My wife and I decided to try someplace new and we went to the Coast on North 10th in McAllen. We are not into some of the stuff on the menu but what we ordered was good. I would certainly go back. Since our favorite Chinese place has gone down the tube, this appears to be the only decent one left in town. You might try it.
