The Blue Onion

We ate here again for the first time in a few years and it is still wonderful. The food is fresh and homemade and delicious. The artichoke dip is my favorite. A must!

Our party of 4 enjoyed lunch today. and for 3 of us, this was our first time eating there. We were seated immediately, and our waiter arrived promptly. He was personable, knowledgeable about the menu, made suggestions for our consideration, and provided drink refills promptly. The food was delicious. Overall, a very pleasant experience.

I’ve been here on two separate occasions, once with my mother and once with a friend. I’ve tried their flatbread and 3 dip sampler, hummus, gyro, and lunch special (half pesto chicken wrap with side soup). I’ve liked it all. Service has always been attentive, and the place hasn’t ever been full, so there hasn’t ever been a wait.

Light and savory flatbread samplers, fresh salads with flavorful dressings, and good pizzas.

I love the atmosphere, the local artwork on the walls, amazing. Friendly staff, very curtious on the floor, the waiter made a few good suggestions from the menu. For my first time at The valley-​wide famous Blue Onion, I loved the 3 dip appetizer. I thought they had a cactus/​blooming onion, but the onion rings were ok too I suppose. So flavorful. Clean restrooms.

I have had pizzas here. Dips. Triple Dips. Salads. Vegeterian Salads. Meat Salads. Every single time it has been great. The service has been better at some times than others, but it has never been bad. I highly recommend their cucumber martinis, and they have great beer on tap. Great place to grab a bite to eat, or hang out for an afternoon.

I’ve been a fan of this place for years. I’m a longtime customer and love eating at this place. I’m particularly a great fan of the flatbread, which I can eat by itself or with the artichoke dip. The food is very good and I can honestly say that I’ve never found anything on the menu that I did not like. In particular I’m a big fan of the Chicken Wrap. Add a salad and throw in some flatbread and you’ve got yourself a great meal.
It should be noted that of the three locations, this is the only one that has a grill. They take full advantage of that with great burgers, Chicken Wings, Nachos and great fries. I’m not much of a drinker, but we have found that when we take friends here, they love the mixed drinks.
The ambiance is fantastic with great music in the background and interesting art adorning the wall. This is by far one of my favorite restaurants in the Valley!

Really good soup at least the one they have on Thursdays! The roasted garlic and goat cheese was good but the margarita pizza was the best! This is a foodie joint.

Had an awesome meal and cold beer at this place with the family! Loved the homemade chili and all of our party of 5 left happy with their food (quite an accomplishment ’round our parts!). Art on the walls from local artists is a great touch!
The place is a little hard to get to from the highway if you’re not from the area, but follow the signs to the Holiday Inn Express and it’ll lead you right there.

This place is excellent and they make everything from scratch. Mario is a good waiter and very friendly and attentive. The hummus is amazing with the flatbread and their pizza is wonderful. Another exciting treat is the fact they brew beer in house and it’s IPA. I’m very impressed. The only downside I found was the issue with small restaurants of running out of things. My thought is don’t run out of anything ever ever ever. This is the ultimate no no. I would come back for sure as overall I was quite pleased.
I came back again, and this time they really pissed me off, the waitress was horrible and they were out of gumbo. So if you want to have food here it’s really hit and miss if they will actually have what you want. Come here if you feel adventurous to try different things don’t come here if you actually want something specific as they will likely not have it. I’ll likely never come back here as it is far too inconsistent and I’m over it.
I tried it a third time and everything was great food wise but then I went to the beer and they stopped service 5 minutes before I got into the bar. They served one time and now nothing. I’m really pissed off as this is ridiculous. No excuse whatsoever for this inconsistency.

We saw good reviews on Unilocal,so decided to give the Blue Onion a try. It did not disappoint… we had salads for lunch the first day, very large portion and fresh– I had the grilled veggie and my husband had the chicken. Both were delicious. The second time we went it was chilly out so we had soup– I had the tomatillo and my husband had the fisherman’s stew. Both were great but the tomatillo was a bit bland for my liking. Still, it was pretty good. Servers both times were fantastic; very accommodating and helpful.

Mixed reviews from the four people at our table. My pesto chicken sandwich was tasty but came quite late compared to the rest of the meals at our table. The pepperoni pizza was a hit. The flatbread with caramelized onions and goat cheese was forgettable. All in all, we decided we could find something better in the future so no plans to return.

This location used to great but now it is terrible. Last two times they got my order wrong and we’re rude about it. The final time they not only gave me the wrong toppings on my pizza but the whole underside of the crust was burnt black and was super bitter. When I didn’t eat any of it and said I’d just pay for my tea and go elsewhere, the maneger I talked to was very rude. I used to love this place! :(

Great Meals in a Bowl!
Friday Beef Stew
Saturday Chili
Sunday Tortilla Soup
All Good!!!

Super tasty greek, pizza, salad type food. I had the three kinds of dip, they were all delicious! The best part is the staff, especially Mariela, she is wonderful. Will definitely come back here, I want t o try the chocolate cake next time. the blueberry bread pudding was DELICIOUS.

I’ve been coming here for years and I have never deviated from getting the Shrimp and Feta Wrap w/​Artichoke Heart Dip. And their beer selection is better than you’ll ever find in Weslaco. Will keep coming here for years to come.

This place had the best salad and flat bread. I ordered the roasted garlic flat bread and it was awesome. I thought the dish was really smart, simple yet delicious. The meat in the fajita salad was perfection and the greens in the salad were super fresh. It was one of the best salads I have ever had. The tomato Basil soup was delicious and totally not what I expected. Don’t get the chicken wings, they were not impressive.

Been eating here for several years when in town. Always good. Their soups are really great. Lots of flatbreads and wraps.

Not a fan… except for the ritas. Stayed at the Holiday Inn Express next door and I did not want to drive for dinner. The hotel desk clerk recommended this place, and so we went. Food was bad. Really bad. Had the nachos El Pastor… bad. The menu very basic and I had the El Pastor Calzone. Bad. To many cold sautéed onions. The salsa that was served with it. Yuck.
My business associate order a medium peperoni pizza, and he described it as CiCi’s quality. Not good.
Our server was so in our face from the beginning, that I had to tell him to settle down. They also did not have pickled jalapeños. Really?
If not for the $ 5.00 ritas, easy 1 star. Next night I did not want to drive for dinner. Choice: Burger King or the Blue Onion. The Whopper won!

How lucky am I?
Stay at Holiday Inn Express in Weslaco and I end up right next to this place that serves great food, craft beers and they even make their own beers!
Server was great and helped me through menu and then started talking craft beer and how they recently started making their own in-​house.
I had the Gyro Wrap w/​Marinated Cucumbers+Black Bean Salad for lunch.
Will be going back for dinner and some beer!
