Reynosa has experienced tremendous growth in recent years, especially in the industrial
sector, bringing hundreds of businessmen looking to start investing in the city, this has
caused Reynosa to become one of the most important urban centers along the US-Mexico border.
The city shares its borders with McAllen, Texas, creating a perfect opportunity for
international tourists looking for the most qualified and trained doctors in the region;
giving them an easy-crossing option to Reynosa in their cars or walking, this location
offers its visitors a wide selection of accommodations on both cities to stay during their
entire medical treatment.
One of the great things about Reynosa is the way it mixes many aspects of Mexican and
American cultures together; take for example Parque Cultural Reynosa, it offers many
exhibits showcasing the talents of local and international artists, including paintings,
concerts, photography, and even theater plays, allowing you to have a taste of both worlds
in just a single location.
The gastronomy of Reynosa has greatly benefited from its close proximity to the sea, this
means that you will find all of the steaks and cuts of beef that characterize the north of
Mexico, along with a wide variety of fresh and delicious seafood; our recommendations are to
try the traditional Cabrito and have some pieces of Chicharron de Pescado.
With an abundance of activities for all ages in Reynosa, you can go to Reynosa’s Cathedral
or the Historic Museum to discover the history of the city; spend the day watching a soccer
game or improving your golfing skills, and if you’re traveling with your family, spend the
afternoon in a relaxing boat ride in Reynosa’s Zoo, the possibilities are endless.
You can pay with US dollars and credit or debit cards on most restaurants and
establishments. Remember that if you pay with USD the exchange rate will be lower, we
recommend that you turn your currency into Mexican pesos by visiting a foreign exchange
agency, a bank or an ATM.
