Valley Confidential

Love Buzz

October 5th, 2023

Fun. Fresh. Festive. Fab. The perfect place to spend your next Girls Night Out. This week we partnered with Love Buzz to give you an exclusive sneak peak at their specials for the month of October, to start your spooky season off right.

Kick off your brunch or boost your late night energy with their Basic Witch, a house pumpkin spice latte topped with cinnamon.

Need something a little stronger? Their Ghoul’s Delight is a pumpkin spice espresso martini sure to get the party going.

While their fruity Eyes On You, made with vodka, blue curaçao, grenadine, and pineapple juice is a great and fruity refresher.

Lastly their Drop Dead Gorgeous, vodka, rum, tequila, gin, blue curaçao, sweet & sour mix, and Sprite is perfect for sharing and a great photo-op.

We finished up our tasting with one of their year-round house classics, and a new twist on a breakfast favorite.

Their Pink Chilaquiles were served with a mild red salsa, chicken, cheese, one egg over easy, and flavorful refried beans.

And we finished up with their Casper Oreo Waffles, a house Belgian waffle with vanilla ice cream, and Oreo cookie crumbles.

Overall, Love Buzz is a great place for a fun and feminine night out with plenty of photo-ops to spare (check out their photo-booth gallery), live dj, brunch, sip and paint, and lots of other unique events. The dress code is casual glam, with indoor seating that can accommodate larger groups. Be sure to check out Love Buzz located at 3424 N. Tenth Street in McAllen, TX.
8th Annual Causeway Run

September 7th, 2023

A new perspective on a Valley all time favorite. While it takes 4-5 minutes to drive over the Queen Isabella Causeway (on a good day) on the way to South Padre, have you ever wondered what it would be like to really savor the view and walk or run the bridge? The 8th Annual Causeway Run is coming up, September 16th, 2023, and is the best way to see the Island and the Causeway Bridge in a whole new way.

We attended the 7th annual Causeway Run last year on a whim, and it became an instant tradition ever since.

The 10k run to Louie’s Backyard starts at 7:00 am (6.4 miles), with the 5k walk beginning at 7:15 am (3.2 miles) past the historic Port Isabel Lighthouse, on and over the Causeway.

The view is absolutely stunning and gives you a whole new appreciation for our slice of Valley Paradise.

The 8th Annual Causeway Run is still open for registration, with onsite registration also available September 16, 2023. A shuttle after the walk/run is available to Louie’s Backyard for free refreshments, along with a shuttle back to the Port Isabel Community Center to retrieve your vehicle. Registrants also receive a free shirt while supplies last and a finisher medal once crossing the bridge. You can register day of at 213 N. Yturria St, Port Isabel, Tx Community Center. Or register online at www.SoPadre.com.
