Bonhomia

"If you find yourself wandering the historic downtown streets of McAllen, TX, do yourself a favor and swing by Bonhomia. This small eatery packs a big punch with its awesome menu! I recently indulged in their breakfast sandwich featuring ham, oraline bacon, and a perfectly cooked medium easy egg on sourdough – it was downright amazing! And let's not forget those crispy fried potatoes that hit the spot just right. To wash it all down, I opted for an americano, and let me tell you, it tasted like it came straight from the freshest, highest quality beans. The overall experience was top-notch, from the delicious food to the awesome service. Needless to say, we'll definitely be back for more Bonhomia goodness!"

"I’m guessing the place is new, because all the staff seemed panicked and confused. We ordered 2 items. Then they came back to our table more than 5 mins later and said they didn’t have them. Ordered new food. (More on the food later) then our bill had the charges for the food they didn’t have in stock. They corrected the bill before we paid. Egg white omelet was just carrots and tomatoes wrapped in a paper thin layer of eggs. My wife’s main was mostly sauces and beans I think. We ordered two deserts, triple chocolate was okay but the maple flavored desert was very sweet and had the smell of maple before you got close to it. I’m assuming that means it artificial maple flavoring but not 100% on that. Nice decor however and the staff is trying. Issues feel like management not staff issues"

"Food was ok. Duck and potato was interesting I personally didn’t like it but I got it for the experience. The matcha white chocolate was really interesting it was a very sweet cream? The lavender lemonade was very sweet but it didn’t taste like lavender at all just tastes like lemonade plus I kept getting those lavender buds on my mouth and it was uncomfortable. I didn’t like the service I had to wave down people and they’d just tap another servers shoulder and tell them to come up to our table. At one point the guys who attended us since we first sat down just clocked out and left so I didn’t even know who to flag down anymore. And the group of servers just sent another guy to our table. It was really annoying and the service was so bad because of it. Overall I wouldn’t dine in. I would definitely pick up a dessert but thats it."

"Every time I see chilaquiles on the menu I am drawn to them. There were 3 variants on the menu and I chose the black chilaquiles. They were ridiculous. When I first got my plate I thought it was going to be too rich or too dark tasting or even mercury squid ink tasting but I was wrong. The sauce was black but the flavor was bright slightly spicy even though I asked for the extra spicy but it tasted vibrant and acidic and just down right tasty. They were just so damn good and I can't explain it just go try them for yourself. @bonhomiaonmain @chefraquelrivera major props. These are memorable. Very modern cutesy restaurant but the food and pastries definitely live up to the hype and the beautiful asthedics of this restaurant."
