The entomatadas are so good and the tampiquena plate is a sampler of a little bit of everything. The flour tortillas are big!

Yesterday we had lunch at a new (to us) Mexican restaurant on Paredes Line Rd. It's a small place and when we were there, there weren't that many people but as lunch time came around, diners started pouring in. As soon as we ordered, we got our drinks with chips, salsa, and a small cup of fideo. I ordered the cheese entomatadas (3) plate that comes with rice and lettuce/tomato while the hubs ordered the tampiquena plate that comes with a little bit of everything, sort of like a sampler. The food was pretty good, clearly fresh and homemade and the service was good as well. The prices are reasonable and the portions are generous enough so I had a little extra to take home. We will definitely be back since this is closer to us and we don't have to travel too far.

Stopped by for breakfast tacos after seeing the great reviews on this place. It is so cute inside. The breakfast plates looked amazing. I picked up breakfast tacos for family back at our rental house. Then I saw the size of the tacos, I couldn't have been more excited. They are huge. The flavor of the tortillas, eggs, chorizo & bacon was amazing. Loved the yellow cheese they used too. Salsa was great and homemade, of course. The employees were so nice while I waited for the tacos offering me coffee. Love love love this place. Best breakfast tacos ever!!

A small family owned cafe with GREAT food. Full of flavor and authentic as Mexican food can be ...nothing out of an institutional food service provider here.The fajita tacos with the charro bean soup were absolutely terrific.And the backstory of the owner waitressing for 23 years and then opening her own place is wonderful.Eat here NOW before the word gets out that it's as good as you can get anywhere in South Texas. And that's the honest truth.Breakfast and lunch only. But really a hidden gem.Most highly recommended!

Absolutely perfect. My gf and I stopped coming back from visiting family in Mexico and decided to stop here for breakfast. The waitress, Teresita, quickly came and helped us pick our order. She was very hospitable and helped us figure out our orders with grace. We ordered a Menudo, some barbacoa tacos and a GIANT breakfast taco. Every plate was delicious. The Menudo was flavorful, had plenty of meat and was fully complimented with all the garnish. The barbacoa was tasty, well seasoned and perfectly served in four well-made corn tortillas. The humongous taco had well cooked eggs scrambled with bacon and potatoes; the taco was served with a side of savory perfectly textured refried beans. Highly recommend. One of the best Tex-mex restaurants I have ever had the privilege to experience.

Lettys Cafe is a true gem in the heart of Brownsville, TX. We stumbled in and were greeted like family. It's as real deal authentic Mexican as it comes. Highly recommended

A quaint establishment that is a little hard to find because 1) the phone maps take you to the neighboring property and 2) the building and signage are small. The food is top notch. Tortillas are fantastic just like mom's. The entrees are flavorful and made with that extra touch. Wait staff are excellent , friendly and they enjoy their job. Wow! I'm going back when I can.

What a great breakfast. Migas and Barbacoa were awesome. Great home made tortillas and the refried beans had great flavor. This is a place to come back to again. The waitress was really helpful and great.

Great food. I usually order the Migas ala mexicana and they are delicious. Tortillas are homemade.
