Greens & Lemons

"My wife and I were looking for a lighter meal and tried Greens and Lemons. It’s innorth McAllen by Sam’s and I wasn’t too excited for a healthy Mediterranean place. I’m glad to say I was wrong. The atmosphere is much nicer than I expected and would make for a great day date spot. The menu has a lot of thing I want to try and did not play heavily on what most places that add healthy in their title. We started with humus and fried cauliflower. Thr humans tasted homemade, well season and not to oily compared to a lot of other homemade humus I’ve tried. They recommend the cauliflower and it hit so good. Again not oily at all but plenty crispy. The cauliflower was firm not overcooked and mushy and it was dressed in buffalo sauce. Would definitely recommend. This was pair with a cucumber water and a hibiscus tea (Jamaica) both definitely made fresh and not too sweet how I like it. The cucumber water was so damn refreshing, I’d come back for just a cup of this. Our main dishes were a green fish ceviche and and the Godzilla pokebowl. The ceviche does have a strong like flavor but not overpowering. That’s because there’s small bits of green apple. I was so surprised how well the sweetness of the green apple cut the sourness of the lime. The fish was large chunk of cod that were still soft and not rubbery so it hadn’t sit in the lime to too long. One of the better ceviche’s I’ve had. I do wish I had saladitas but that’s just me. The poke bowl was solid. It was well dressed, and the different chunk of fish were fresh, not sushi fresh, but lent itself to the dish well. I didn’t have anything to complain about but nothing stood out in particular. Again solid like bowl and we ended it bringing it home cause like bowls always carry well, just nothing to write home about, or Facebook in this case. Overall still pleasantly surprised and there’s definitely more I want to try when we go back. I also didn’t feel bloated and sluggish afterward so that’s always a plus. Would recommend but may not be for everyone 7.6/10 What we ordered Humus Fried Cauliflower Green Fish Ceviche Godzilla poke bowl We spent $56"

"Greens and Lemons offers a pleasant dining experience. The staff is welcoming, and the atmosphere is very modern and chill. However, it was surprisingly empty for a Saturday night at 7 pm. On the food front, most dishes were good, although my Greek bowl's lamb was a tad on the dry side. Nevertheless, the flavors were enjoyable. Overall, a solid choice for a meal."

"It was our first time here at the McAllen location. David was our server. He was very kind and welcoming. He recommended some delicious apple ginger shots. For dinner my husband had the chicken and waffles. I had the Cobb salad. Both dishes were delicious. The table comes with complimentary chips and hummus. The hummus has these, seems like pickled onions, which I don't usually like raw onions but these were tasty. Also, the cucumber lemonade was soooo good. Not overly sweetened, which we really loved. The restaurant has such a nice ambiance. Cute decor."

"My first time here. It's not typically my "go to" place for breakfast/brunch. I went here with a group of colleagues for brunch. The place was very clean. The prices in the menu were somewhat steep for it being a simple brunch. However, it was very fresh tasting. All the ingredients used for my meal: nopales, black beans, and veggies tasted very fresh. I was very satisfied with my healthier version of the typical omelette. Their coffee was also flavorful, not weak or bland, (I drink my coffee black). The server tended to our needs in an expeditious and friendly manner, considering we were a large party. All in all, Great Healthy Brunch!"

"I used to go to the one in Mission but recently moved to Edinburg. When I found out they opened one on this side of town I was so thankful! Greens & Lemons is one of the few locally owned places that is consistent in quality and taste! The food here is truly delicious & any of their Mediterranean dishes are as authentic as they get! It is gorgeously decorated - seriously you’ll have plenty of photo opps here. Also, congrats on staffing, everyone was super nice & attentive. I ordered to-go tonight and they took good care of me with extra sauces & utensils & all!"
