderly.
Good and value for the money food place...I like this place because they genuinely respect the veggitariens.....very few of restaurants in McAllen area those are surving vegetarian food....I would request to management keep it up and enrich your menu with more vegetarian food items ...All the very best....
We ordered Blue Onion through the Favor app for our Saturday night date night in, and it did not disappoint. I absolutely LOVED my wrap, and my date went on and on about his calzone. They were delicious. I saved the sides that came with my wrap for today, and they tasted even better than last night. Looking forward to dining in soon.
Fantastic experience. Very calm atmosphere. Their food is very exquisite and such precise delicacy. My personal favorite is their gyros and roasted garlic hummus. Homemade pita bread with garlic and butter as well as all their cuisines. Their chocolate Oreo mousse was a burst of sweet smooth creaminess that is very hard to imitate. If you want to experience an explosion of flavors this is the place to go for your pallet.
It was the first time going to Blue Onion, this past sunday Dec 5'21, we liked the service, Great food, there was small incident, nothing that could not be solved, and Joann (our waitress) solved properly and very quickly and the manager sent us a dessert, bc of the incident...that is what I call 100% excellent service, I give it 5 stars...we will definitely be back ??? and recommend, ask for Joann R. She is Great and knows how to recommend dishes....THANKS !!!!....Diana C.
good food. also be prepare to wait if you go during lunch time.
All I'm going to say is....they are really bad at online orders. Either the order is wrong or if you ask them to do something specifically, they just ignore your request and they also charge you extra for missing items for delivery. Bad management and probably a staff full of immature kids. Improve on customer service, they most certainly lost a loyal customer.
AMAZING! So good. I should know. I'm a fat and hungry and this place filled the void in my life. Well, at least in my stomach. The pita and Flatbread is super good. Especially the Flatbread which is the thick, fluffy kind not the dry flat pita kind one receives at most restaurants. The fluffy Flatbread is what separates good restaurants from great restaurants. And fusion between Mediterranean and TexMex in the fajita Flatbread sandwich... who would have thought that was possible!? Perhaps the aliens that built the pyramids in Egypt then in Central America? If you believe in that sort of stuff.
