First time here, walked in asked for a table got this look as if it was to much trouble for no reservation. Got seated quickly as we got there when they opened. Once at table service was amazing friendly and informative on the menu. Drinks had Old Fashion and Margarita both were good. Food steak cooked the way it was ordered medium but a bit dry 8/10. Sides Mac and cheese and Asparagus delicious. Atmosphere was nice for a dinner but lighting was dim. Would go back to try other items on menu.

Had an incredible dinner at SALT with my daughters last night! The drinks were delicious, the food was amazing, and the service was top-notch. Such a great atmosphere for a special night out. Five stars all the way — we can’t wait to come back!

We started with tomato salad and burrata. Since this was our first time, I wish the waiter told us about the salts on the table. The veggies are the place to add more salt. For entrees we had lamb chops (not as tender as I was expecting but the mole and mushrooms were delicious), duck (kinda rubbery but the kale and carrots were nicely seasoned), and campo bread (warm and lovely). Paired with the Razcal and the Carrot drink. We finished it off with baked alaska. This was not a favorite because there was too much going on.

I don’t even know where to start with the amazing experience I had at Salt! The atmosphere was cozy and inviting, making it the perfect spot for a date night, family dinner, or just a nice evening out. We went around 6pm, which turned out to be a great time. The food was an absolute 10/10—the flavors blended beautifully, and the appetizers were so unique. Our server was attentive, kind, and very knowledgeable. I highly recommend this place to everyone!

My husband and I went this past Friday for date night after it was recommended by a few of his colleagues. The appetizers were very good. The chips were home made and with the cheese sauce? Sheeesh 10/10. The sriracha shrimp were also very good, they come 6 shrimps so perfect for sharing, and they’re a good size too. I’d recommend getting them too 9/10. The lemonade was also very good, very refreshing for a hot summer day, my husband and I really enjoyed them 9.5/10. The pan de campo was good, it’s just not my cup of tea. But my husband liked it so I’ll take it as a win. They gave us the jalapeño mashed and was honestly very good, I could take the jalapeños and the mash potatoes had a kick to it, 10/10 i would recommend it. Now, the pork chop, it was good but I’ve had better. It came with a jalapeño tamale that was good but I wouldn’t get it again, I thought it was too porky for me so the flavor kind of overwhelmed me 5/10, I would go for something else. And my husband got the pork shank, that was very delicious, very lean, and their carrots and fries were very good. The sauce paired beautifully with the meat, 8.5/10. Over all I would give this experience a 4/5 stars for spending a little close to $200 for 2 persons. Most def we will be back.

So we don't make down to McAllen TX as often as we would like, life and business, just keep happening. This week and project brought us to McAllen, and we made sure to come back to SALT. The Kitchen Bar is our favorite. One of our favorites anywhere.

Salt never disappoints. We went at my request for my birthday dinner. We started with a pitcher of the Black and Blue (so good) then for appetizers we had the delicious charcuterie board and the potato chips. The sauce on the chips is addictive. For our entrees we had steak, duck, and fried chicken. All are absolutely delicious. You must try the jalapeño infused mashed potatoes. The waiter was friendly and helpful and added to our wonderful experience.

We happened to be in McAllen for a wedding and stumbled upon this gem. From start to finish we experienced nothing but the best service paired with the most exceptional food. We enjoyed our experience sitting at the chef’s table and were blown away watching how these talented chefs craft their food, it’s pure art. We returned a second night and were greeted like we were friends. Seriously, are these guys going for Michelin stars? If so, give it to them, outstanding!
