“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.”
“Food was good. Walked in & felt very welcomed. Place is clean and tidy. Food was good and fresh. 10/10 recommend 👌”
“This was my fourth time to dine at Chilmoli. I treated my daughter and her wife to this exquisite restaurant. The food was delicious , however the service lacked for this high end restaurant. We had reservations at 8:30 and didn't get seated until 20 minutes later. When we attempted to get cocktails while waiting, we were told we had to wait to get seated. The waiter was not enthusiastic about service. We asked for menus four times before we received one. It was disappointing.”

“we went for Valentine's Day and we feel in love with the place”
“OMG! Ever since we saw the sign on the building before they opened, my son has kept an eye on it because he was excited to try it. Today, rain or shine, I took him and he freaking LOVED IT! I definately recommend this place 💯!”
“Jolie Petite has to be my favorite diner in Brownsville. I look forward to going back. Everything had an original twist, the presentation was great, and every bite left me longing for another. The service was attentive, and the eggs Benedict was the best I’ve ever had. The espresso was indulgent, and my Americano was served exactly the way I like it. We brought home the hazelnut cheesecake for dessert, and once again I was impressed. Don’t think twice—come here for a great meal.”

“So I visited the one in Olmito, but I can't seem to find it on Google just yet. Anyways, an employee was super kind and showed us all the yogurt options and even let us sample a few. I took my diabetic mom because of the sugar free options, she was excited and loved her yogurt flavor. My daughter loved the popping boba toppings!!! I loved that I could make a Dubai chocolate frozen yogurt and it was lactose free!!! I'm definitely going back!! I was gonna take pictures but we were too excited to eat our treats.”
“Can't ask for better experience if you're looking for cocktails. I've been there a handful of times, and I've never left disappointed. I don't think it's a main staple on their menu but at one point they had a cocktail that tasted exactly like a yellow bell pepper. The way they were able to nail down the taste perfectly was incredible.”
“My mom and I came here for the first time today. And we absolutely loved everything. I had the best steak I've ever had in my life. I ordered it medium, and it was a little overdone, but still pretty freaking great.
Those parmesan fries though were just terrible.”

“My first and second visit were great. Ricky helped me understand the menu, all the sugar free options and how I could personalize any drink. They have sugarfree syrups and drizzles for the tops of drinks which is very impressive. Ricky had such an upbeat and positive attitude despite standing in the sun at my window. He even ran inside quickly to make sure they got my special order correct. All of the staff were upbeat and moved the line very quickly. When you say large, it really is a large! I will definitely be back to try many more sugar free flavors.”

“I would like to thank Nery Soto for the outstanding customer service and all the attention during my visit. I have never felt so comfortable at a restaurant—they truly made me feel at home. I also want to thank the entire staff for their kindness, professionalism, and excellent service. The food was delicious, and the atmosphere was warm and welcoming. I will definitely be coming back and highly recommend this restaurant to my family and friends. Thank you for such a wonderful experience!”
“I had such a great experience at Olive Garden! I sat at the bar and had a Dr Pepper, along with a soup that I asked the bartender to surprise me with — and it was SO good! I also ordered the Chicken Alfredo with added shrimp, and I absolutely loved it. Everything was delicious!
The service was amazing, and I really enjoyed the calm, chill vibe. It was the perfect atmosphere to relax and enjoy my meal. The bartender was friendly and did a great job with the surprise soup recommendation. I’ll definitely be coming back! ❤”
“After an amazing night, I knew I needed a mimosa, a plate of chilaquiles, and plenty of water. Living in downtown Brownsville, this place is conveniently close to home, so it was an easy choice.
The food looked beautiful, and it tasted even better. The tomatillo sauce was bright, tangy, and full of flavor. Every bite was absolutely delicious. The creamy black beans were the perfect complement and made the dish feel even more satisfying.
If you’re looking for a great breakfast or brunch spot, this is definitely one to try. Delicious food, great presentation, and an experience that will keep me coming back.”
“Highly recommend LOUIES BAR & GRILL it is definitely a great ambience. Food is delicious, fresh, at a great price. The cocktails are unique, good taste. Feels warm and welcoming. Home away from home, with its relaxing atmosphere.”
“Great entertainment event place to have a great time with your kids and family. We always have an amazing time with Chuck E Cheese.”
“We visited today and all we can say is the food was amazing. The service was 10/10. Our server provided outstanding service, and we also got some great recommendations from Chef Alex. All we can say is that our entire experience — from the food, to the service, to the dessert — was one of the best we’ve had in a long time. Thank you for giving us such a great dining experience 🙏🏻”

“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.”
“Whataburger should be completely ashamed with themselves right now. Temperatures are now at Record highs above 105 And Store 596 of a 1604 West in San Antonio hasn’t had AC since May and we’re only supplied with portable units. The store is completely unbearable, but I commend the staff that was working diligently to prepare food in this building come on Whataburger these are your employees that give many hours to you. They should at least work in bearable work conditions. Please address this situation. Get it fixed”

“We absolutely love 956 Coffee! Their coffee is always excellent, and they create unique drinks that you can’t find anywhere else in Brownsville. It’s become part of our daily routine to stop by, and we especially enjoy trying their seasonal creations. Some of our favorites are the Rice & Beans (horchata with espresso – so good!), the Hazelnut Praline Latte, and the Apple Spice Latte. Every drink feels thoughtfully crafted and delicious. The atmosphere is warm and welcoming, and the staff always make the experience even better. 956 Coffee is hands-down our go-to spot, and we highly recommend it to anyone looking for amazing coffee and creative flavors!”
“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!”
“My girlfriend @isachikispam is literally Raising Cane’s biggest fan She could eat it every single day and still get excited every time. The chicken is always crispy, the Cane’s sauce is undefeated, and somehow the toast tastes better when she’s the one stealing bites off my tray. If there’s one thing guaranteed with her, it’s that she’ll never say no to Cane’s. 10/10 reviewer certified.”
“We are from Dallas TX. When come visit Brownsville we make sure we stop @ Lucky Barrel for there drinks and food. This is an Amazing place. the staff is unbelievable welcoming....drinks food & dj, bands are out of this world. Luv the Vibes. You need to go check it out.”

The staff were friendly, melanie customer service was quick, and the overall vibe madethe visit feel fun and welcoming. 7 Brew continues to be one of our happy go‑to spots.”

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Absolutely love The Broken Sprocket! The food is always fresh, flavorful, and never disappoints. The atmosphere is one of my favorite parts—great music, fun vibes, and a place where everyone feels welcome. What really sets it apart is how family-oriented it is. It’s the kind of place where you can bring your kids, meet up with friends, or simply enjoy a relaxing meal. You can truly feel the heart the owners have put into creating such a welcoming space. If you haven’t been yet, you’re definitely missing out!”

“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.”

“Can some please find out with the family when they close during the summer because no matter what time of the year I go they seem to be closed. 3 whole yrs of disappointment. I travel far just so I can eat their delicacy and every time I go it lands when they are closed or in vacation. Someone please post so that one day I can eat.”
“Amazing pizza & the owner is a great guy! Place your order, you won’t be disappointed. Thank you, Hugo!!!!”
“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.”
“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 their grilled shrimp over seasoned rice with a side of fried okra and the food was delicious.
The okra was very thick and crispy. The shrimp had an excellent savory flavor and the rice was a nice closer for the entire dish.
Longhorns across the state have been hit or miss, but this location in Brownsville was delicious.
The food was piping hot and the service was fast. I ordered takeout so I can’t speak to the atmosphere or the waitstaff, but the curbside attendant was kind and friendly.”

“If you want a true Mexican restaurant ambiance, then this is the place for you. The decor, the happy attitude of the servers, the food, everything contributes to a fantastic dining experience. If you are wondering where to have your next dinner party, then look no further than Mi Pueblito...to be honest, the food and drinks are a little pricey, but the authentic Mexican food and decor make up for the prices. You will truly enjoy your next experience at this restaurant. The servers Hector and Roger make the restaurant as good as it can get. They are both very happy, energetic and helpful servers that will take great care of you. Again, this will be a truly authentic Mexican restaurant experience you will not regret or soon forget.”

“Great mom & pop restaurants are disappearing in Brownsville & being replaced by national chains. This is one of the few & best remaining establishments. Food is excellent, service is great. Highly recommend it. I especially like the American enchiladas. They are superb.”

“When I tell you this Old Fashioned was the best I’ve ever had, I mean it! The atmosphere was smooth and relaxing, the music was perfect, and the bartender absolutely nailed every drink. Everything about the experience was awesome. I’ll definitely be back! Downtown’s hidden lil treasure …”
“First time at Vida Cafe and it was absolutely lovely! I seriously can't recommend their banana latte enough, or anything with banana and coconut for that matter (in my humble opinion, they were amazing). If you're looking for a chill spot to hang out solo or with friends, this is definitely the place to be. 🍌🥥☕ #Cafe #Recommendation #Banana #Coconut #Friends. oh and their matcha is delicious.”
“The tacos are soooo good. The meat is so well season. It’s never over season or salty. The tortillas are never oily or soggy. The grilled onions are the best I’ve eaten anywhere they are always well seasoned. The salsas are delicious. Usual I eat the green salsa but the red salsa is superior. The lemonade is always on point tart and sweet. The sirloin burger is a super good combination. The fries have a very unique seasoning that make them taste good without needing ketchup. Definitely one of the best tacos in town.”
“Delicious as always!! Endless shrimp and lobster was very buttery!”
