Anyone here ever been to McAllen, Texas? Tell me about your McAllen experience.?

Question

I've been there several times. It's a nice town, just I don't like crossing the border, I hate Reynosa, Mexico.

Answer 1

McAllen doesn't have much going on throughout the year. You might want to visit South Padre Island if you're nearby. About Reynosa: that's a NO NO! Go to Nuevo Progreso (aka Las Flores) for bargain shopping. You will not get lost since it's a one street market. It's just across the border from Weslaco (take FM 1015).

Answer 2

McAllen, Texas is boring, not much to do. Actually the whole valley is boring, your better of going to San Antonio.
