Chicago night club, located right by the Brownsville bus station is a real Tejano bar. Don't visit…read moreBrownsville without going here. The jukebox has SO. MUCH. SELENA. The decor is about as grimy as it gets; with fake wood paneling and spray paint (?) designs on the wall. But this is an experience as well. Go during the day for a couple of beers, turn on the jukebox, and if you don't look like you're from Brownsville, get ready to be stared at a lot, but it's worth it. I met some hilarious Brownsville natives here and they've told me long stories over beers and Norteño music. Not recommended for out-of-towners at night.

Dude with a bad attitude wearing a backwards hat walked up to me and my man and asked for our IDs…read moreand when I showed my valid paper ID and the clipped hard copy he refused it. He said my hard copy was expired but that's funny because it doesn't expire until 2031 . We were at this bar Friday night and the bouncer looked at both my IDs and said make sure to bring both and you're good. We had a good time and sang karaoke and wanted to do the same tonight. Beware if you have an ID that requires basic math skills. Anyways hope that dude takes a math class and has a better day. Three stars because I had a good time Friday.

This place can get down on some karaoke. I've never seen so many walks of life pumping eachother up…read morewhether it's rock, blues,country, hip hop, etc. As far as I can tell the party never stops here. A local was buying everyone shots and I finally tried that fancy Clase Azul. I didn't know there was a whole ritual of ringing the bell. I was waiting for the genie to pop out and grant me three wishes. But one wish was answered when a cutie got up and did "this is how we do it" and the whole place jumped in for back up. This place has so much good energy. As always be careful on the busy weekend nights with certain shady people hanging around. I did have to watch a handsy guy sitting to my right. The environment changes quite a bit from a Monday to a Saturday. Mondays seem very chill. Fridays and Saturdays are intense. Overall, I would say good times and good vibes at the reef and great talent. This is how they do it in Padre!

(This review is for the Shark Tank Bakery & Breakfast attached to the Shark Tank Lounge)…read more For starters, this place needs more business! It was Sunday and in true checkout form, every breakfast spot was packed with people grabbing one last meal before heading out. I had planned on going to El Jefe, but couldn't find a spot when I pulled into the Shark Tank Lounge parking lot next door and noticed one side that said Breakfast & Bakery. There was only one car in the parking lot. I decided to check it out because I didn't feel like dealing with a wait elsewhere. Inside there were cases of delicious breads and baked goods. Cute, clean atmosphere with plenty of open tables. There was only one table with a couple eating breakfast. The woman behind the counter was so kind and the only person working the front. I ordered two breakfast tacos: one with chorizo and egg, the other with bacon and egg. Then I saw a pre-filled bag of 5 or 6 baked goods for just $4, so I had to grab one of those, too! Yall when she brought out my breakfast "tacos," I regretted ordering two. They were MASSIVE! I could hardly finish one of them haha The tortillas were clearly just made because they melted in your mouth and the salsa was homemade deliciousness. I ate the concha on my drive back to Houston and couldn't get over how I still had more baked goods to eat for such a great price. It was that good! I tried so hard to find a way to leave a review for this place, but they have the smallest digital footprint. I found one Facebook post from Don Nato Bakery that announced this location and that's it. Feedback for the business: Create a Yelp page for the breakfast spot (separate from the lounge), make a Facebook page, get your business listed on Google, and start making this more known. It was delicious, but I imagine people don't know about it because it's a ghost. I searched breakfast places on Google, Yelp, and Apple Maps; this place isn't listed at all. 10/10 would come back to my next visit to South Padre and Port Isabel! Wish I had better photos
