I was visiting from San Antonio and my sister's friend recommended this place! The service, food, and drinks (especially the Paloma) were amazing! Do yourself a favor and stop by! Treat yo self!

La Papona

100% recommended! Beautiful place downtown Brownsville. Great authentic Mexican food! Loved the tacos de trompo al pastor with the unique salsa that compliments the flavors, We also order the papona and it was huge, full of meat and delicious. The Pistachio pie for dessert is to die for! All plates were made fresh and served hot. Margaritas are great as well! Great job chef Mary and our waitress Jackie, We'll be back soon!

Queso fundido con chicharrón en salsa verde

En nuestra visita de San Antonio a Brownsville visitamos por recomendación este bonito restaurante, limpio y con un ambiente muy ameno. El personal es muy amable, buen servicio, nuestra mesera Jackie muy amable, el queso fundido con chicharrón en salsa verde muy recomendable, tortillas a mano y la presentación de la Champawama muy original y que te permite tomar tu cerveza bien fría. Definitivamente quede invitada a regresar.

I had a great experience at this place! The atmosphere was welcoming, the service was excellent, and the food was delicious. I highly recommend it!

Torta and broccolini

Ambiance was really nice, service was excellent. Drinks are really good, I had the "levanta muertos" and the beers are freezing cold. The food was delicious. Had the broccolini, lechón torta and tacos al pastor. Everything was scrumptious. We'll definitely be back. Highly recommend.

La espera por la comida es ridícula, se tardaron casi una hora por unos tacos y guacamole , no está mal la comida pero no vale la espera

Unfortunately, tonight was another disappointing experience, this time while celebrating my brother-in-law's birthday. Our reservation was for 7:15 PM. They are very quick to text you reminding you that your table is reserved for a limited amount of time, which is ironic considering how long the service actually takes. Our server was friendly and seemed knowledgeable about both the menu and the restaurant's background. However, every single recommendation he made throughout the evening happened to be one of the most expensive options on the menu. And I mean EVERYTHING--from the cocktails to the dessert. At some point, it starts to feel less like genuine recommendations and more like an attempt to increase the bill, especially when a 20% gratuity was already included. Our server recommended that we place our orders right away because the evening rush was about to begin. He then left and didn't return for another 25 minutes to actually take our order. Our table was directly next to the kitchen, where the chef spent much of the evening loudly yelling at the staff. It was loud enough that the surrounding tables were clearly noticing, and it made for a very awkward dining experience. Straight out of a *Hell's Kitchen* episode. Two hours into our reservation, we were finally served our guacamole. Yes, it took TWO HOURS to get guacamole. I ordered the 36 oz. cowboy steak medium, which should have had a hot pink center and been cooked to approximately 135-145°F internally. Instead, the steak arrived well done, with a severely burnt crust and gray meat throughout. It was so overcooked that I could honestly still be chewing it as I write this. Keep in mind, this is a $100+ steak. I decided not to complain because, at that point, I was starving and did not want to wait another two hours for a replacement. What made it worse was that no one even came by to ask how the steak was. And skip the truffle fries. They should honestly be called "truffle strings." Good luck finding an actual potato in them. For a $200 tab for two people, this was extremely disappointing. I'm posting the receipt to show that our drinks were ordered at 7:19 PM and our bill wasn't paid until 10:30 PM. That's a **3 hour and 15 minute dinner**--and no, it was definitely not that long because we wanted it to be. By the end, I was more than ready to leave after spending what felt like half a shift at work sitting at the table. What makes this review especially frustrating is that I know this restaurant is capable of being excellent. I've had experiences here where the food and service were truly exceptional. That's why it's so disappointing to see such a huge disconnect between what this place can be and what we experienced tonight. I genuinely hope they are able to turn things around because this restaurant has the potential to be one of the best. Unfortunately, tonight was nowhere close.

Whether you're craving traditional Mexican dishes or just want a relaxing evening out, this place delivers every time. From the moment we walked in, we were treated like family. Our server (pictured below) was kind, attentive, and made the whole experience even more memorable. The service alone is worth coming back for. The food? Absolutely delicious. The seasoning is just right, portions are generous, and everything tastes homemade. Be sure to try the mollejas and chicharon de sirloin made with care. The ambiance inside is rustic but stylish, with a clean layout and comfortable seating. It's the kind of place you can bring family, friends, or even out-of-town guests to show off a real taste of Texas-Mexican hospitality. If you're looking for great food and even better service, La Troje is the place to be. Gustavo was a great waiter.

A Hidden Gem of Authentic Mexican Flavor and Elevated Hospitality…read more If you're searching for a truly unforgettable dining experience, look no further than this incredible spot. From the moment we walked in, we were welcomed with warmth and enthusiasm that set the tone for an exceptional evening. Let's talk about the food: the grilled octopus was nothing short of perfection--expertly charred on the outside, tender on the inside, and paired beautifully with fresh, vibrant microgreens. Every bite was a masterclass in balance and flavor, showcasing the kind of culinary skill that can only come from recipes passed down through generations. The authentic Mexican flavors here are deeply rooted in tradition, yet elevated with a modern touch. It's clear the chef-owner has honed their craft under Michelin-starred mentors. That level of expertise comes through in every dish--from the nuanced seasoning to the thoughtful plating. And then there's the drink: La Paloma de Mi Corazón--hands down one of the most refreshing, clean-tasting cocktails I've ever had. Bartender Benito is a true artist behind the bar, blending flavors with precision and passion. He absolutely rocked that drink! The customer service was exceptional throughout. Attentive without being overbearing, every staff member made us feel genuinely cared for. It's rare to find a restaurant where both the front and back of house operate in perfect harmony. Whether you're a local foodie or just passing through, this place is a must-visit. Authentic, elevated, and unforgettable. Can't wait to come back.
