“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!”
“la comida, sabor, calidad y atención al cliente 10/10. Les recomiendo las enchiladas callejeras, nos atendió Reyna y nos dió una excelente atención”
“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.”

“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.”
“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.”
“Great service, waitress STEPHANIE, and manager RUBY attentive and welcoming. The food is delicious!”
“This little place was an awesome surprise. A flair of Europe in a remote Southern Texas town. The croissant was superb. I will come back for sure, highly recommended”
“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.”

“lo mejor nnos encanta llegar cada viaje a EEUU pero está ves fue mejor experiencia con ese gerente nuevo que tienen, muy atento y trabajador...a nosotros nos hizo sentir en casa y creemos en compartir eso con uds...vallan a kumori es el mejor sushi en el valle...”
“I posted a review here like 2 years ago? Had to take off a star because of how crazy my order looked lol. Can u believe these two are the same dish? The first made me feel loved and special, the 2nd made me feel like my mom was angry at me. I went in exactly an hour before closing, I didnt think that would effect my order much. The sauce was also super watery like just cream colored water. It tasted a bit off, but nothing to complain about. If the hour I went was the problem, I guess just go earlier?”
“I’ve been reading mixed reviews about Morning Glory for a couple of years now, so I waited for a relaxed, unhurried morning to finally check it out with a friend. We went midweek around 9:00 a.m., which worked in our favor! Parking was easy just a few spaces away, and there was only one other table dining when we arrived. We ordered at the counter and grabbed a window table that was very wobbly. After a little shim-adjusting, we made it work. Our food came out quickly. As for service: once you order and the food is delivered, they check in to see if you need anything else. And once you say no, you’re pretty much on your own. That was totally fine for us since the main goal was catching up and chatting. The salmon crust was fresh and delicious. Smoked salmon on toast with cream cheese is light, satisfying, and a great protein-packed option, and it came with a side of lightly dressed greens. My friend absolutely devoured her chilaquiles rojas with carnitas, so I’m going to confidently assume they were a hit. 😄 Now for the pièce de résistance, the infamous lemon ricotta pancakes with blueberry syrup. I was expecting a bright, fresh, lemony punch, but it didn’t quite land that way. The pancakes were fluffy and filling, but once the butter and syrup were added, they tasted more like standard pancakes. I’ve made lemon ricotta pancakes at home and tend to be intentional about using both lemon juice and zest to really highlight that freshness and brightness, which I didn’t quite get here. Were they bad? Absolutely not. Were they as amazing as the online hype suggests? Also no. Overall, it was a very decent experience with an above-average selection of dishes and flavors. I’m glad I finally tried it, and while not everything wowed me, I can definitely see why it’s a popular downtown brunch spot. I'll be back!”
“I had an amazing experience at Liam’s! I ordered the lobster tail and ribeye, and both were cooked to perfection. The ribeye was juicy and full of flavor, and the lobster tail was tender, buttery, and absolutely delicious. Everything was beautifully presented and tasted incredible. Our waiter, Giancarlo, provided outstanding service from start to finish. He was attentive, friendly, and made sure we had everything we needed throughout the meal. He truly made the experience even better. The manager, Carlos, also stopped by our table to check on us, which was such a nice touch. You can tell they really care about their guests and take pride in their service. I will definitely be coming back and highly recommend Liam’s to anyone looking for a great dining experience!”
“I’ve heard great things about this place, and I’m glad I finally got a chance to try it. I’ve never been to any other sushi places in the city, but this one was definitely worth it. We ordered a tuna and a fried roll, and it was absolutely delicious! I just wanted to mention the order in the place, you can find things like napkins, glasses, chairs, towels, etc. in all the place. Even chairs side to side you can feel that the place been some abandon”
“Gluten-free and sugar-free might sound like it doesn't taste good, but this place makes everything taste delicious!!! Well worth it.”

“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.”
“(Translated by Google) A good option for lunch and for lunch more than 15 stews in the morning and a good variety of coffee and at noon for lunch also a goodvery good option(Original)Una buena opción de el almuerzo y para lonche más de 15 guisos por la mañana y una buena variedad de cafe y al medio día para la comida también una bMuy buena opción”
“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 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!”
“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.”
“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.”
Drive-Thru Restaurants
“7Brew on Rocky Rd was consistently wonderful. Great ambiance, positive vibes, good music, great drinks, and amazing staff! I should have done a review when they were a solid 5 stars!
I don't know where the original staff went but the moody teenagers they have now are not it. The drinks have been a miss lately. The music is gloom and doom. I hope it's just a phase. Please give me back my wonderful 7Brew!”

“If you’re craving real flavor, these tacos de deshebrada definitely hit the spot. The tortillas are warm and fresh, the meat was perfectly seasoned, and the toppings were just right — not too heavy, not too little. You can really taste that everything’s made with care. The salsa added the perfect kick without overpowering the flavor and jalapen̈os add the kick. Whether you grab a quick bite or sit down for a meal, these tacos never disappoint.
Highly recommend if you’re looking for that authentic, juicy, mouthwatering taco experience! 🌮🔥”
“Well stopped by to eat here because we were dropping off dry cleaning near by. My wife and I had never heard of this place. We’re glad we got down to try it. This establishment didn’t disappoint. The staff were friendly and attentive. The breakfast was delicious and hot. And the coffee was strong and hot! It was busy, but the food didn’t take long to get to us. We’ll definitely be back to bring our kids to eat here!”

“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!”
“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 attended a private event here, and wow—the food was amazing. Every dish was beautifully prepared, and the flavors were unmatched. I’ll definitely be back! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”
“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!”

“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.”
