Uber Eats to Launch in Killeen, Laredo, and McAllen-Brownsville

We recently announced that by the end of the year, Uber Eats will be rolling out into new cities to cover 70% of the U.S. population. On Thursday, November 15, Uber Eats will launch in Killeen, Laredo, and McAllen-Brownsville.

“We’re excited to continue on our momentum by growing in Texas,” said Travis Considine, a spokesperson for Uber Eats in Texas. “We are excited to enter new areas around the state, provide flexible work opportunities for these communities and make it easy for hungry customers to get their favorite, local foods delivered.”

Uber Eats is Uber's stand-alone meal delivery app that makes getting food as easy as requesting a ride, whether you're at home, the office, or the park. As Uber Eats grows around the world, we are able to build upon Uber’s logistics and technology platform to continue to expand in markets where Uber ride-sharing already operates. However, we are also beginning to launch in markets where Uber rides use is smaller.

Eaters can choose from several restaurants in their area including:

Killeen: Lily's Cakes, O'Briens Pub, Chef Ras Kitchen, Sweet Eileen

McAllen-Brownsville: Bar-B-Cuties Smokehouse, Motoramen, Wichitos Buffet & Restaurant, Kato Sushi, Papa Taco

Laredo: Pat’s Kitchen, Raul's BBQ, Jalapeno's Pizza & Wings, TKO Sports Bar, La Unica by Shiloh
