About Us

For decades, City Café and Catering has been the Rio Grande Valley’s home for handcrafted meals, signature sweets, and the warm hospitality our community has come to rely on.

At City Café, we believe that the best recipes don't need to be complicated—they just need to be honest. We’ve spent years perfecting the balance of simple, house-made comfort food and professional culinary craft.

‍Whether you’re walking through our doors for a quiet lunch or trusting us to cater your organization’s most important milestone, our mission remains the same: to treat you like family. We take pride in being a full-service partner for McAllen’s celebrations and boardrooms alike. For us, success isn't just about serving great food; it’s about the relationships we’ve built over the years and the privilege of being part of your most memorable moments.
