    If you’re looking for a restaurant that feels like a little slice of magic in McAllen, Hombre Restaurant is the place to be! This spot is nothing short of absolutely amazing. From the moment you walk in, you’re transported to a world that combines the sleek, high-energy vibes of New York City with the glitz and glamour of Las Vegas—all wrapped in the warm, inviting charm of a small-town gem. The service? Out of this world. Every single employee makes you feel like you’re not just a guest but part of their family. Whether it’s the way they greet you with a smile or how attentive they are to your every need, the staff sets a new standard for hospitality. The atmosphere at Hombre is electrifying. The music and energy are contagious—you’ll feel like you should be dancing the night away. But don’t be surprised if the incredible food and drinks keep you glued to your seat! The menu is packed with flavors that will blow you away, paired with a drink selection that’s just as impressive. Hombre Restaurant is more than a place to eat; it’s an experience. It’s where big-city vibes meet hometown charm, creating a perfect fusion that you won’t find anywhere else. Don’t just take my word for it—go check it out, and I promise you’ll leave with a full belly and an even fuller heart!

    $500 for a 4 person dinner plus a few drinks! Mediocre steaks, fishy salmon, small portion of deboned chicken. No appetizers ordered. Never again.

    I have lost count of how many meals i have had at Ambra and the number will continue to grow. Just go. Try a few things. Maybe venture outside your comfort zone. Whatever you do you can expect an excellent meal and great service in a luxurious environment
