    Came here because the coffee looks amazing and it did not disappoint!…read more The latte and cappuccinos look visually appealing but if you're looking for a real cappuccino this might not be for you. It definitely seems like they just put a bunch of foam on top but it still tasted good. The waffle is also crispy and fluffy. The salon lox bagel is also so pretty but the large onion slices were too much. Service was great and they do get really busy.

    During a quick weekend getaway to South Padre Island, I treated myself to brunch at Yummies Bistro…read moreafter seeing all the raving reviews online and it did live up to the hype. I arrived around 10:30am on a Friday, and although the restaurant was packed, was seated immediately at the bar. Our server greeted me promptly, took my drink order, and returned with my Spanish Macchiato. It was easily the highlight of the meal--absolutely five-star worthy. Not only was it Instagram-worthy, but it tasted just as good as it looked. Creamy, rich, and infused with notes of Mexican chocolate and cinnamon, it was one of the best specialty coffees I've had in a while and the artistry was incredible. For brunch, I ordered the CLEO (a lox bagel with egg) and the SPI Breakfast Platter. The CLEO had great flavors--the smoked salmon was fresh. My biggest critique was that the soft bagel, warm egg, and lox lacked a bit of textural contrast. Even so, the individual components were delicious. The SPI Breakfast Platter was hearty, well-executed, and exactly what you'd hope for from a classic breakfast. I'd love to come back the next time I'm in South Padre and try their lunch menu, the dessert case was very enticing.

    I came for an anniversary brunch on a Tuesday at 10 AM and had the entire place to ourselves. Our…read moreserver was training a new server and they both did really good! This was our first time having brunch here and they were super helpful with explaining the menu (since there is a lot of French) and recommended for us to try the Croquettes. My boyfriend loved them!! I on the other hand was not very fond of the taste but I still had one :) I had the croissant sandwich and that was the best croissant and best sandwich I have ever had 10/10. It was super filling and the croissant just melts in your mouth. I had tried their pastries before and I HAVE EVER BEEN DISAPPOINTED PLS GO TRYYYY!! (If they ever make those beignets from agave fest again I would go every week for my fix) My boyfriend had the Canard Et Gaufre which is duck and waffles and he really enjoyed the duck. The only issue with this dish was that you can't eat it without using your hands or getting dirty. Other than that this is definitely a must try if you like chicken and waffles.

    Our server Rod was amazing and our other server gave us great feedback on where to go in…read moreBrownsville! Got the Cesar salad and it was more that I expected! Never ate a fancy, legit cesar salad. you can tell they really take pride in the restaurant, everything is clean and the ambiance and music and chairs are excellent as well. Nice fancy spot if you looking to go out

    We stopped here on our way out from SPI as it was very crowded in Port Isabel and boy were we glad…read morewe did! First, you should know this is a put your name on the list if there aren't any open seats kind of place. It's a little small but I found it to be very cozy. Second, the food was absolutely delicious and you got BIG value for the cost. I had the Carne Guisada and Pazole, both of which were tasty and the servings were huge. The tortilla was bigger than my head and freshly cooked. My husband got the Huevos Divorciados and he just kept saying "this is exactly what I wanted!", my little ones got the standard breakfast and taquitos. Everyone was very happy with the meal and I am so pleased we decided to get a bit away from SPI/Port Isabel so we could discover this place! Highly recommend!

    Elva's Restaurant does have good food; however, my recent experience with service was…read moredisappointing. The owner's daughter who served us had a very unpleasant attitude. I requested regular cream packets for my coffee and was told none were available. When I went to pay my bill, I noticed a full box of the same cream packets behind the counter. When I politely questioned the inconsistency, the response was dismissive and unprofessional. As a customer, I expect honest communication and respectful service. If an item is available, it should be offered--or at the very least explained--without attitude. Good food alone doesn't make a great restaurant; customer service matters just as much.
