My Honest RGV REVIEW:

The Dog Stadium
1402 N Closner Blvd
Edinburg TX 78541

So back in the day me and my momma would always have breakfast on Sundays at a place in Edinburg called “Colimas” and it was our little tradition. Place closed around Covid times, maybe even before, and it’s been businesses here and there so I never paid them any attention. Then I saw a sign that read “The Dog Stadium” and my attention was set! And thank god it did becuase this business and owner are reviving this little Corner Gem in Edinburg TX!

Service:
As soon as we arrived Restaurant owner, Edgar Perales, greeted us at the door with a huge smile and hand shake! We walked in and I was suddenly rushed with a beautiful sense of nostalgia being inside of a building with so many wonderful memories I had with my Momma, may she Rest In Peace. Edgar and his very helpful and friendly staff helped us navigate through their menu. I then asked if they had high chairs for children and without any hesitation the young lady that took our order strung out from the back and got us a high chair for my babyboy! Little details like that mean a lot to customers and I hope they know it doesn’t go unnoticed.

Score: 10 out of 10

Fries:
So I got the opportunity to try all of their fry options and I have to say, they are all amazing! Out of all of them tho I have to say that the “Champ Cheddar Fries” take the crown and remain the champs for a reason! Perfectly fried, perfectly seasoned and the perfect combo of Cheese and Crema!

Score: 9 out of 10

Hotdogs:
I ordered the “Rollie Dog” which comes with Nacho Cheese, House Sauce, and crush up Hot Cheetos. My wife ordered the “Vaquero Dog” which comes with Avacado, Pico, House Sauce, and Bacon bits. The hotdogs were AMAZING! The bun was perfectly buttered, and toasted. Every ingredient tasted amazing and top notch! The dog itself was so fulfilling and THICK! One hotdog is worth more than what they are charging for, and I let the owner know that!

Score: 9.8 out of 10

And last but definitely least, the HIGHLIGHT of the night:

The Fried Elote Bites:
Sweet mother of GAWD!!!! If I could inhale these, I would…TWICE! Beautifully fried Corn Bites dressed in everything you’d love on a street corn PLUS their amazing House Sauce! Now let me tell yall about this House Sauce! I ain’t giving out all the secrets but if you love a flavorful Spicy Mayo then you’re going to fall in love with this House Sauce! I feel like I could add this on anything!

Score:
10 out of 10
(If I could go higher then I would!)

Overall:
I had a very humbling conversation with the owner. We shared life stories, both being Sons Of The Beautiful City Of Edinburg, and I learned a lot about his character. Edgar is a man of the people. He cares more about providing the best possible product over making a profit and after tasting his food, he really isn’t lying. After hearing what he has planned for his business it’s both exciting and comforting to know that this Little Gem Of a Corner is in good hands! The food will speak for itself, the service is EXCEPTIONAL, and the Man running the show is a  thorough bread, and I’m placing my bet on him.

My Honest RGV Review3

Movie: Eggnog, Sugar Cookies and Misery
By Joe Aor Rios

I had the honor and privilege of being one of the first ones to get a early release from Joe Rios first movie on 6 years! And I have to say, he came back onto the scene with a BANG…literally!!!

The breakdown:

Acting: it’s Valley Made Indie film with a low budget so obviously the acting isn’t the best, but that doesn’t mean the actors didn’t do a good job! Everyone looked like they had a blast in this movie!

Score: 7 out of 10

Story: this movie was filled with so many twist and turns that it won’t let you be comfortable at all! Just when you think the storyline is setting in, BOOM! Another twist or turn! That says a lot about the writing and thought that went into this movie.

Score: 9 out of 10

Overall: this movie was a fun watch with a deep underline message. Over all it was Joe Rios first movie back after taking a long break and I like to think it was a success. It’s a Christmas movie like I’ve never seen before and I have a good feeling yall will get a kick out of it.

Final score:

8 out of 10

My Honest RGV Review

TACOS MI RANCHITO
1023 West Monte Cristo Rd. Edinburg TX

So I had been looking for new spots to try out but with a 2yr that’s in his full “terrible Twos” era, it’s been a challange. Thankfully my sister came thru and babysat, allowed us to finally try this place, and I have to say….i think I found my new favorite taco spot!!!

The Beans:
I’m not a fan of Charro beans. Never have. My wife on the other hand judges a taqueria based off of the beans and she said she loved them! In her words, “ok…this place already started off good!”
8 out of 10

Lemonade:
homemade and delicious! Not overly sweet and extremely refreshing.
9.5 out of 10

Papa Asada con Bisteak:
One thing I will say is that these people give you everything you pay for and then some! It was PACKED with meat and extremely delicious. Also it was huge. Easy for like 2-3 people.
8.5 out of 10

Tacos de Bisteak en Mais:
Extremely generous with their portions and I have to say, the tortilla was done amazingly. Crispy yet soft and full of flavor and the Carne was also juicy and delicious as well.
9 out of 10

Tacos de Bisteak en Harina:
Probably one of the best tacos I’ve ever had. Like ever! I specifically asked if the tortillas was packaged or homemade and I found out right away that it was definitely homemade! So soft and yet somehow delicious and flavorful. Not to mention the Bisteak itself was amazing as well!
9.5 out of 10

Overall:
This place was amazing. Did not realize how good it was going to be but thank god that we stopped by and I hope this gets a lot of shares cuz this business definitely deserve more attention.

My Honest RGV Review:

Eski-tequiero

This is one of those places that I would never think to do one of these reviews for. A “corn in a cop place” isn’t something I like to think is worthy of a review…but boy was I WRONG!!!!

Me and my little family went out and about and I mentioned “hey babe, let’s try something out of left field” and that’s when we found Eski-Tequiero, and from the second we walked in to the second we walked out, it was an amazing experience!

Staff: when we walked in the staff greeted us with huge smiles and were extremely friendly and helpful when it came to explaining everything on the menu! Went into every detail on to how everything is made!

Lemonade:
Now this is my zone right here! Anyone that knows me can tell you I love me a good homemade lemonade, and let me just say, this one is probably one of the best I’ve ever had!!!

Traditional Esquite:
One this I really liked about this corn was the char on it! Roasted to perfection and right off the cob! Seasoned perfectly as well!
9.5 out of 10

MiniGordo:
The best Corn In A Cup I’ve ever had. Hands down!!!! The corn was hot and beautifully roasted! It was creamy, and the hot Cheeto dust just took it over the edge. Can’t think of anything wrong with it at all!
10 out of 10!!!!

Flechitas aka Corn Ribs:
Mini Esquites lol, these are amazing cuz they really do feel like eating ribs lol except Street Corn Flavored. These are awesome and I’ll totally be having these again!
9 out of 10

And last but not least!!!!

Eski-Pan Prep:
Corn Bread on STEROIDS!!! Imagine a cross between Corn Bread and a Tres Leches Cake! Naw yall…yall ain’t ready for this! Almost made a tear come to my eye! lol. No but really, the most delicious Corn Bread I’ve ever had, plus add that Tres Leches Elements PLUS STRAWBERRIES CON CREMA!! CALLATE CHUT’UP!!
10 out of 10!!!!!!!!!

Over all we had an amazing experience, cannot wait to go back!
