Food was really good, the burger tasted like if it was home cooked. The shrimp plate was delicious, and the churros were so good!

This place has the best burgers in town but it could use some renovations aside from that it is really good.

There are few places left from my childhood that I can still say I go to. Mostly cuz they are all gone. But Starlight burger has been serving burgers to hungry folks in the barrio since the 1970s. Nothing special about the burger ingredients. Standard burger patties and standard buns. But they do them like the old days. Fries are hand cut and fresh. If you expect McDonald style shoestring potatoes you will be sorely disappointed. Burgers are made on the grill by old timers and some new kids, and they don't change their style, strictly old school. Thumbs way up on my favorite burger place.

When in town this is a must! I came here after seeing the reviews and was immediately impressed to what others were saying. Upon me entering the restaurant, you get this immediate feeling of "old school" burger joint. All the retro games that are there for your enjoyment while you wait is a very nice touch. I ended up ordering a Starlight Burger combo with chili cheese fries. My burger and fries were made fresh to order, though I wish the patty was a little thicker, but no complaints. The burger was seasoned and cooked perfectly. With the tangy mustard, stout onions and sweet tomatoes all adding to the amazing flavor. Now let's get to the chili cheese fries. I am a fanatic for chili cheese fries. This was probably one of the best I've had in a while. Not only did the chili and cheese cover the entire portion of fries, but it mixed and cohered like Jack and Rose from Titanic, until I came along and tore it apart. This place is forever on my list when I come to McAllen and should be yours too.
