Frijoles Restaurant — Restaurant in Brownsville

"The restaurant's ambiance, definitely gives off a café vibe, with its Mexican and French-style frames and subtle decor. Upon entering, we were greeted with a simple "Good morning, and welcome." I find that to be a sign of good manners and respect for customers. However, despite there being only one other table occupied by two women, it took a little while for a waitress to approach us with menus and take our drink order. Finally, after more than five minutes, a waitress came to take our drink order and provide menus. A further five minutes or so passed before we gave our food order, and she didn't return to offer coffee refills or check if we needed anything. She finally came back after our food was ready, which, to their credit, arrived in less than 15 minutes. After that, however, our waitress and the other servers seemed more preoccupied with a personal side conversation, and she didn't check on us until nearly ten minutes after we had finished eating. While she was nice and respectful, the customer service was not great. The food was good, with no complaints there, but the lack of attentive service definitely detracted from the experience.

Had never been to this place being I'm from Corpus Christi and visiting my mom in Los Fresnos. But my sister and I decided on some sister time so she told me about it and I agreed. Omg, it's very comfortable, quiet, nice atmosphere. I ordered a nopal and egg a la Mexicana plate, was expecting a plate with beans, fried potatoes and nopal /egg. Everything was made to perfection. Good amount of food , to my surprise, no potatoes but migas with tomatoes sauce topped with queso fresco. A shocker because had never had it this way, it was great! Flour tortillas were big only thing, only 2 one for each of us even though my sister had a plate of huevos rancheros which also looked delicious. Price was very affordable. I will definitely ask my sister to bring me back again next time I'm down here. Oh and our waitress was super friendly and efficient. Thank...

We went here because my father wanted a caldo. He always asks if it’s made fresh. The hostess said “ yes of course, we make everything fresh”. As my dad proceeds to eating his caldo, he noticed the carrot didn’t look too good. As he continues eating. He realizes that the caldo was sour and had gone bad. He tells the hostess/ server. He didn’t get a replaced plate. And they still charged him for food he didn’t eat because it literally had gone bad. We would have hoped they at least changed the plate for...
