McAllen, Texas 🌭 UPDATE: PORTILLO’S IS COMING TO McALLEN!
If you haven’t been following our updates, you might have missed the massive news: Portillo’s is officially coming to McAllen! We now have the official state records and the latest construction updates directly from the developer to confirm exactly what is happening at the old Civic Center site near 10th Street and Expressway 83. According to the filings, the project is registered under the name "Portillos" and will be located at the US-83 Frontage Road and 12th Street. The estimated $5 million project will feature a 6,250-square-foot standalone restaurant complete with an outdoor patio and their signature "order canopy" for a dual-lane drive-thru classic Portillo’s style.
At this week’s McAllen City Commission meeting, developer Michael Fallek provided a key status update on the "McAllen City Center" project. He confirmed that most of the heavy lifting is already behind them, stating that "infrastructure has been completed" and "everything underground is in place." Crews are currently on-site pouring parking lots and working on the driveways to prepare for vertical construction. Fallek noted they are now getting ready to build the multi-tenant retail strip next door.
While the retail building and the Portillo’s pad site (Lot 4) will go vertical first, the planned Marriott hotel and parking garage will be part of a future phase. Fallek noted the hotel is facing a "timing issue," but there is a silver lining for future diners as the developers are paving the hotel’s designated land right now to provide immediate, extra parking for the retail shops and the expected crowds.
Get your Chicago dogs ready, McAllen! 🌭🍟
