“Delicious as always!! Endless shrimp and lobster was very buttery!”
“Una Noche de Magia Gastronómica en Chilmoli Restaurant No todas las cenas comienzan con un giro inesperado: una cita cancelada por emergencia puede dejar a cualquiera en incertidumbre. Pero en mi caso, se convirtió en una experiencia única y transformadora en Chilmoli Restaurant, donde la soledad encontró sabor, arte y calidez. Desde el momento en que probé su nueva creación —empanadas de chicharrón en salsa verde, acompañadas de chimichurri y una salsa verde perfectamente picante— supe que esta noche iba a ser memorable. El equilibrio entre tradición y audacia es un sello evidente del Chef Rafael, quien eleva cada platillo a una obra de arte, demostrando una pasión culinaria que se saborea con cada bocado. La mezcalita de jamaica refrescó con un toque floral y misterioso, mientras que la ensalada de betabel, que en otros tiempos hubiera evitado, sorprendió por su elegancia y el juego armónico de ingredientes. Jamás pensé que el betabel pudiera seducirme así —solo en Chilmoli. El equipo de Chilmoli no se queda atrás. Ale Zamarron y la Gerente Tere me brindaron una atención tan cálida como personalizada. Tere, en particular, cerró mi noche con un gesto y sonrisa que no se encuentran en manuales de servicio, sino en corazones genuinos. El gran final: Tuétano con tacos de ribeye. El ribeye, cocido a la perfección, jugoso y tiernamente sazonado, coronó una velada digna de ser contada. El tuétano aportó profundidad y lujo al plato, como un poema escrito en grasa dorada. Chilmoli no es solo un restaurante. Es una afirmación de que todos merecemos momentos que nos recuerden lo especiales que somos. Después de un día agotador, uno sale con la certeza de que no solo alimentó el cuerpo —también el alma. Gracias, Gerente Tere y Ale y todo el equipo, por convertir lo ordinario en extraordinario. Que este espacio siga brillando y prosperando.”

“We had Dodici Mobile cater our wedding dinner, and they were amazing. Dante was so easy to work with. He was super helpful, full of great ideas, and willing to meet with us to make sure everything was just right. Best of all, it wasn’t your typical wedding food. Having their pizza was such a fun and refreshing change. It made the dinner feel more personal. On the day of the wedding, they served 200 guests quickly and smoothly. The food was incredible, which was expected. Our guests couldn’t stop talking about it. Dodici never misses (the restaurant and catering). If you’re planning an event, I can’t recommend them enough!”
“It is refreshing to come to Brownsville and have a concept like Malachela available with a solid beer selection and tasty bites from an exciting menu. I look forward to returning and trying more food! The molleja tacos are a must have order and they are approachable for the demographic.”
“There’s a reason businesses like Toddle Inn continue to thrive while so many mom-and-pop restaurants struggle. The owner doesn’t just make sure customers are treated with genuine care, he also looks after his employees. This morning, I witnessed that commitment firsthand, and it was one of the most refreshing sights in a world so often consumed by corporate greed. Let’s keep supporting this restaurant and others like it, because that’s how we keep our local gems alive.”
“Just great! Nice environment, great customer service, clean.The best frozen yogurt with flavors all delicious! Matcha is one of my favorites! Great options such as: sugar free, lactose free, and sweetened by stevia...take time and give it a visit, you will be very satisfied!??”
“I enjoy stopping by this HEB because they usually have the Flaming Bird items that I'm looking for. The other HEB that I frequent tends to run out of their Flaming Bird items quickly, but I understand why. On top of them having great food, they have great service! There's one employee in particular, Rocco, who will go above and beyond to make your dining experience better. I have to say, his customer service skills are fantastic and so is his warm disposition. I'll definitely be returning to this location for my Flaming Bird needs! :)”
“Drinks- Beesknees is my absolute favorite; mildly sweet and tangy <3 ( photo is of another drink )
Service- gosh, bartenders are great; they sure know how to make spot on recommendations ;) ( specially Alice )
Food- I tried the potatoes, ONE OF THE BEST FRICKIN POTATOES IVE HAD FROM A SPOT
( I’m not overe exaggerating, I’m a natural hater so this means a lot )
Ambience- decent music, cool spot, you don’t need to scream at your companion for them to hear you)”
“Red snapper in la diabla was delicious Fish Broth needed more flavor The availability of options was a plus. Will be coming back again! Waitress was very attentive 4 star rating”
Online Reservation Available
“Went with my family and the food was excellent! The pancakes I got were very nice and fluffy and the chai tea I got was also very good! The dessert we got was just the perfect amount of sweet to finish off the meal. Overall the presentation and taste of the food here was amazing!”
“Had a great steak dinner! Husband and I shared a 16oz ribeye dinner. It was a 16oz boneless ribeye, baked potato and asparagus. Waitress didn’t bat an eye for sharing and was very accommodating. Service was great and food was delicious. Restroom very clean. Highly recommended!”
“Chill bar with great drinks and good food. My fav is the panchos with a cold Dos XX. Servers & bartenders are always attentive & nice. the regulars in there are so funny and I hear sometimes they have trivia nights! Def recommend.”
“Great entertainment event place to have a great time with your kids and family. We always have an amazing time with Chuck E Cheese.”

“This day I went minutes before three in the afternoon and no one helped me. I was waiting for 10 minutes. Bad service from the staff on duty in the afternoon. The girls who are there in the morning are very attentive and friendly. They do their job well and the food is delicious.”
“My wife and I have been coming to this place for several years now and we are so pleased with their service. JC, the manager is so attentive and friendly and if we could give them more stars we would. The waitress who served us today, Rose, and Francis are the best waitresses we’ve had.”
“I enjoyed my food, customer service was great, and they even allowed me to buy extra from my original order, without making faces, and I will go again.
Vegetarian options: Jack In the Box offers vegetables, good salad options, and not brown.
Parking: Plenty of parking spaces (8+), readily available away from the street, and clean of trash, debris, too.
Kid-friendliness: My kid's favorite shake is always a plus (Oreo Cookie Shake).
Wheelchair accessibility: There is accessible amenities and restroom, too”
“Lola's Bistro has become my new favorite place to dine. The food is amazing, fresh and appealing to all the senses. It is pricey, yes. But so worth it. The pear salad is probably my favorite. Along with the crème brûlée. Their mocktails are also to die for.”
“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.”
Takeout Restaurants
“We LOVE coming here. Best Seafood Restaurant in Brownsville, hands down. Honestly, probably in South Texas. We love seafood and have tried many different places. But, none like these.The food is freshly made and delicious!The waitress is a younger girl and she’s absolutely fantastic, Karla. She is amazing! We got the Mariscada for 2 and a Fish Taco and Soup . Amazing!”
“Our waitress Mia as soon as she arrive to welcome us her positive attitude got our attention. We placed our order and we were satisfied with our appetizer Knickerbocker Cheesy Bread was delicious and you have options to choose toppings. The Boneless wings are lightly breaded and juicy made of fresh chicken breast.It’s a family friendly restaurant. Definitely we will return within a few weeks. Jorge was another employee that was very helpful.”
“What a LOVELY coffee shop with a beautiful, calm atmosphere AND A DRIVE-THRU ❤️ My kiddos and I stopped here to use their wifi for an online course and they have really awesome tables and workspaces! We thoroughly enjoyed their cookies and chia tea ❤️ Definitely coming back ❤️”
“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”
“Amazing pizza & the owner is a great guy! Place your order, you won’t be disappointed. Thank you, Hugo!!!!”
“Agradable el lugar con una decoración rústica moderna y buena cocina”
Drive-Thru Restaurants
“Best coffee & best prices in town. Even when the line is wrapped around the building you'll spend less than 5 minutes waiting for your order. Always consistent with taste. I've never had an unpleasant interaction with anyone working there and these people have a smile on their face no matter how miserable it is outside. Couldn't ask for better service”

“Raising Cane’s never disappoints. The chicken fingers are always hot, crispy, and juicy, and the Cane’s Sauce is the real MVP—perfect for dipping everything. The Texas toast and crinkle-cut fries round out the meal just right. Simple menu, but they do it really well. Can't say much on the coleslaw since I always swap It out for extra toast. Overall, If you're craving quality chicken tenders, Cane’s is the spot.”
“First time there and I was extremely impressed with the hospitality and service. We were having a function and several times were asked if we needed more drinks by the staff.”
Cheap Eats
“It’s a very good seafood restaurant, we ordered the stuffed avocado and was really good, my son and husband ordered the fish and breaded shrimp very good served, my daughter does not eat seafood so she ordered the chicken nuggets that were ok; and I ordered the Philadelphia shrimp wrapped in bacon it was really good! I will comeback ☺️”
“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 .”
“Loved all the treats and she was wonderful to work with. She answered all my questions and concern and she knew exactly what I needed. Highly recommend her! Very professional!”
“ordered a 32 piece and were not disappointed! got Nashville hot and santa fe. Nashville wasn't very hot but still tasty. wings were great size and cooked perfectly. so juicy. fries also good. just needed a tad more seasoning. 8 out of 10 will order again!”
“excellent spot to hang out with friends or do business, great cocktails, great service and I love the design and decoration of the place!”
“I'm a big fan of Donkey's Butt. They use high quality beans and do an excellent job roasting. I found them several years ago at the South Padre Island Farmer's Market and I've been buying beans from them ever since. My fav is their Espresso beans!”
“exisito el consome la birria y los taquitos de chicharrón mmm.100% recomendados💕”
“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.”

“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.”
“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!”
“Been coming here for Sunday breakfast, and the waitress are very friendly and have good service, besides the food is good here, so they must have a really good cook or cooks back in their. Only thing that would be nice is if they had a big parking lot, sometimes it's hard to find a spot to park in.”
“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!”
“The food is very delicious
The place is very clean and pleasant.
The waiters, there is one in particular who serves very friendly and is fast, sometimes they put him as a cashier ?”
“Went in by myself without a reservation on a Wednesday night and the manager was very nice and accommodating to me, he let me get a table to watch the sunset while Salvador treated me to 5 star service!! I ordered a tamarindo margarita and I told Salvador to surprise me with the second one so he brought me a cucumber margarita and they both were absolutely prefect. Y'all made my evening and have made a return customer out of me, I will be back on my next trip to Brownsville. Beautiful place with a beautiful view on the water!!
Thanks guys!”
“From our entrance to our leaving, I had such a wonderful experience at this restaurant. The staff, the appetizers, the wine 🍷 and course was perfection. There was a wonderful vocalist who was outstanding.”
“Had the burger it was super cooked when it was supposed to be medium I sent it back and still got it well done :/ everything thing else was good.
The salad was too sweet with Italian dressing.”
