We were in town for an event, and were looking for a pizzeria that served cauliflower crust pizza;…read morelittle did we know how happy we were going to be when we found this hidden gem -- La Scala! My wife and I arrived for an early dinner (around 4:30 pm) and were warmly greeted and seated immediately. The restaurant was a small-sized restaurant with approx 10-15 tables; the environment was cozy and what you'd expect in an authentic local pizzeria with character. There was ambient music playing, but not so loud that we couldn't have a private conversation. The server gave us these battery-lit menus! I was impressed as I've never seen these before. My wife ordered a small cauliflower crust Mediterranean pizza, and I ordered a medium cauliflower crust pizza with mushrooms, onions, and Italian sausage. We were both very happy with the portions as we both ate half of our pizzas and were already full. These were the best pizzas we've had in a very long time: our pizzas were loaded with toppings and we were able to observe our dieting restrictions--La Scala didn't hold back! The server was attentive but not overbearing, and the pizzas arrived 10-15 minutes right out of the oven. 10 out to 10, bravo La Scala! Sorry I don't have any pics to share as I forgot my phone--but maybe that's what allowed me to soak in all this goodness. I highly recommend La Scala without a cell phone!

The food was surprisingly good , the cooks have talent , I had pasta del fuego soup , a balsamic vinegar and oil salad to start, both very tasty , then the only minor disappointment, the shrimp fettuccine alfredo which while ok had a sauce that' was chunky , I gave the cook some pointers ( I groked it ), nice clean place good music and atmosphere, all in all a great meal

Foodie paradise. La Cancilleria has all of the elements for a perfect dining experience. The menu…read moreis diverse and creative. Food preparation and presentation is spot on. Service is attentive, professional, and friendly. Prices are reasonable for this level of food experience. We enjoyed fresh guacamole as an appetizer. For entrees we had a rib eye steak and grilled salmon with a caper sauce. All of the dishes exceeded our expectations. The menu is written in Spanish and our waiter spoke limited English. Our ability to communicate in Spanish is very limited. While it would seem that this combination of language challenges would make for a difficult situation; it really did not. This is due to our great waiter. His willingness to patiently listen to us and to explain the menu to the best of his ability actually added to the great experience we had at La Cancilleria. If you are in the Brownsville area and you enjoy top notch food experiences, head across the border to La Cancilleria. We took an Uber to the border and walked to the restaurant. It is a short walk from the International Bridge and we never felt unsafe. While in Matamoros, stop by the Contemporary Art Museum. This small art museum is well worth a visit.

So far it's my favorite place in Matamoros to eat. The…read morestaff are nice and some of them know how to speak English (that is a bonus for Americans ) The food is absolutely delicious. They had some vegetarian options (not vegan) in both the menu or buffet I'll definitely go back to eat the pistachio soup, and the spinach,strawberries and goat cheese salad topped with pecans. It's was heaven on earth for a moment lol The pasta with alfredo sauce was also very good

The ribeye cut up in the molcajete is great too . I had a little bit of everything I wouldn't agree with some of the prices only on the tomahawk I think for $125 I'd think it would taste a lot better . Overall decent experience

Hair in the food I usually enjoy my dining here, but today I…read moreordered a pizza and ended up sending it back after I bid into the second slice, hoping that all the dough was soggy. When they returned it, I found a short black hair on the first slice. I pointed it out to the waitress and showed her the hair still on my plate. She asked to replace the pizza but I did not feel comfortable eating after I found that hair. They did not comp the hairy pizza from the bill. Disgusting.
