Commissioner Pepe Cabeza de Vaca, representing District 6, has officially proclaimed October 2025 as Native Plant Month in McAllen.
Native plants are vital to our natural and cultural heritage and to the very air we breathe. The Tamaulipan Thornforest and other native habitats in the Rio Grande Valley support species found nowhere else in the U.S.
This month, we’re planting more than 2,000 native plants through initiatives like Tiny Forests, School Butterfly Gardens, and Community Plant Giveaways. An additional 20,000 plants will be added this fall as part of the Center for Urban Ecology expansion at Quinta Mazatlán.
Quinta Mazatlán is also hosting over 30 educational programs, including the VIP Night “Very Important Plants” on October 16. McAllen’s trees contribute over $5 million annually in ecosystem services and help drive eco-tourism.
Native plants save water, support wildlife, and beautify our city, for today and for generations to come.
The South Texas Book Festival wouldn’t be the same without the support of partners like raisingcanes. Their sponsorship helps us keep this community tradition alive and free for everyone to enjoy.

Today we celebrate 17 YEARS of doing business in the Rio Grande Valley. Wow, what a ride it has been, and how time truly flies.
Larry & I moved from Austin, TX to McAllen in 2008, to open up house wine & bistro, and we have made the Rio Grande Valley our home ever since.
In our 17 years of doing business in McAllen, we have served hundreds of thousands of diners, helped you celebrate birthdays, wedding proposals, anniversaries, girls night out, just dining on any given Tuesday, and helped curate moments that matter at your table. We have trained and mentored thousands of team members to deliver excellent service and execute incredible food. We have had highs and lows, great times and tough times, but in the end, we have had the privilege of serving YOU.
We want to thank our amazing team, present, past & future, for giving your all, to our amazing patrons. Your Dedication & Confidence, in Delgado Collective, has continued to make house wine & bistro a McAllen staple. Each one of you has made a lasting imprint in our story and we look forward to many more chapters with our incredible team.
What a pleasure and honor it has been to serve each one of you along the way. We are so grateful for your business and patronage for the last 17 years. You have allowed a small business and family to do what we love for many years. We have lived the American dream, of owning our own business and serving our faithful customers, with kindness, greatness, and integrity. We thank God everyday for His countless blessings and we look forward to serving you for 17 more!
As a thank you for your patronage & support, we will be offering $17 Bottles of house wine, all month of October! Just ask for the Anniversary Bottle and choose Chardonnay or Cabernet Sauvignon.
From the bottom of our hearts, thank you for love, support & patronage. We wouldn't be in business today, without each one of you coming through our doors, and our gratitude is endless. We look forward to serving you soon and to continue to deliver incredible food and offer world class service in the Rio Grande Valley.
Eat Often! Eat Well!
Sincerely,
Chef Larry & Jessica Delgado

Quinta Mazatlan World Birding Center
Commissioner Pepe Cabeza de Vaca, representing District 6, has officially proclaimed October 2025 as Native Plant Month in McAllen. Native plants are vital to our natural and cultural heritage and to the very air we breathe. The Tamaulipan Thornforest and other native habitats in the Rio Grande Valley support species found nowhere else in the U.S. This month, we’re planting more than 2,000 native plants through initiatives like Tiny Forests, School Butterfly Gardens, and Community Plant Giveaways. An additional 20,000 plants will be added this fall as part of the Center for Urban Ecology expansion at Quinta Mazatlán. Quinta Mazatlán is also hosting over 30 educational programs, including the VIP Night “Very Important Plants” on October 16. McAllen’s trees contribute over $5 million annually in ecosystem services and help drive eco-tourism. Native plants save water, support wildlife, and beautify our city, for today and for generations to come.

House wine and bistro
Today we celebrate 17 YEARS of doing business in the Rio Grande Valley. Wow, what a ride it has been, and how time truly flies. Larry & I moved from Austin, TX to McAllen in 2008, to open up house wine & bistro, and we have made the Rio Grande Valley our home ever since. In our 17 years of doing business in McAllen, we have served hundreds of thousands of diners, helped you celebrate birthdays, wedding proposals, anniversaries, girls night out, just dining on any given Tuesday, and helped curate moments that matter at your table. We have trained and mentored thousands of team members to deliver excellent service and execute incredible food. We have had highs and lows, great times and tough times, but in the end, we have had the privilege of serving YOU. We want to thank our amazing team, present, past & future, for giving your all, to our amazing patrons. Your Dedication & Confidence, in Delgado Collective, has continued to make house wine & bistro a McAllen staple. Each one of you has made a lasting imprint in our story and we look forward to many more chapters with our incredible team. What a pleasure and honor it has been to serve each one of you along the way. We are so grateful for your business and patronage for the last 17 years. You have allowed a small business and family to do what we love for many years. We have lived the American dream, of owning our own business and serving our faithful customers, with kindness, greatness, and integrity. We thank God everyday for His countless blessings and we look forward to serving you for 17 more! As a thank you for your patronage & support, we will be offering $17 Bottles of house wine, all month of October! Just ask for the Anniversary Bottle and choose Chardonnay or Cabernet Sauvignon. From the bottom of our hearts, thank you for love, support & patronage. We wouldn't be in business today, without each one of you coming through our doors, and our gratitude is endless. We look forward to serving you soon and to continue to deliver incredible food and offer world class service in the Rio Grande Valley. Eat Often! Eat Well! Sincerely, Chef Larry & Jessica Delgado #17YearBusinessAnniversary #McAllenEats #DiningWithTheDelgados #KeepTheFireBurnin'
