La Gardenia Restaurant & Bar - Brownsville (TX)

5 /5 Erica: Oh my god! the food was AMAZING the salsas were so good with the food everything was cooked to perfection amd its such a nice place to chill drink and hangout! The servers were absolutely so kind and sweet! I did have to ask for an English menu, to anyone who isnt bilingual the menu is in all Spanish

2 /5 Nonette CDO: Great ambience and nice staff. Food is okay. I’ve had better Mexican food. The tortilla soup is bland- I needed to add flavor from the salsa that came with the chips. Very pricey. We wanted water and were given Fiji water for $4 each. I rather put my $ in food than water. OVERRATED and UNDERWHELMING. If you want ambience, come here. If you want good Mexican food , go somewhere. Spend your $$$ somewhere. Expect to spend $30 pp which I don’t mind as long as it’s good food. It explains why there was only us and another couple during what I expect to be a busy Sunday lunch.

5 /5 Alma Romero: Perfect place for breakfast and brunch, food was warm and delicious. Customer service was excellent.

4 /5 Martha Corthell: They have a great bbq for two people a reasonable price. Also the desert are pretty good churros with ice cream. But it was no life music. They do offer music through a big screen. Easy access parking even for the disabled.

5 /5 Joe Luevanos: Came here with my small family for my Birthday on January 11, had a great time, one thing a lot of people don’t mention is how great the seats are. We sat thru chips and salsa which the variety of salsa was fantastic with great presentation. 2 appetizers the chicharrones with avocado which is my favorite and the queso flameado with chorizo which was delicious. I ordered the ribeye, the cut was delicious and juicy with great flavor. My wife ordered ribeye tacos that looked and tasted so delicious it made me question my choice of order. My daughter ordered a burger from the kids menu. She’s a really picky eater and she loved it. The drinks menu is fantastic, they have ten unique drinks to try from. My wife and I made a goal of trying each one of them, we fell short only by 3. I recommend the Gardenia drink, and my wife loved the Pińa Colada. La Gardenia is definitely a must go to when you want to have a great culinary experience and to have some fantastic drinks at the same time. The staff was very attentive and very kind at all times. Loved our experience at this restaurant and will definitely return soon next time I’m in town.
