“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.”

“This is my second time visiting this restaurant while I’m in town for work. I’m originally from Houston, but if I’m ever back in the area, I’ll definitely be stopping by again!
First Visit:
For my appetizer, I ordered the Ribeye Aguachile (3/5 ⭐). It was decent, but honestly, not what I expected. The portion was pretty small for the price, so I felt it could have been better.
For my main course, I had the Shrimp Zarandeado (5/5 ⭐), and it was absolutely delicious! The flavors were amazing, and the portion was reasonable for the price. The service was a little lacking during this visit, but overall, I left satisfied with the food.
Second Visit:
This time, I decided to sit at the bar, and I’m glad I did!
I started with a Paloma (5/5 ⭐), which was excellent, refreshing, and perfectly made.
For my appetizer, I ordered the Taco de Pulpo Zarandeado (5/5 ⭐), and let me tell you, this was hands down one of the best tacos I’ve ever had! The flavors were incredible, the octopus was delicious, and that blue corn tortilla took it to another level. Every bite was packed with flavor. Definitely worth the price, and something I would highly recommend trying!
For my main course, I went with the Chinese Rice (5/5 ⭐). It was delicious, slightly on the sweeter side, but full of flavor and very filling. The portion was generous for the price, making it a great choice.
The service during my second visit was also a huge improvement. The lady working behind the bar was extremely friendly, welcoming, and attentive, which made the experience even better.
Overall Experience: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ (5/5)
This restaurant is definitely on the higher end when it comes to pricing, but in my opinion, the quality of the food and the unique flavors make it worth visiting. Not every dish was a home run, but the ones that stood out were absolutely outstanding.
If you’re in the area and looking for something a little different with bold, delicious flavors, I highly recommend giving this place a try. Personally, I would come back just for that Taco de Pulpo Zarandeado!
Great food, great atmosphere, and an overall enjoyable dining experience. Looking forward to my next visit! Sorry no photos it food looked so good I forgot to take some!”

“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.”

“Actually ordered from curbside yesterday - was on our way back from the island so the pickup was set for almost an hour later. When we made it I called in to see if we could actually get it asap (wasn't sure if the pickup was set for later since it asked for my phone's location)... I'm pretty sure the lady on the phone was the same one who came out to help - she got everything out closer to 15 minutes after we pulled up. <3 So sweet and attentive! Awesome service and great communication! You'll get our business again.”

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.”

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.”

“This is my second time visiting this restaurant while I’m in town for work. I’m originally from Houston, but if I’m ever back in the area, I’ll definitely be stopping by again!
First Visit:
For my appetizer, I ordered the Ribeye Aguachile (3/5 ⭐). It was decent, but honestly, not what I expected. The portion was pretty small for the price, so I felt it could have been better.
For my main course, I had the Shrimp Zarandeado (5/5 ⭐), and it was absolutely delicious! The flavors were amazing, and the portion was reasonable for the price. The service was a little lacking during this visit, but overall, I left satisfied with the food.
Second Visit:
This time, I decided to sit at the bar, and I’m glad I did!
I started with a Paloma (5/5 ⭐), which was excellent, refreshing, and perfectly made.
For my appetizer, I ordered the Taco de Pulpo Zarandeado (5/5 ⭐), and let me tell you, this was hands down one of the best tacos I’ve ever had! The flavors were incredible, the octopus was delicious, and that blue corn tortilla took it to another level. Every bite was packed with flavor. Definitely worth the price, and something I would highly recommend trying!
For my main course, I went with the Chinese Rice (5/5 ⭐). It was delicious, slightly on the sweeter side, but full of flavor and very filling. The portion was generous for the price, making it a great choice.
The service during my second visit was also a huge improvement. The lady working behind the bar was extremely friendly, welcoming, and attentive, which made the experience even better.
Overall Experience: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ (5/5)
This restaurant is definitely on the higher end when it comes to pricing, but in my opinion, the quality of the food and the unique flavors make it worth visiting. Not every dish was a home run, but the ones that stood out were absolutely outstanding.
If you’re in the area and looking for something a little different with bold, delicious flavors, I highly recommend giving this place a try. Personally, I would come back just for that Taco de Pulpo Zarandeado!
Great food, great atmosphere, and an overall enjoyable dining experience. Looking forward to my next visit! Sorry no photos it food looked so good I forgot to take some!”

“I had been meaning to try this boba shop for a while, and I can say I will be returning! The atmosphere was very calm as there was no one there when I went. I ordered the strawberry matcha latte with oat milk due to them sadly being out of taro. My matcha had a fine, smooth taste and was not bitter. In addition, they carry ceremonial and industrial matcha powder. Overall, it was a nice way of spending time with my boyfriend 🥰”
