    Mota's Tacos is everything you've probably already heard about them! Its hands down the best "carne desebrada" tacos we've tried as of yet! Keep in mind, this place has no variety selections. The only thing they make is one kind of taco but the taco they do make is a masterfully deliciously greasy taco!

    I've been wanting to try this place since a uber driver said this was his favorite place for tacos in Brownsville. I can say he was not lying. These tacos were sooo good! I especially liked how juicy they are. The tacos are made with shredded beef, lettuce, tomatoes and onion. They cost 95 each and it's cash only. The place is open only m- f.

    Growing up in the RGV, I consider this the OG Mr Taco location. This is a must stop when visiting…read morethe valley. The frijoles especiales, tacos de bistek & pastor are mouthwatering. They pack on the tacos with topping every single time. Their fresh limonada and salsa verde is delish too. Still #1 taqueria in the RGV, in my opinion!

    Service was quick, waitress was polite and patient to take our order for a big family on Fathers…read moreDay night. When my drink order was taken I asked if they had tap water instead of bottled waters which they were selling. She said no but I was welcomed to bring down my water bottle from the car if I had one. Which was really appreciated. The establishment was busy, parking lot was crowded and restroom was clean. The tacos were overly greasy so I'd recommend asking for "A La Plancha" or Tacos "saludables" which is oil from the when the tortillas are warmed on the grill and saludables would be a healthy option. They didn't taste any special or have a WOW presentation but they are 100% authentic and simple. Truthfully, I ended up getting Food Poisoning from the poor handling of food; the meat genuinely didn't feel cooked throughly. The order was rushed out within 7mins max and that was concerning. You do have to order everything separately to complete your meal which isn't a problem as most of the crowd seemed to comply to how the Buisness sells their products. Would I recommend this location on a busy day? No. Would I say maybe it was a long shift or just a bad cook that night? Maybe. Would I recommend them for The Valleys Best Tacos: Absolutely Not. I also don't plan on returning again but hope they improve how they handle their food.
