I'm from the Valley myself and I really loved how you depicted the Rio Grande Valley. Just FYI for those that would like to visit Nana's Taqueria, its actually in Weslaco and not in Mcallen.
Whether she went to McAllen or Weslaco or Nuevo Progresso, she's one of the few who were able to show off little parts of the RGV here and there. I think that for those saying she's being disrespectful or rude, maybe y'all should remember just how often we hear people claim that the RGV is a shithole with nothing to do. Our valley is growing so quickly!! We should be proud of small steps like these and commend her hard work to raise us up in this way.
All of you Valley people stop being rude! Appreciate that there's an actual video on exploring McAllen and some other cities here in the Valley. Many people from up north know the Valley as McAllen it's not her fault.
That's one of the reasons I have a community page called Our Neighborhood Rio Grande Valley, to try to spread the inside scoops. It's ridiculously expensive to advertise here, and people get so localized and don't travel 20 minutes.
Salome on Main, The Republic (10th St), and The Centennial Club are all part of ongoing traditions and fresh food and the locals created them and support them. Salome is a unique thematic culinary experience. Centennial is a historic space as well as high quality. And The Republic has quality to impress industry experts.
Thx for showing love to the small businesses around the Rio Grande Valley. You need to come to South Padre Island and enjoy our beach for spring break!
There is even more other things to do in that area. This to me was mostly restaurants. If you have lived outside Mcallen, Tx you will find that not all the cities in the US have that many shopping centers and restaurants, entertainment centers, and night life. That’s without counting the options to drive for an hour and get to the beach, or 2 hours and get to a Mayor city in Mexico, or even flight. There is also sports events and concerts thru the year. I should do my video, but I do not live in the are anymore lol
I have watched so many of your videos I love traveling and I am so excited to see traveling videos with in the United States so many hidden gems in Texas great content 🎉
My wife and I are retiring to North McAllen, TX and plan to buy a home in a new community called Tres Lagos. We live in the Washington,DC metro area and considered Austin and San Antonio, but we are tired of Big City living. More willing to settle down in a more slow pace community.
All the cities are stuck together you can barely even notice when new city starts and when one ends. Either way McAllen is the most recognizable city in the valley, next to Brownsville
When she was eating tacos at Danny’s taqueria that is in Progreso, Mexico. NaNa’s is located in Weslaco Tx near Progreso, Mexico. Most of the restaurants she did go to are in McAllen, Tx . For the Bars/clubs they are in Downtown McAllen on 17th st. Basically The Rio Grande Valley
Girl, don't even listen to any of the negativity. It's ridiculous to sweat the particulars soooo hard. I can't believe the comments after this beautifulll video. I've never been there, but you make me wanna go to allll these places. I'm glad I discovered you, and I subscribed. And I'm about to share your bombbb video.
You must not be mexican or a true mexican. And by the way I'm black not mexican so no I'm not hating. It was disrespectful to do this video with a significant other from another race. And yes people have a legitimate point. Don't do a info video and not have the geographics right. I'm a black guy just looking to get away from todays society so I'd figure I move somewhere that is rich in culture because gentrification is killing cities of culture. The RGV hasn't gentrified. There's still culture and heritage but then you have a video like this that gives misleading info while at the same time takes away from the heritage because the dude in the video that she's with is not of hispanic heritage. that's backwards and a spit in the face to people in the valley. interracial relationships are cool. My daughter is mexican and black but as a black man I'm a just keep it real. Don't do video's that are based around culture and heritage if your gonna introduce interracial relations as part of the tranjectory
Even thou so many people claim the RGV is bad cause of the drugs, gangs and only the negative things you see on the news but we're actually growing and there's so many nice people, badass places to eat. I'm from ELSA tx which is 25/30min from McAllen tx. But Im always in Weslaco/McAllen
Sure wish you would have put the names of these places on screen so I could look them up. No idea what they are called but they looked like great places to visit!
I saw you on my fyp on tik tok, I had to come see the full video. I was born and raised in downtown Mcallen, it’s nice to see people finally talking good about the rgv. We’re a lot more than bipolar weather and takuaches. You should come down on a holiday and head to 17th street down town Mcallen, the night clubs will give you an even better time 😂 Lmao so I commented this before half the video and then I realized you already visited 17th street 😂😂 my bad, hopefully you enjoyed it enough to revisit
@@Cuppiecake31 no worries gf! Im from mission! I call Penitas . pinata... Lol i have funny names for everything hahaha thats just me:) lol have a great day girly!
There is a lot to do in the valley but you need the time and money, just like any other place in the US. No need to hate on the RGV. Just the way it is.
@@akembanku2155 the job market is on the rise at an amazing rate. Nurses are in need in the McAllen area as there are so many medical facilities. They are building a UTRGV Nursing school in Pharr Texas which neighbors McAllen due to lack of nurses i hear.
I saw on the internet that McAllen is the state which has the highest obesity rate in the US. I wanted to see how fat people were. Instead I got a 21 minute video highlighting all the kinds of fattening food you are able to eat in McAllen haha!
This is nice because no one really knows about the RGV but its kind of disrespectful honestly if you dont put out the right information its still the same as people not knowing about us you made it seem like everything was only about McAllen but some places you visited arent even located in McAllen I really enjoyed your video but you shouldve said in your video that you visted the surroundings cities too id like for people to know what Weslaco tx is too not just knowing about McAllen like everything is the same. We have more than just McAllen in the RGV shoutout the whole RGV give credit where credit is due I wouldve enjoyed the video if you put the exact locations of everything in the corner of the video or in the description. Oh and stay safe there was recently 3 confirmed cases of the virus in Mexico city stay safe traveling.
The valley has grown. I came from los angeles to the rio grande valley to finish my high school and talk about a culture shock, there really wasn't much to do in the rgv. back in the 80's but with time i adjusted, made a lot of friends and i caught a lot of flack and criticism for being outgoing/frentoso and not being conservative. During the high school dances i was on the floor 80% of the time while most of the dudes were holding up the wall. After school i eventually moved back to cali. but i'd be lying if i said i didn't miss some pretty close friends that i had made in my stay there. I might move back when i retire, love you rgv.
Mabelline B Wow...you are bitter and so hostile (I saw your other rude message). I’m from the valley but why the heck would you want a tourist to see the ghetto. Most cities have a not-so-good side but you don’t tell your loved ones to visit there so why should she?!? I think she did a great job. If you don’t like it, don’t comment. No one forced you to watch. She made me want to go back and visit the valley... I miss it very much. She showed it’s charm which is what we all want to see.

When you live there, and breathe it everyday, theres not much to do. I'm glad tourists find it amusing lol
Get out there and have fun don't take life for granted

For real. There is nothing to do here but eat, drink, and shop.

Brinda Rodriguez it’s actually in progreso, tx which is a small town next to Weslaco ❤️
@@mialatortilla3155 it's actually Weslaco Tx. Here's the address. 1802 S International Blvd, Weslaco, TX 78596
Brinda Rodriguez maybe is like sharyland and mission they are both one City but people call it as two different cities
@@hectortorres4738 I'm actually from Weslaco so I know for sure it's in Weslaco. I can see the confusion since it's like 1 to 2 miles from Progreso.
Yup. Born, raised,and still in the Rgv. Nanas is in Weslaco lol
Whether she went to McAllen or Weslaco or Nuevo Progresso, she's one of the few who were able to show off little parts of the RGV here and there.

Facts !
The road 107 between north McAllen and Edinburg is going to become a huge college town with Texas A&M in McAllen and UTRGV in Edinburg
All of you Valley people stop being rude! Appreciate that there's an actual video on exploring McAllen and some other cities here in the Valley. Many people from up north know the Valley as McAllen it's not her fault.

Thx for showing love to the small businesses around the Rio Grande Valley. You need to come to South Padre Island and enjoy our beach for spring break!
No, not Spring Break. It's best when there are less people ruining the beach. Peace and quiet to enjoy the sound of the waves crashing.
NO WAY!!!!
Came from tiktok because I live in Mission and I never knew all these places😂😍
I'm from Rio but same
Yamii Water me too
Same lol
Change your title to ‘Things to do in the Rio Grande Valley’ cause half the shit is all around the valley not McAllen!
So true
So what do you recommend in McAllen? Asking for a friend.

I was there yesterday, this place was awesome. If you come to the Valley you have to check it out.
Nana's is in Weslaco but its alright just should've shouted out the surroundings cities you went to
Glad you loved the RGV tho everyone thinks it's just wasteland and bad things because of the new guy in office smh

Hello Valley Family!

Even thou so many people claim the RGV is bad cause of the drugs, gangs and only the negative things you see on the news but we're actually growing and there's so many nice people, badass places to eat. I'm from ELSA tx which is 25/30min from McAllen tx. But Im always in Weslaco/McAllen

Great video loved it .
Nana's is in the outskirts of weslaco, at least 35 minutes from Mcallen😂
I guess McAllen must be very small, when you live in a bigger city 35 minutes is within your neighborhood!!🤣🤣
Sure wish you would have put the names of these places on screen so I could look them up. No idea what they are called but they looked like great places to visit!
Hope this helps! mycurlyadventures.com/2019/12/19/things-to-do-in-mcallen-tx-this-weekend/

You should have gone to Taqueria Victor their lonches are BOMB. I can’t come back without eating there😋👌🏼
the video should be called "WHERE TO EAT IN McAllen"
It’s not as fun as it seems, very little to do just food places and bars. What sucks the most is windy days most of the time and the scorching heat.
I saw on the internet that McAllen is the state which has the highest obesity rate in the US. I wanted to see how fat people were. Instead I got a 21 minute video highlighting all the kinds of fattening food you are able to eat in McAllen haha!

I came from los angeles to the rio grande valley to finish my high school and talk about a culture shock, there really wasn't much to do in the rgv. back in the 80's but with time i adjusted, made a lot of friends and i caught a lot of flack and criticism for being outgoing/frentoso and not being conservative. During the high school dances i was on the floor 80% of the time while most of the dudes were holding up the wall. After school i eventually moved back to cali. but i'd be lying if i said i didn't miss some pretty close friends that i had made in my stay there. I might move back when i retire, love you rgv.
It’s not JUST MCALLEN, it’s the Rio Grande Valley with several cities in it. You went to Weslaco, Mission and McAllen! 👏🏼
Too bad you did not show the poverty, the homeless vets, the barrios, the drug dealers on the corners, the gangs.. missed the best parts.
