However, the food is overpriced and the service we received was dismissive. There were a lot of flies inside, and we found a fly in our margarita after a couple of sips. When we brought this up to the server, no apologizes were made and it was brushed over. We were told they replaced it with a new one, but the glass we received after was the exact same level it had been previously, which we were told was due to restaurant policy. Important to note, the "full" glass we were given not even a full glass. We returned the drink due to not feeling confident in the change. Would not recommend this place, and would recommend driving out to some of the other further restaurants in the area!

Ordered items on the menu, were shrimp tacos and El Fogon Ribeye. For appetizers we had ordered ceviche with tequila! There was only one female waiter. Mind you this was on a Sunday Memorial Day weekend. Only 3 tables were occupied during the time that I arrived. Which was at approximately 4:00P.M. The female received our drink order and we also ordered the appetizer. She brought us our drink and forgot to ask us for our main entree. 5 minutes had passed by and she she returned to our table and asked us if she had taken our entree order. As she was taking the order. She did not speak much English. So we tell what we want. The main entree is served but we didn't receive the appetizer. Therefore we cancel the appetizer. As per my boyfriend, The ribeye steak was extremely tough and had a ton of tendons throughout the steak. For $30.00 I expected a softer more flavor infused taste. The steak came with a small portion of steak fries and a grilled veggies. I ordered the Baja tacos(shrimp) I wanted to play it safe and enjoy my meal. This was our first time since they made their changes and reopened everything because of COVID-19. My tacos(4) had 2 pieces of shrimp in each taco($13)and these were not full size shrimps. No sides. Honestly this is not worth the price for a place that is most likely under different management. I say that because they reinvented this place. Our waiter had asked my partner how he wanted the meat cook. She didn't know about the medium rare option and had difficult pronouncing the word in English. Folks if you go to a Mexican Restaurant expect most of the waiters not know how to speak English in this Town. You might get lucky if you get one that knows some English. It's like playing Russian Roulette when you go to a restaurant that has employees that knows how to speak English. Brownsville employees in most of the restaurants speak Spanish but it is disappointing that majority of the waiters in poplar establishments have untrained waiters. This is not good for business if they are trying to bring in American tourist that. Now that we have SpaceX here in Brownsville. I have been to restaurants from the North, South, East and West of Brownsville. South of Brownsville purely Spanish. Pablo Kisel Blvd. Mexican establishments are the same. The Franchsie establishment have English speaking people. I believe this is a problem if theses restaurants are trying to grow.

The table side dishes are, in my opinion, a big part of what makes it so special. The melted cheese, which we got with chorizo on this occasion, was awesome, with never ending fresh flour and corn tortillas. Also, don't forget to get the flan. They pour a flaming liquor on top, which goes out shortly after it gets to the table (perfect timing). I didn't try it on this visit, but I was told that the dish to go with is the cabrito- tender baby goat. It's a huge Fred Flinstone sized portion.
