I think it speaks more to the douche bag serial liar OP. He’s just a simple minded troll that likes to post bullshite to make himself appear cool on social media. Sad, strange little man.

There’s a really good upscale Mexican restaurant inside the mall at one end (where a Dillard’s used to be). Forget the name.

The bars are a bit too Tigerland-ish for me

Shut up nerd. The “McAllen” you see on fox news isn’t even McAllen. It’s Hidalgo. Hidalgo is the border town.

Art walk on fridays downtown, there’s usually a good live music scene in that area too. Pretty sure there’s a new top golf. There are nice golf courses and nature trails if you’re into that as well as food truck parks. SPI is a little over an hour away.

Food- Bodega, republic of the rio grande, santa fe, espana, ambra, kumori, delia’s, costa messa, koko’s


You can also throw a dart and hit a perfect taco truck.

And latinas everywhere.

Godspeed young grasshopper.
