minios cafe — Restaurant in Brownsville

After leaving Crepe Town with no food and a stained white leather purse, my sister and I opted to try one of the highest rated breakfast restaurants in Brownsville, and we're so glad we did! I'll post my sad experience at Crepe Town on their page, this review is for Minios Cafe only! My sis and I enjoy having breakfast at different restaurants around the Valley. Minios had been coming up on my maps as highly recommended every time I searched for "best breakfast Brownsville". We arrived to a small, clean, friendly restaurant tucked into a little strip mall off Price and Paredes. The young man who greeted us suggested the agua fresca de sandia which turned out to be super refreshing and not overly sweet! We had migas locas with a homemade flour tortilla and gorditas con papas y huevo + beans on the side. Everything tasted delicious, fresh, and homemade! My sister, who always shares her breakfast with me did NOT share today! She surprised herself and ate the entire entree! Our server brought out a new salsa recipe he was working on and asked for our feedback: super flavorful and savory without being overly spicy! The neatest thing about our breakfast was the complimentary slice of chocolate cake at the end! My sister's eyes and mine met after our first bite instantly remembering the Duncan Hines cake our mom would make when we were little: the one you baked in the white cardboard-like box that came with a tube of frosting in the package! I'm sorry Crepe Town stained my sister's very extensive leather purse, but I'm not sorry it led us to Minios! I already promised my husband I would treat him...

UPDATE!! Its been a WHILE since I visited Brownsville and I was craving breakfast from this place. I ended up going twice this weekend. On Saturday, I ordered their Barbacoa taco. It was perfect, not overly greasy and not crispy/crunchy like they over cooked. Today, I went back cuz I really wanted to try their Gorditas and have to say, I was truly impressed. I got their potato, egg and chorizo gorditas. They were amazing with their tomato salsa.

The owner is a young man that truly sees this cafe as his passion and it shows in his food. All of it is made fresh to order so as long as you have the time, youll be in for a great meal.

—-previous review——— i got a breakfast taco from minios and it was super tasty. The taco was way bigger than I expected. I only paid $8 for two huge tacos. The meals are always made fresh and the flavor proves it. 10/10 will come again!

Outside of the food the restaurant was very clean and the...

I have been looking to a good breakfast place to go to during my lunch break for a while now and I finally found it! I got the Gorditas with papas con huevo and an unsweet tea. The food was made to order and it was delicious! The unsweet tea was super yummy and the huevito was cooked super well. The service was great and I have no complaints on that. I love that the menu is small and purposeful, not full of random choices. I didnt really understand the restaurant theme though. I was getting a Mexican restaurant with sports and pop culture posters which was kind of confusing. I would recommend they choose a solid theme of either a homey Mexican spot or RGV man cave type atmosphere. Other than that the place is amazing and I highly recommend if you want an inexpensive and yummy Mexican...
