El Mesquite Reviews
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.
Went with my elderly parents today. Got sat and all. All through our “meal” they didn’t bother to treat us with the chips and salsa as how everyone else did. My carne guisada plate was full of huge chunks of meat, the least they could do is cut them properly to the correct size as it should be. My mother needed refill and so did my father and not once did the server come to refill. I had to ask for my sons highchair twice as well. I know it’s a busy restaurant, however...read full review
If you do not speak Spanish don't go here, I did as it nearby. Ordered 2 of their special breakfasts to go; 2 eggs, 2 pancakes & ham to go. Took 25 minutes to get 1 box with 2 pancakes, 2 eggs & 1 slice of sandwich ham. Only one waitress of maybe 8 that spoke English ands she did repeated my order correctly. Won't say I'll never go again but not in the next 50 years.

El Mesquite is a highly recommended restaurant that exceeds expectations. It's a great spot for families, serving delicious breakfast dishes like big and flavorful pancakes with ham and Migas. The restaurant is known for its excellent flour tortillas. The service is fast and friendly, and the restaurant is very clean. The food is good and tasty, especially the Pollo con Calabaza which is the most delicious food. Customers have praised the restaurant's buffet offerings, particularly the Mariscos on Fridays during Lent, as well as the expertly cooked dishes made with fresh ingredients. The staff is accommodating and treats customers well. A singer sometimes shows up and sings some mariachi songs, making it a great treat for special occasions.
