Brownsville is in Texas, in the South, where summers are hot and humid, winters are short, and severe storms in spring are a fact of life; businesses run air conditioning most of the year and many open early to beat the heat. US addresses list the street number and name, then the city, state abbreviation and ZIP code, and Brownsville follows the same pattern; a suite or apartment number such as Ste 200 refers to a unit inside the building.

This has been our favorite breakfast spot for years and we're blessed that it is right around the corner. The machacado is my favorite. The taco de barbacoa is huge. Definitely enough to share. My kids love the big fluffy pancakes and my wife enjoys the menudo and pozole.

For our first time here it was a very good experience. I found it on Google and read most reviews all good. But in my own opinion it is good BUT... the tortillas taste like reheated not freshly made meaning they will make the inside stuff example I ordered a flour tortilla w/chorizo, egg & potato and it was good except the tortilla it is as if it was sitting there and when you reheat it gets hard and gives you a ugly taste it kills the taste to the food. I guess I will order this in as a dish rather in a tortilla. The size is decent, but that was my only complaint. Now I really appreciate the fact that they have a buffet, but what makes it even better is that they have someone serving what you would like on your plate. I personally prefer that technique because many people are not very well-mannered and just make a mess. Or get more than what they will eat. And end up throwing away and a eaist of foods. In this case, keep the buffet bar nice and clean and more appetizing. If you want more, just go ask, and they will serve you. That is a plus. The place is very nice and cozy the staff is very friendly and my waitress was very nice. I will go back again, but this time, I will order

They give you lots of food but none of it tasted very good. The fajita meat was so tough I couldn't chew it, the enchilada was cold and overpowered by enchilada sauce, the quesadilla was just a tortilla with melted cheese, and the rice had no flavor. The tortillas they did give us on the side were good as was the salsa, salsa is spicy tho but I like it that way.

Every time I come here I'm always amazed on how delicious the food is. The fajita meat is so tender and juicy that you just want more of it. The waiters and waitresses are very polite and friendly so you feel very welcomed. I totally recommend this to anyone who wants delicious Mexican meals for a great price. It never disappoints so go and give it a try.
