50 Best Mexican Restaurants in Brownsville

“Wonderful service and the tacos are…amazing!! Daniel is super nice and hospitable. Great place to have great food!!“

“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.“

“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.“

“Small humble looking restaurant but once inside you can tell this is authentic. Service was great, I was greeted immediately and a waitress brought coffee and a menu to me.I ordered the breakfast special "Chilaquilles with chicken, beans, and fried potatoes."It was only $5.99 !!!! Whaaat??? Yes only $5.99I added an over easy egg for a dollar more because gotta have that egg yolk smothered on top of the Chilaquilles along with the queso fresco and crema.The spicy red salsa was awesome and had just enough kick to go with the delicious meal.For the quality, price and service I give this place 5 stars!!!“

“Muy rica la comida abundante y mejor servicio 💕🙏“

“I have a hard time finding really good Mexican food, but not so at Los Gallo's. The enchiladas are terrific. Can't wait for another plate.“

“Given the amount of cars in the parking lot on a Sunday after church, we genuinely thought it was going to be a bit more crowded than it actually was. My family of 6 was immediately seated and presented menus. Drinks and plates were brought out in less than 15 minutes. I wonder if it was timing or simply that they have an efficient staff, either way D' Tony's did not disappoint. The food was on par with other local Mexican restaurants. Nothing stood out as being better but it was good overall.“

“Stuff is friendly and the buffalo wings were delicious 🤤 good prices too!“

“The tortillas was very hot just coming from The factory hehehhe... The price is around the same of the store 1.50 but the quality is great! And softness of the tortillas is awesome ! Now cleaness from the inside is alright but outside needs a bit more“

“What a cute little restaurant. A bit too hot in the atmosphere department, eventhough there were fans, I could only infer that a/c was not working. But their food was delicious, so putting up with the heat was tolerable. I had not had a great bistek ranchero since I moved out of mom's house 26 years ago, the rice and beans complimented perfect and the lemonade was perfect.“

“los mejores tacos de brownsville súper ricos!!!“

“Walking at the flea market and saw this place. The atmosphere is inviting and the service is excellent. I can't eat a lot of their food due to gastro issues but had a craving. The food hit the spot and is delicious. I highly recommend Antojito's Freddy's. The food is great and priced right.“

“Where is the 10 star rating button when you need it!!? The food is unbelievable!!! Very authentic. The staff is customer driven. This is our go to spot when in town. We always get greeted with smiles :-) and served promptly. You can tell the owner(s) are very passionate about their business and clientele. THE TAMALES ARE ONE OF A KIND! So good we have them shipped to Dallas regularly. The tortillas and food take me back to my grandma's kitchen in Mexico as a kid. I highly recommend Anita's! As far as my family, we are customers for life!“

“This small restaurant has great street tacos. It is small, and very busy so call in your order to enjoy at home or eat in your vehicle. The chips served are very hard, and not the tex- mex chips regularly served for chips and salsa. (see photo)“
