This place as been around for years! The parrillada was as good as I remember it! The Pina Colada, sadly, was not. It was lacking in flavor. I remember them being so tasty. Hopefully this time it was just a fluke but the strawberry daiquiri was also lacking in flavor soooo I don't know. read more

The worst food and service ever. Usually not this critical but this place deserves 0 stars. A group of 9 seniors. Food orders were wrong, ground beef rather than chicken. Tickets were wrong and delivered to the wrong couples. 20 minutes between food orders being delivered. One couple got their order after everyone else was done eating. One couple had to wait 20 minutes for their tortillas and their dish was cold. Over all one of the worst dining experiences in my 75 years on this planet. Avoid at all costs. read more

You can never go wrong with a parillada from Bigos. I wish the people in charge weren't so difficult with splitting checks though.

One of my favorite places to eat in Brownsville. Our family has been enjoying their speedy service and well priced fajita parrilladas (fajita, pollo, mixta) for years! Their tostaditas and salsa (usually verde and pico de gallo) are always a solid start. We typically each get a cup of frijoles charros, and then it's a toss up for which of the entrees we want to split. Don't think I've ever left disappointed or still hungry! We often see margaritas or cervezas being poured to match the Mexicano decor. Can't go wrong visiting Bigo's any time we're in town visiting family. read more

What an almost mediocre place this is. We went to a birthday dinner there last week. The food was average/below average in quality and taste, and the service was absolutely abysmal. The place is very loud, and conversation was difficult, especially for the three in our party with hearing deficits (two with hearing aids). Guacamole, salsa, and chips were served as appetizers. The guacamole was literally mashed up avocados. No seasoning whatsoever. Needed salt at least, which was a tough request since our party of 22 had TWO salt shakers to share. The salsa was so hot (spicy) as to be inedible for everyone at our table but one person. The chips were gross. WAY overcooked, greasy, old, just gross. Two in our party had undergone recent dental work and wanted something easier to chew than fajitas. Too bad. No other choices except a salad... with fajita meat. The fajita plates came with a combo of beef, chicken, pork, and sausage. The beef was tough and hard to chew, and the flavor was bland. The chicken was okay, although lacking seasoning and bland like everything else. The pork was mostly gristle and not good at all. The best was the sausage, and of course, that's what they served the least of. The enormous ball of onion on top of the meat wasn't an attractive presentation, nor was it easy to handle or cut up. The tiny tortillas are "cute" but a ton of work to get enough to actually eat a meal. Not one drink was refilled without having to ask the waitstaff, not even the water (tap water, no ice). Our party was not checked on at all during our meal, and we were never asked if we needed anything. Too bad the gratuity was included in the bill for a party that size as no gratuity was warranted. Lazy, inattentive staff stood at the bar talking most of the time we were there. My husband travels with a service dog. She is extraordinarily well trained and well behaved, and she was wearing her service vest with obvious declaration of her status as a service animal. We were descended upon immediately and told the dog had to go if we couldn't produce her paperwork. IN TEXAS NO PAPERWORK, NO ID, NO LICENSE, NO REGISTRATION IS REQUIRED. (See https://gov.texas.gov/organization/disabilities/assistance_animals and https://www.thln.org/texas_service_dog_laws) We tried to tell the waiter (who might have been a manager) that, but he wouldn't hear it. He called the owner and came back to the table, again asking for her paperwork. We informed him of Texas law, and he claimed to be unaware. (It is incumbent on any business to know the laws of the state(s) in which they operate.) We were ready with the Texas law pulled up on our phones to show him, but when he could see he was up for a fight, he backed down. What he did is now legally called harassment. The only two legal questions are "whether the service animal is required because the person has a disability" and "what type of work or task the service animal is trained to perform." Neither of those questions was ever asked. Thankfully there were leftovers from another meal in the refrigerator, because were hungry when we got home. Won't waste money on this place ever again. read more

Rip-off. Pay $30 for two handfuls of fajitas & a small cup of beans (so-called "parillada for 2"). Definitely not worth it. Their fajitas used to be great but all their food now is just bleh. The service is also very poor. Not once will you ever see a member of staff smiling. Waiters don't introduce themselves & are not very attentive. If you order to-go it's always a mean looking lady at the counter who doesn't say hi, she just looks at you and says "digamé" ("tell me").. then she doesn't say thank you, she just gives you your receipt while holding conversations with other staff until you leave. This is appalling & if she's anywhere in management or ownership she is probably the reason all the staff look so unhappy. The clientele makes all the ambiance. There are usually groups & big parties celebrating something which is nice. That's the only thing good about the place. Oh & a few visits ago I walked into the men's restroom and there was a log of poop stationed right on the floor.. absolutely bizarre & disgusting. read more

Excellent service, food is always hot and good. I love the way the building is arranged with awesome lighting and ambiance. My wife and I will definitely be back many times. read more

The service here was horrible, the worst service I have ever experienced. We walked in and sat ourselves to a dirty table and waited 10 minutes for someone to come to our table until we called someone over. Bathrooms were dirty and I was able to see the grime on the toilets along with toilet paper on the floor and dirty mirrors. Our group speaks English and not much Spanish so we could not order without having someone from the restaurant translate to the server. Ordering drinks was a struggle as well and had to get up and order at the bar. Food was great Then the bill came and there were many errors which had us having to call the manager. This dinner was horrible and the worst service, that caused division within our party. 0 stars. read more

Bigos has the best fajitas in TEXAS I said it. I said it cause I meant it this place is banging. Be prepared to order in Spanish. You are going to a local place on the Mexican border ran by locals for locals, be respectful and courteous and be prepared to order in Spanish, people will appreciate it. (Use Google translate, it's a free app and website!) This place will not disappoint you if you are looking for authentic fajitas. read more

Food was horrible. I ordered fajita nachos which I expected for it to have beans but it didn't it Didn't even take pictures to share I don't recommend it. read more

We had not been to Bigo's in a few years. Now I know why. The food had no flavor. Save your time and go to The Ultimo taco or Palenque grill. You will get better fajitas there. read more

I have been eating at this Bigo's since I was a child. 20+ years later and they are still the best fajitas hands down at an extraordinary value! We love you BIGOS! read more

First time here and won't be the last. The service and the food was amazing. Flavorful and seasoned. My family and friends truly enjoyed the experience. Staff was friendly and helpful. Recommend Bigo's. read more

Our Family celebrated our mother's birthday at Bego's recommended by me we all came from Austin and Houston, and the food was great just like I told them but for some reason, my waiter was mad and made my evening very bad. My order was served after everybody had eaten, We asked to play las mananitas for my mother just like everybody else in the restaurant but I had to ask 3 times and they were delaying it on purpose when it came time to pay my waiter was hiding behind the wall and did not get my bill until everybody else had paid heirs. He was doing this on purpose and I asked to speak to the manager but I was denied the opportunity to do so. Very disappointed how one person can change the perspective of a great restaurant. read more

Nice place not horrible but wasn't impressed, it was good for a quick get together for dinner... not a huge huge selection on the menu items ,but enough for someone to find something to pick out and try. Not sure if I would come back ,but it's a good place. Nice food good staff. read more

Wow the best Mexican food I have ever had !! Literally Brownsville I will be back !!! read more

Bigo's Bar & Grill - Food is amazing !! - American Near Me - Brownsville, Texas

The fajitas were very good, moist and tender. The guacamole was fresh, overall it was very good and reasonably priced.

Best place to eat fajitas! in this area of the Valley and across in Matamoros,Mx. Carlos Valenzuela started the parrilladas in Matamoros more than 30 years ago, if you go I really recommend the following: Original fajita parrillada Parrillada Texana Parrillada de alambre Great service. read more

A favorite and go to and a must to share with out of towns friends. Absolutely delicious Tex/mex food.

We came for a small family gathering with a party of twelve. The waiter refused to sit us down. Very disappointed they had 14 empty tables and they where just rude. Did not try to accommodate us. I can understand if the restaurant was full but they had a lot of empty tables. Brownsville has a lot of good restaurants don't waste your time with this people. read more

Best street tacos ever!!! Asada tacos matamoros, fresh cut avocado, grilled onions, goat cheese, cilantro, and salsa verde. Was waiting to order at Ultimo taco and a nearby stranger expressed of a more satisfying meal at Bigo's. It was my best meal that week!!! read more

We came here and my daughter had a bag of canes and a drink they told us that we had to put it up or throw it away and later on the tortillas were cold and the lemonade tasted nasty and the water tasted like water from the faucet read more

Fajitas are microwave rejeated. No thanks! Micro - bigos Express ! Microwave is visible right behind the register window. Que lastima read more

Always enjoy Bigo's fajitas. We usually order a kilo of beef fajitas for carry out ( includes homemade corn tortillas, salsa and charro beans). The service is usually pretty good and fast. read more

This has always been one of my favorite places to get some authentic, Mexican food in Brownsville. The fajitas here are just so tender, and so juicy and flavorful. This is just something I can't quite find in Austin, and what a gem it is to have it here in Brownsville. I also love the tostadas, salsa and pico de gallo to start the meal off. The pico de gallo is consistently super fresh, as if it was just made right before being brought out to your table. They also have a full bar. Their tortillas are delicious. Service is not on point here.... as it typically takes 5-10 minutes for anyone to notice that you've been seated. However, the food is what keeps bringing me back! Best fajitas in Brownsville! read more

We were so hungry after a day at the zoo in Brownsville. This place did not disappoint. Fresh and authentic pico de gallo was a delightful appetizer. We ordered 3 different things and the beef fajita tacos were to die for. Highly recommend this place. It's melt in your mouth goodness. read more

Walked in and the waiter didn't greet us or say hello, nothing. My wife and our 2 small kids seated ourselves and the dude still didn't come over to take a drink order or give us menu's. There was a total of about 3 families i the entire restaurant all Hispanic. Finally got pissed off about not getting any service so we walked out. But the guy made sure all the other tables were taken care of... racist ass restaurant... they may as well just put a sign up stating no white folks allowed. Read the reviews of this place. Seems to be an ongoing issue with white people not getting service there.. read more

I haven't been here in a while now but I miss it so much! Their fajita is so tender.... it's just soooo good! The tortillas are amazing. They taste handmade.... and if they're not, who cares, they're awesome. We used to go here for special occasions but now I'm in Houston and it's not close to me anymore. If you haven't been here, you're missing out. If you have and you have a lot of money, can you open up a franchise in Houston? Thank you! read more

Great food! Fajitas and guacamole were amazing. Margaritas were not good. I think they just blend them in a blender. Otherwise no complaints. read more

Ordered Matamoros tacos and the angus beef fajita. Both were delicious and authentic. Tasted just like the tacos I had in Matamoros. Pico de galo and the green salsa were so good and spicy. They're not shy revealing the truth about Mexican food. The meat was so tender and perfectly seasoned and grilled. I ditched Taco Palenque big time, that's fake Mexican food and tasted like shit! No kidding. read more

Haven't been in a loong time. Ordered takeout and it was good. Fajitas had a great flavor. Beans were good. Love the tortillas. Great price to. We will order again! read more

Yummy food, nice customer service, and good music.

Bigos is always on the mark. The owner uses only quality cuts of fajita to ensure a great dining experience. Whenever friends visit from out of state they always want Bigos. Good clean family owned and operated restaurant. They cater and set up for parties, and if you just want lunch or supper they offer free delivery. Give them a try. You won't be disappointed. read more
