    While visiting the area for work I drove past this place on the highway a couple times. The sign made me curious so I looked them up and found they were a taproom with food! Of course, I had to try them out. The service in here was great and the ambience was nice and casual. When you check in you're given a bracelet which you use to activate the taps for the beer you want. Pour as little or as much beer as you want, you pay by the ounce. They also have a variety of glasswear to pour your beer into. They have something like 30 taps. Mostly beer, but a couple ciders and two wines. The food was good. I ordered the california fries. They were not too big a portion and I was happy not having any leftovers. I definitely recommend this place! Stop in and support local!

    Hazy ipa and fruited sour.

    Our first visit here and we are impressed. The friendly staff, excellent beer selection and amazing food option. The menu is small but the dishes are top notch. We were lucky enough to get some guidance from one of the owners on how to pour a nitro beer for the fullest flavor and let me tell you it made a huge difference. Y'all hurry in here and check it out.

    If Brownsville had a culinary passport, this place would be on Page 1…read more Stopped here on a road trip and honestly wasn't expecting much but BRUHH this taqueria humbled every overpriced "artisan taco" I've ever had in my life. Let's start with the soup. A $2.99 Frijoles Special bowl that tasted like somebody's abuela has been guarding this recipe since the Aztecs. Rich broth, perfect seasoning, actual depth of flavor. Meanwhile my lemonade cost 10 cents less than the soup which tells you EVERYTHING about how real this place is. The tacos? There are 7 types of tacos so we ended up ordering one of each type LOL including the intestines one. Ridiculously good and ridiculously cheap. $1.79-3.29. You know how some restaurants give you one sad tortilla and a spoonful of meat? Not here. These tacos come correct, juicy, flavorful, generous portions, fresh tortillas, and salsa that lets you know it's alive. I could feel the love going into these 7 tacos for real. Real border-town flavor. Zero tourist traps, zero nonsense. Everything tasted fresh, fast, and made with actual pride. No shortcuts, no gimmicks, no "Instagram aesthetic." Just real food for real people at prices that make you question every taco you've ever ordered north of San Antonio. Service was friendly, food came out fast, and the whole vibe feels like a community spot where locals have been eating for years. If you want authentic Mexican food without getting scammed by trendy taco bars, this is THE place. I'd drive back to Brownsville just for another bowl of that soup.

    Decent food, Decent service. May return soon, it a taqueria in The Rio Grand Valley it's got a busy…read morevibe.
