“Danny is the owner/cook and Steve was the cashier. They were very polite and kind. Took the time to tell me about the food. The fish tacos are amazing, especially with the creamy Cajun sauce. The cucumber lemonade was also very delicious. Not too strong, but just enough flavor. I would absolutely return here. They even have a drive-thru or can bring the food out to you if you can't leave your car. Oh it was also very fast. Like less than 5 minutes.“
“The truth is, I really love the place and the food, but the best thing is the service of some of the employees, especially Pola, Ruby and another lady from Pelo güero. Believe me, I always go to meet them and talk to them. They are super cute, super attentive in everything. I recommend going, both for the food as well as the good service that the waitresses give you too, I hope the star waitresses never leave ⭐️ ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“
“One of the best burritos I've had. Chipotle grill can certainly learn something from these people. Generous helpings of food and extremely quick.Parking: Plenty of parking availableWheelchair accessibility: Is the wheelchair ramp is adjacent to the front door“
“Located inside the Sunrise Food Court. Flautas deshebrada and the refried beans are Delicious! Salsa has a mild heat but sure is tasty. My mom chose the Enchiladas suizas, which were well stuffed with a delicious salsa verde. Prices are GREAT! For 8 dollars you can get a full meal with can soda included and likely still have leftovers for later.“
“Best place to eat , the burger is the juiciest -and every bite is a savory punch and always on point every time my spouse and I go .

“We ventured over on a Sunday afternoon and the the food was tasty with large portions (I had the chipotle cream sauce shrimp and my wife the fried shrimp.) Mari provided wonderful service, the prices were very reasonable, and the atmosphere was comfortable. The owner Adriana went out of her way to provide excellent hospitality. We'll be back soon.“
“The tamales here are great and served hot ? as heck! Call ahead is recommended, and she only takes cash, then ring the doorbell and bam! Hot tamales. Be aware, ask for the prices...a dozen of pork was 11 bucks....Prices in reviews and photos are not updated. The tamales are great, like Gramma used to make. Highly recommended....better than Delia's.... shop local! Truly a hidden ?“
“Tacos al vapor de chicharrón & deshebrada were delicious, papa escondida not at all. Clarifying, personal taste. The waitress could have been COURTEOUS, not even a hello when she went to take the order. The only time that she visited our table again was when she brought us our order. My mom was kind by leaving her a tip. ABSOLUTELY ? recommend the tacos al vapor. I am just recommending some manners for SOME of the staff.“
“The taco burger itself was a true delight. The patty was expertly cooked to perfection, boasting a juicy and flavorful interior. The combination of seasonings and spices infused the burger with a tantalizing taste that left me craving for more. The bun was soft and fresh, providing an ideal vessel to hold the burger together.“
“This place exceeded all of my expectations. Food and cocktails were spectacular!Had the Empalmes, Picanha Volcán Taco, Cauliflower Steak, Wagyu Tiradito, Snapper Ceviche, Sea Bass and Beef Rib ....and the drink of choice... El Classico... The mixology that goes into these drinks is phenomenalOh and the dessert was so delicious AND an amazing presentation...Definitely a 12/10Will be back!!“
“I ate a breakfast plate. The serving size was large, and very well priced, ie: ALOT of food for a reasonable price. I was not able to finish everything. The food was very traditional Mexican breakfast and the tortillas were fresh, and hot. I would definitely go again.“

“The coffee still tastes like coffee, not watered down. They actually give you a bowl with enough creamers. You don’t have to wave a waitress down to beg for more little creamer cups. The food is always prepped and delivered as ordered, and you actually get the portion you pay for. They have a great assortment of meal selections especially at breakfast; from Mexican to American to healthy. Also great to see a local restaurant owner that shares in the history of our city. Awesome polite and prompt staff as well, even when they are super busy.Vegetarian options: The assortment is there and wait staff will walk you through substitutions if you need.Dietary restrictions: The wait staff will walk you through it. Menu options are there. But if you’re dieting really, ahh stay home.Parking: The parking is fine. It is shared with another local, but that’s not a problem as the other place opens later. Like anything good, it fills up.“
“Love this place. The food is very good. It’s not a regular steak place. This one has different cuts off meat served with un American foods. They always provide chips and salsa for appetizer. The salsa has fresh cheese and cactus. They also give fried beans too as appetizer. They have live music in the weekend. Not loud at all.“
“Fantastic service by experienced service workers keeps this place amongst the best in the state and country. We travel everywhere but the food and workers of The V make us want to come home all the time. Great Job Sophia and Juan. Keep up the great service.“
“(Translated by Google) The hot dogs and the order of steak tacos are very tasty???? without a doubt one of the richest hot dogs I've ever tried(Original)Los panchos y la orden de tacos de bistec están muy ricos???? sin dudar unos de los panchos más ricos que he probado“
“Must stop local breakfast joint with the most delicious soft hand made tortillas. Definitely tastes homemade and is authentic to this town. Their portions were generous especially for the price. I also liked that it wasn’t too busy during the week for breakfast.“
“We had the Matamoros bistec, poblano chicken & Cubano tortas. They were great. We did takeout but counter person was pleasant and reviewed the online order to make sure everything was correct. We were visiting from out of town, but if we are back would come again.“
“Never fails with how good the takeout is and how fast it’s made. They’re always busy but the food will be out within 10-15 minutes when it’s placed from the comfort of your home. My favorite thing to order are the flautas. Their burger is also good. Price is fantastic, the food looks good and tastes even better…The three raza B’s on this one.“
“The side tortilla de harina that came with the plate I ordered was really soft had a good homemade taste The salsa was delicious no complaints about my egg potato chorizo and refried beans Decaf coffee was fresh and hot The place was very nice quiet and cozy Great to have a chit chat A bit small but not crowded Our Waitress was very attentive kept asking if I needed more coffee or anything else good customer service“
“World class seafood. The owner had a seafood restaurant in Mexico for 50 years.The fresh grilled trout filet with garlic butter was layered with flavor. The free consume seafood soup served gratis as you sit down is remarkable. Limited English spoken here. But so worth it to point at the menu photos ...order...and wait to be blown away by the food. If you like fresh seafood at fair prices, then this is definitely the most lace for you. Most HIGHLY recommended!“

“Yummy mom and pop restaurant in Brownsville. Great Service and FRESH seafood. Loved the chipotle cream fish. Also got the fish relleno but not like a traditional stuffed poblano but still good. When we sat down they served us chips and salsa (EXCELLENT) and some delicious broth.“
“It's not flashy but it's good. Prices were very reasonable. The servers were nice and made our lunch even more enjoyable. I had Carne Guisada which was very tasty and I tried one of their barbacoa Gorditas, which was really good too. Their homemade flour tortillas are huge and delicious. If in the area we will definitely go back.“
“My second time eating here and they still serve excellent food. The wait staff is very polite and prompt. They serve free soup while you wait and free dessert. Love this place. The only con was the music. The singer was too loud but otherwise was ok.“
“Driving up, I thought a restaurant that is part of a hotel? First, no it isn't. Second, don't judge a book by its cover. Finally, AMAZING food! We got there at the end of breakfast, which for many restaurants means breakfast will not be up to par. That is not the case here. What a wonderful breakfast, their flour tortillas are some of the best out there. Stop by and give them a try, you will not be disappointed!“
“I had coffee and the barbacoa for breakfast.Fried potatoes , barbacoa, refried beans, onions, cilantro and corn tortillas with a salsa ( I thought the salsa was to waterier but it tasted perfect. Everything was fresh and delicious. The waiter was friendly .“
“If your looking for great top quality Mexican food. Or just looking to spend on a budget. Then this the place for you. Actually surprised they had enough room or space to fit a couple 40 people. And prices for each individual taco is about 1.50 each. And the tacos are pretty well packed for being small street tacos. You honestly get what u pay for. I recommend.“
“This place had good salsa, and the entire meal was delicious through and through. Order the eggs special. My wife got the chilaquiles. I will definitely be returning. We ordered two plates, two drinks, and a biscuit, all for like 30 bucks! Very delicious and very worth the trip. Come through. It's like terras or morning glory without the hype or high prices.“
“Our fave place for casual lunch. This is our first time at this location. We are regulars at the Harlingen location. Definitely did not disappoint- we always go for tripa tacos, Ribeye plate and cucumber lemonade. Always satisfying. Great, nice and attentive server.“
“I was shocked to find out that this place changed ownership and is no longer the 802 Cafe after so many years, but I was pleasantly surprised that the new administration provides us now with a great place to eat.Parking: Parking is a little tight, but the food and service are great ?“
“I love the food here it's so delicious but in the mornings I like to call to order my breakfast tacos an hour early to go pick up and pay and head to work. But some reason they never pick up the phone i let them know I been calling they either have the ringer off or they say it's not working when they have 2 or 3 staff working at the moment.“
“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“
“One of the best Mexicans Restaurants I've ever been to. The food is so delicious ? the place is clean. I usually come here for breakfast and I'm always satisfied. The Machado con huevo a la Mexican is soooooo good!! Love it! I've also had papas con huevo and chorizo and I request my beans to be refried they taste better. The tortillas de harina are huge and taste amazing.“
“OMG!!! I just discovered this place. You must look for it and come try the Hawaiian style tacos. They call them "TACOS DE TROMPO" it is the last picture on the review. I will suggest that they open on Sunday...I hear the request from fans. If you can't make up your mind..like me..and want to try everything...NO PROBLEMO!!!! Just order the $5.99 everyday special. They have sevral.I must add that the TACOS ROJOS are sooooo YUMMY!!!“

“I had to wait to check into my Airbnb so decided to check out this place and it was perfect! Very clean, great service and music. I ordered the small ceviche which was delicious. I also got the shrimp with spinach and cream sauce. Rich and filling. The salsa is one of the best I’ve tasted. Will definitely back. Great little local place.Everything was reasonably priced for such great quality.“
“Quick service. For my taste buds I feel that the “tacos al pastor” were missing just a little bit more salt, but for everyone else I’m pretty sure it’s right on. I did enjoy them and I will visit again to try out more of their menu. Tables were clean and cleaned as soon as customer left. The waiter was amazing and very friendly, made me feel comfortable and welcomed.Kid-friendliness: I seen kids enjoying the food as well as family time.“
“I came here for the 1st time. 1st of all, they only accept cash. I ordered a dozen chicken flautas, 8 shredded beef tacos, a burger, a drink, and fries. The burger was subpar. Fries were ok. The chicken flautas were ok as well. The tacos were the best by far. I think if I had ordered the beef flautas instead of chicken, it would've tasted better. But if ur going for the 1st time, stick to the shredded beef. The chicken has no flavor. In total I paid 26 dollars.“
“Very attentive staff with delicious food!Lots of variety in the menu with affordable price. Found myself a regular breakfast spot for sure! Plenty of coffee options too, and very tasty!Kid-friendliness: Great atmosphere for the whole family!Parking: Plenty of parking“
“A delicious dive. The place is tiny and hot with little separation from the kitchen and the seating area. The $9 mixed Mexican plate was fabulous. The $10 fried shrimp and fish combo was incredibly fresh. Very limited menu, all combo plates, seven to choose from when I went.“
“It was delicious as always. My family and I always get from here since we're a big family. (6) We usually get the botana for 8 because we eat alot haha. ? We've only gotten it twice but it's been amazing service both times. Totally reccomend. Especially the aguas de melon.“
“(Translated by Google) The waiter is too friendly. The chipotle shrimp are delicious, the shrimp cocktail is also highly recommended and the precious ones are super accessible and reasonable. I put 4 ⭐️, just because I wish there were half portions for certain dishes.(Original)El mesero es demasiado amable. Los camarones al chipotles están ricos, el cóctel de camarones también es muy recomendable y los preciosos súper accesibles y razonables. Pongo 4 ⭐️, solo porque desearía que hubiera medias porciones para ciertos platillos.“
“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!!!“
“This restaurant deserves more credit the tacos are the best tacos I’ve ever had & I’m picky. Also the carmelized onions ??, the salsa ? and charro beans ? are to die for! Oh and this delicious food comes out in minutes, it might as well be a fast food!! I’m not sure why this place doesn’t at LEAST have 4.5+ stars, its a hole in the wall for sure but man you can’t beat the taste and the low price! To be fair I only ever get the al pastor & mole tacos but nuff said!“
“✨Super cute decor! ?? Birria tacos are ? delicious !!!My personal favorite is their Birria melt ?. All their drinks have a cute name either after Bad Bunny or Karol G and look super tasty but my personal favorite is the cucumber lemonade. The staff is always super friendly and polite, especially Alondra! She goes out of her way to make you feel welcomed and happy.“
