We just tried Kabob Guys in McAllen for the first time and they have a huge vegan menu and gluten free stuff and I gave them a list of my husband's food allergies just to make sure that they didn't use any of those things and guys... OMGOODNESS... it was so so so so so so so so good!! I had no idea vegan food could taste so amazing! It was super hot and we ordered it spicy and it was the perfect heat where your nose gets runny but you don't get the hiccups lol so so so good!! Wonderful prices wonderful service! Super happy!

Stopped in on the weekend and sat at the bar. Hector and Martin were the perfect hosts. All my drinks were perfect. The pasta was made in house and incredible. Also, and i didn't know this, they have the best gluten free crust I have ever had. Definitely going back.

I looove the gluten free “Drag it through the Garden” pizza. My hubby gets the regular crust meat lovers. Two completely different types of pizza, one shared love for the experience. One note, I’d eat in. The pizza is noticeably better in a good way, when not boxed. Eat in for the full experience. Take home for a much better pie than you’ll find elsewhere.

I have been waiting for a new location closer to me to open in Edinburg, but today, I really was craving beignets and was over in McAllen, so I stopped in. I did not buy anything other than the beignets, but I've heard from family members that PJ'S coffee is very good. I have had beignets at Café DuMond in New Orleans and at Coffee Call in Baton Rouge (both are considered the best), and while these were smaller, they were excellent. I am so happy we finally have a place in the RGV where I can find decent beignets. The restaurant is very nice, with pleasing, beautiful decor, positive vibes, and comfortable places to sit, study, work, or just chill and enjoy friends. Everything was quite clean, orderly, and the service was friendly and prompt. The prices are competitive with similar coffee places. Next time I'll order a coffee too. But since I live in a household whose diet is heart smart, sugar-free, fat-free, and gluten-free, the beignets were a little bit of heaven today.

My family and I received excellent service here. They were able to accommodate a person in our party with a gluten and dairy allergy without any issues. They have a gluten sensitive menu available upon request. There were no issues with cross contamination during our visit.

OMG... almost do not want to post on how GOOD this tiny restaurant was!!! Would rather keep it our secret and make it my private breakfast place! They homebake all their breads and desserts AND their chef really understands how to balance flavors even on a breakfast plate. Loved the spicy potatoes with my delish eggs Benedict on a bed of asparagus (hold the Panko and it's gluten free) husband had the regular eggs Benedict and appreciated the homemade bread instead of the standard english muffin.

My wife and I came here for our wedding anniversary dinner. My wife is celiac, so I had called in advance to make sure there would be gluten free options for her. They were very accomodating. The manager (Ken) even went to buy gluten free pasta and bread that afternoon to make sure my wife had options. Moreover, the food was amazing! We will for sure come back to try the other items on the menu.
