“Food and service was excellent ❤️ reasonable prices for premium food! my only suggestion is that they hire more people that speak fluent English considering how fast the RGV is growing. Both servers and the hostess in the front barely spoke any English. (They were awesome btw ❤️) Many people are coming in from all over the country and different countries as well. Luckily, I speak fluent Spanish and was able to communicate effectively, but I know there’s people in Brownsville who don’t speak any spanish. I had to help our waitress translate for my husband which I don’t mind doing, but what if one day they encounter a couple or a family that can’t translate for one another. Just a friendly suggestion ❤️ zero complaints ❤️ as mentioned, everything was delicious and the service was fast! ❤️ 10/10 recommend!”
“Delicious as always!! Endless shrimp and lobster was very buttery!”
“I am extremely allergic to gluten, and this place serves everything gluten free! I have tried countless gluten free products and restaurants but the flavor is never great, not the case here. Everything I have tried is delicious. I highly recommend it.”
Restaurants by Cuisine
“We had an incredible dining experience at Sodres Cuisine. I ordered the Citrus Capers Shrimp Linguine and my husband had the Cilantro Lime Chicken—both dishes were made to perfection, bursting with flavor and beautifully presented. Our waiter, Omar, was outstanding. He was genuinely warm, attentive, and gave thoughtful recommendations from the menu that really elevated our experience. The ambiance of the restaurant struck the perfect balance between casual and chic, with a fresh, inviting atmosphere that made us feel instantly at ease. Sodres Cuisine is definitely a place we’ll return to and recommend to friends—whether for a date night or a relaxed dinner with great food and service.”

“Bright and uplifting atmosphere. You order, pay, and tip at the register before receiving food and service. Which I find a little off putting. For the price of the meals, I believe you should be seated and your order taken at the table. I don’t mind paying you able to get up and leave without waiting on the server. Crepes & waffles are great. I wish they would offer real maple syrup tho. Benedict was okay, they didn’t sear/brown the ham. Other food was decent and plating is cute.”
“House music ! Lounge bar ! The vibes are IMMACULATE! Literally a vibe ! Ask for Alice to make your drinks. I live an hour away from this place but when I visit Brownsville, I’m happy to see this woman because she is KNOWLEDGEABLE with craft drinks !!!! always glad to see her every time!”
“The employees here were the absolute best people today. My daughter was the only kid there but the staff was super friendly, the mouse still come out and everything I am so impressed with this chuckee🥰 my daughter had the best time, thank y’all!”

Kid-friendliness: My kid's favorite shake is always a plus (Oreo Cookie Shake).

“I ordered the eggs with meat and potatoes, and it exceeded my expectations. The flavors were perfectly balanced, the ingredients tasted fresh, and the portion size was just right. The dish was well-prepared, with the eggs cooked to perfection and the meat tender and flavorful. The potatoes were crispy on the outside and soft on the inside, adding the perfect texture to the meal. Overall, it was an excellent dining experience, and I would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a satisfying and delicious meal.”
“Food is always hot fresh even when they're super busy everybody obviously does their part because it is not busy long I don't think I've ever had a way longer than just 10 maybe 15 minutes for an order and that's like at the most I really appreciate this McDonald's.”
“The service is always great as well as the atmosphere. Even as new restaurants open up around Brownsville, Toscafino still stands out as consistently great and always a good choice to dine. The last time I dined there we got Esmeralda as a waitress and she did an excellent job.”

“Muchos años de preferir Luby’s pero hoy es la primera vez que no duermo debido a que se equivocaron al servirme café regular en lugar de decaf y son las 3:44 am y sigo sin poder dormir y con la presión alta, estábamos en la mesa a un lado de la estación de café y snacks antes de llegar al baño. Dejamos propina como siempre pero el servicio de meseros últimamente es deficiente”
“The food, costumer service, everything about the place is amazing. All the employees seem to have a great time while also putting customers as their top priority. I was attended by Kimberly and she is very outgoing and professional in her position. Everyone does an amazing job and will totally recommend this place.”
“Finally got to try these burgers and they did not disappoint. Very good flavor and the fries had the perfect amount of seasoning. The elote was good too just bit too much mayo for my liking. I will definitely be back.”

“I was very happy with the service at this bar. The atmosphere is very upbeat and the artwork is very nice, it's one of the nicest bars I've been to. The prices are competitive The staff is very helpful and there was even a bartender with a really cool Mohawk.
Go to the bar, and have a good time, I could almost promise you will.”
“We stayed in Brownsville for 4 days and we went to a few snack places and all were trash UNTIL we found this outstanding place!! Besides the wonderful lady attending us, the snacks were the best I have had in the valley! Everything was made fresh and tasted soooo good!! Totally recommend and we will be back! We ate everything and I only got a picture of the super delicious churros .”
“A hidden gem in Brownsville!! Great, delicious food. I was too hungry, and forgot to take a picture of my food, but I got the Almuerzo favorito, and it was fulfilling. The agua frescas are all natural. Tortillas de harina are made from scratch. I did not get my servers name, but she was great!! Always made sure we had everything we needed. Would definitely go again.”
“This coffee has got to be the best coffee I have ever had the pleasure of drinking! The smoothness, the flavor, everything! I would 100% recommend this to anyone, even if they love coffee or not.”
“Deliciosa comida comi el plato conbinado de pescado y camaron empanisado y me gusto mucho fui sola pero regresare con mi esposo!!!Muy buena atenciôn!”
“Their service is amazing. Their bartender team is composed of world-wide known people competing internationally representing USA and other countries. Their attention to their cocktails is uncanny and you will return for more. Music varies depending on the day of the week and is a must visit stop.”
“Most importantly, the food is great! The decor is nice enough and the drinks are typical for a restaurant. But besides the food, what sets Dirty Al’s apart from the rest it’s their service! Starting from the bar, through the wait staff and ending with the manager, the Brownsville location will do everything in their power to make you feel comfortable. Denise the manager, Karla my waiter, Rick & Clarita my bartenders get special mentions. Great place, great food and a good time. P.S. The daily lunch special is affordable and delicious. Give the a try!”

“But the one on central boulevard, has the worst Barbacoa. second time . Taste reheated, an after taste🤮. Hopefully they get a back on track. Sad, cuz it's closer to me.”

“Muyyy ricooo y muchaa variedades de comidas!! muy buen servicio primera ves que vengoo y me trataron muyy bienn regresoo prontooo!!”
“I ordered grilled chicken and Mexican rice.The chicken was pretty good. Their competition next door (Chinese Gourmet Express) does put more flavor on their chicken so I guess its up to your preference.The rice was super oily!!!For drink I got a water cup, no ice, to round up a clean meal. I think they either have a water softener or reverse-osmosis system because the water tasted damn good, and it's free!”
“Love the environment everyone there is GREAT‼️ Especially Jeanette and Josue always making sure I’m taken care of everytime I go 😍🥰”

Latest Reviews
“Best Japanese restaurant that existed in Brownsville. This restaurant was one of my absolute favorites and a hidden jewel that offered great food, service, and cordial atmosphere. The authenticity of the food was beyond measurable and always left the customer satisfied. Those who knew of Sushi Bento’s existence were of the fortunate and privileged to have eaten at this special restaurant. I will forever keep the memories of being greeted and the delicious food that put me through my first years at the University of Texas at the Rio Grande Valley. The fried pork dumplings, Spicy Terry Bento, and the Togarishi Maki were my favorites from their menu. I was deeply saddened to know it is now permanently closed. This restaurant will be missed by many.”
