We’re often asked whether we consider ourselves Food Critics, and the short and simple answer to that question is, NO.

​

We’re “Foodies” first and foremost. We love food. We advocate on behalf of those who labor every day to bring good food to the table. Our quest for that scrumptious dish, and delectable recipe, encouraged us to develop a restaurant guide with an unorthodox approach to a 5-Star Rating System that prefers to speak to the hearts and minds of people like you and I - foodies.

​

Food Critics live in BIG cities; we live in the Rio Grande Valley, and as the chart above visually depicts – IT’S ALL ABOUT THE FOOD!

​

Yes, Customer Service is of utmost importance; Cleanliness should be a definite given; A Price Point/Value that’s fair and reasonable would be appreciated; And of course, the perfect Ambiance would complete that special night out on the town. But if the food is less than good, why bother going out in the first place?

​

Our mission is to raise-the-bar at home; so, rest assured that a “Baseline” score of a three represents a proud accomplishment for any restaurant that merits a thumbs up – it's the starting point towards excellence!

​

As ‘foodies’ go, we aspire for something more, something better than just a passing meal, and to that end, we believe our system will help guide you in the right direction… A meal you won’t soon forget.

​

Buen Provecho!

 

Enjoy!
