Mimi's Cafe
I'm not posting a fucking address cause it's letting you know where the fuck this shit hole is....
So, here goes. Me and Hip were on our way to Mac-town to do some shopping and other random shit. On the recommendation of The Bear, we decide on going to Mimi's cafe. The place looks pretty nice, with a somewhat patio are for dining consisting of just 3 tables. The place has a the decor of New Orleans style gumbo, creole, salsa, zydeco whatever the fuck. We walk in and stand there and wait to be seated. So for a minute we are there and the wait staff is walking by us. Another couple walks in and stands there and in the next 30 seconds the host walks up and seats them, and as she is walking away asks "Were you going to eat here too?". Well, no shit you dumb bitch. I came in more to look at the beautiful artwork you had and was hoping for info on where your supplier gets wonderful pieces of southern style art! We get seated by a dude who has a tie too small for his girth and we scan the menu. I literally saw nothing that was really tempting. But, I came across a chicken sandwich that looked delicious. I don't even remember what the fuck hip had cause the shit sucked too. Anyways, I get my Dr. Pepper and bullshit with Hip about stuff. Our food comes and we just look at it. I am kinda weary about it, and I take my first bite. I chew and stop and look at hip who hasn't even cut her food yet. She looks at me and just says "It sucks?". NOPE. IT FUCKING BLOWS. The bland as chicken has no flavor and the only thing i can even taste is something I don't know what it is but it taste like cardboard. Hip eats her's and just sighs. Now, I love food and in the history of me eating at restaurants...I HAVE NEVER RETURNED A PLATE. NEVER NEVER NEVER. I'm sitting there and try another bite trying to maybe think to myself its good. I fail at that and when the waiter returns I tell him how bad the food is. I ask for something different. I ordered something else that i dont even fucking remember. I sat there looking at my 2nd failed meal. I drank the soda to wash out the taste. I sat there looking around at the other shit people were eating and how in the fuck they were enjoying it. I also then realized Hip and I were the only people under the age of 60 there (besides the staff). I left my food, paid my bill and walked out....
All in all, I rate this place a huge fuck you. this place sucked more ass than a old man doing a rusty trumpet. I vow never to go back to this place. The Bear told me to go back and have the chicken pot pie. but if i wanted that shit I'd just go to HEB.

How Original...
Taqueria Los Patrones

Brownsville, Texas 78521

Alrighty, so Hip has a bad day at work and wants to go have a drink or two. How the fuck am I going to say no to beer. So we head to "The Bar" and as we get there she says she wants to get something to eat real quick. So, next door to the bar is this taco place. We walk in and I sit down at the bar they have for some reason and this dude gives us a menu. Now, after getting the menu, the waiter lets us know that they only go tacos al pastor and hamburgers. Why even try to be open? What I wanted wasnt even available. So, I get the tacos al pastor, and Hip ends up somehow ordering flautas. Now, HIP LOVES FLAUTAS. She end sup loving this place cause they went out of their way and made her some. Me? I wasn't so thrilled. This place had the same atmosphere and every hole in the wall. I get my tacos and they are just like every damn taco place out there. I bite into them. Same taste. Now, I know right now I sound fucking stupid, but I mean there has been times when you go eat somewhere and the same fucking item they sell everywhere is so much better. I mean, look at how fucking popular Betty's Tortas got. It was the same shit, but something about those were so fucking good. Maybe they even went as far as adding cocaine to the butter they would spread on them. Anyways, I eat my food and drink my soda. That's as much as I can say. No cool story. Nothing spectacular. Just food.
Yup. Just like any other lamenated taco place menu.
These kinda look better than most flautas, but they weren't.
I rate this place as a 5 for not being horrible but not being good. This place was so mundane, I couldn't even think of anything funny, exciting, or even bullshit about it. meh....

More like...FUCK YES GRILL
Fajitas Grill
568 Springmart Blvd Ste, 1300
Brownsville, Texas
(956)350-2200
Well, Pala and her boy were eating and sent me a text asking if I was hungry. I replied "yes" and thus, I recieved some tacos from some place she was at. They were good and she mentioned where they were from but I was busy at work and just let it be. So, some times passes and Hip wants some flautas. We make a wrong turn and end up by Fajitas Grill. Hip pulls in and we get out and she was all skeptical. The waiter, Raul, was super nice. He answered all our questions and eases Hip into eating there. Me, I didn't really give a shit cause I was hungry. Like any other mexican food place, no refills (only on tea), badass mexican sodas, and tea. I order a tea and they serve us a huge ass glass which makes me happy. Now, the whole time Raul is being badass. He brings us our salsa, which the green was the best, our tortilla chips, lemons, and the such. To my surprise, Raul brings us some bowl with guacamole. What is awesome is that it is unmixed and Hip gets a bit and mixes it without onion and I can mix all I want together. We ordered a thing called the Sencilla "para 2" and ask for white cheese to be added. Raul bring us some beans. Now, being from South Texas and eating at so many mexican restaurants, usually, they don't give a shit about the beans. Well, this place does. I was suprised they tasted good alone, and even better when I added some green salsa and a pinch of salt. Teamed up with some tostadas, this shit was good. This next sentence way sound weird or gross, but I don't give a shit and I'm going to say it. Even the bean water was delicious! ha ha ha. I added some crushed chips and ate it like that. They also brought us a small amount of rice...but it kinda sucked. Not too much flavor, Raul pops up with our food and I marvel at it. Hip gets her fork and digs in and I get all giddy when this happens...
AWWWW YYYEEEEEAAAAAHHHHHHHHH!!!!!
Now, that is some epic shit that belongs up there with blow jobs, firecrackers, and getting records in the mail! The fajtita is nicely seasoned and soft. Not too soft where it falls apart but lets you savour it as you chew through it. The chicken fajita is tender and I liked it, but Hip thought it sucked. And, the sausage was a nice little side item to have. I made a few tacos of fajita, guacamole, grilled onions, green salsa, and some rice. Try it out!
I rate this place a 7/10 and a thumbs up. I was surprised at the great service Raul offered but, like always my gripe is on refills...but nothing else. I gave it a 7 cause I haven't tried other menu items. I recommend this place if you're going to chill with some friends. Funny thing is that the tvs they had on, were playing 1000 ways to die and powerpuff girls ha ha ha. Remember to tip Raul if you get him well.

They told me during the upcoming playoff games, they will have 1.50 domestic bottle beers, half priced botanas, and half priced sencilla plates (which is what we ordered)!!!!
A nice view of the cheese covered food, the small bean bowl, and the guacamole bowl. Check out how huge the tea glass looks!

I'm back bitches!
So, I have a fuck ton of unpublished posts for this blog. I have been neglecting most of the shit in my life to deal with school and other superficial shit, but now I got the time to update this more often. I may scrap the old posts and redo the format. I am also making some stickers to advertise the blog but I need some photoshop help. More on that later. Anyways, I recently joined the 21st century and got a new cellphone. I now will be including pictures of the dishes, as well as other shit too! The next post will be up either tonight or tomorrow. stay tuned!

My Record is 13....
Taquito Express
744 BOCA CHICA BLVD
BROWNSVILLE, TX 78520
Alright, this place is one of my favorite restaurants in Brownsville. I first come across this place cause I wanted tacos but I was tired of Mr. Taco and didn't feel like eating Ultimo Taco. Hip and I go here alot. I mention this place to anyone who asks about tacos and back in pretty well. I first went to this place to get food to go. I asked for a potato (I love baked potatos) and Hip got some toastads. I asked the dude how big they were and said normal size. We get back to Hip's house and i bust open the to go plate and this fucking beast of a potato is waiting for me with melted cheese, sour cream, and cut up bistek. I dug in and the potato was cooked perfect, the bistek seasoned just right, and the sour cream was just enough. Now, if you ever been to Rudy's and had the potato...Fuck those! THESE RIGHT HERE KILLS THOSE. If I had to compare these two together...the Taquito Express taco is like getting a blow job from Megan Fox, and the rudys is like getting a gummer from your Joan Rivers. So, I return once more to try the tacos. all you can eat taco for 6 bucks. Really?! YES REALLY! Any combination you want. Bistek, Trompo, Molleja, Pollo, or fajita wait your choosing. Now, your thinking...they probably skimp out on the meat. NOPE. This tacos are packed. They start you off with eight and give you a plate of onions. Best of all...The tortillas are not fried in grease. Great if you are all health nut or something. The service there is great and they are rather fast. At times you sit and order and get your soda and tacos within the 5 minuted you are there. Usually we try to out eat each other when we go here for tacos. So far this is how it goes on records...

The place gets a thumbs up and is rated 8/10. It would be a total ten if they had refills on sodas but most taco places don't. Also, the one plate I ordered that was bad were the panchos. Stay clear of those. Also, if you get a potato, order a pirata de harina with it. Those things are just wonderful!
