Reviews for Fares Arabic Cuisine in McAllen, TX
Good quality food, but the protei portion of my $28 kebab plate was sadly small, it had great flavor and was correctly... prepared. But the portion was small, like they got wrong my order or something because the rest of the plates served had goodportions of protein. The Humus was great and their dessert also was good. The service is lower than average in quality. Wouldvisit again but would ask first about the portion on their menu selections. Read more
Food was great. They took a while bringing it out, but it's because they prepare it from scratch. Comfortable dining. It is a... bit more pricey than I expected, but if you are looking to try something new and different than your normal dining experience,it's worth checking it out. Read more
I have been to many many restaurants in the valley from expensive to even more expensive. Without a doubt this is the restaurant... with the best food on the menu for now. I have been to all of chefs delgados restaurant it does not match this quality at all.The chef from fares you can tell is very hands on. He is not like most chefs down here that open a restaurant and visit everyonce in a while. This head chef even takes your order i mean humble as one can be. The food, out of this world fresh. The ricewith the saffron is amazing. When that saffron aroma hits your ole factor nerves you know you are in a restaurant of quality.Their hummus is genuine you cannot cannot get this in your local supermarket. This takes time to master and their chefs haveperfected it. The homemade yogurt delicious touch ti add to the food. Their desserts my goodness i just can go on and on. Doyourself a favor go with you family order some plates for two and enjoy because this is a beautiful restaurant and it deservesrecognition. I didn?t take a picture of the entree but did of the sides. In total it was 50 for my girlfriend and i with twoflans as dessert. Very very reasonable considering the portion sizes and the quality of their food. Amazing place woulddefinitely be a go to for me Read more

The short wait was well worth it! The food was delicious. I didn't want to stop eating. The pita was hot and fresh. The hummus... was so good I wanted to lick the bowl clean! The grilled veggies were perfect. The chicken shawarma my husband said was verygood. Flavorful and lean. The rice, I had to have more! I will be returning as often as possible for the falafel plate and acucumber mint lemonade. Read more
Everything was absolutely perfect. Expect to wait a bit for the food, but, as others have said, it?s worth the wait. The food... is fresh and flavorful. Service is attentive but not overbearing. I ordered the Palmyra Chicken which is boneless chickenthighs served with rice, grilled veggies, and a side of choice ? tabouleh this time. The chicken was tender, juicy and packedwith spices counterbalanced by the yogurt-like sauce accompanying it. The tabouleh is light, fresh and zesty. I don?t normallylike the ingredients on their own, but combined they are transformed. I also got the tea which is served hot. It?s a great wayto start the meal. Read more
We've lived in very large cities where ample varieties of cultural cuisines exist and in spite of the variety we never enjoyed... food as fresh, healthy and delicious as our meal at Fares. They are one of a kind. Servings are decent and plates can beshared. The fatoush salad is incredible and generously portioned. Hope you are able to visit sometime. Even their pastriesare fresh.
