- CCeciliaLas Vegas •1 review5.0Dined 2 days agoVery tasty food. The Avocado appetizer was a hit. We also tried the queso, it was a bit small and wasn’t too impressed with the sausage used, nor it’s presentation; so I did not try it tbh, however , the rest of the people at my table ate it all up. Parrillada was excellent! Very good size for about 8-10 people. It had three different types of meats, potatoes and some seafood (shrimp and octopus) as well. Yumm. Everything we tried on the menu, including drinks & desserts were tasty. The only thing that I feel could’ve been better was the steak seasoning. It could’ve had a bit more seasoning. It was a little bland, but the cut and type of meat made up for it.More infoPalominos - McAllenPrice: Very Expensive• Steakhouse• McAllen•4.5
