If you're in McAllen, Rex Cafe & Bakery is a delightful stop for breakfast or lunch. Their breakfast tacos, especially with chorizo and eggs, are flavorful and filling. I also indulged in some freshly baked pan dulce, which was a treat - perfect with their superb coffee. The cozy, retro ambiance is charming, evoking nostalgia. Service was friendly, though a bit slow during busy times. Plus, I appreciated the ample parking. A lovely spot for a casual meal! ☕️
