"So yummy! Great service , great food. I could only eat half of what they served me! The empanadas are HUGE- pictured is only half of the chorizo. The homemade tortillas are a mix of yellow and blue corn. Perfectly cooked!"

"I absolutely LOVE coming here for brunch! The food is impeccable and everything I've tried as of date is a knockout 10/10! I love telling my friends and family about this place and coming with them. Eggs Benedict is incredible as well as their specialty drinks. Hope this place keeps growing strong, because most importantly the food is delicious, the staff and service is incredible and you will not find a more relaxing and inviting atmosphere. A truly unique and delicious experience here in Brownsville! Steak and eggs were fantastic and a little glimpse of what I can expect for dinner! The music and atmosphere are also very appreciated because it is not abrasive. Very tasteful selection of music featuring Tiny Desk. Brownsville really needed a dining experience like this and it is unforgettable!!"

"Stephanie took great care of us. She made great recommendations it was obvious she knows the menu well. The rest of the staff also stepped in to provide a great dinning experience. Food was yummy and the atmosphere was relaxed but fun. The music and giant screen with music videos and food recommendations/pictures kept giving us additional recommendations of drinks and food items that we ended up trying. I would absolutely come back and enjoy other items that were thought provoking. The birthdays kept going but the atmosphere was fun. 10/10!"
