Bigo's Bar & Grill

If you’re searching for an authentic Mexican restaurant in the area, look no further! I recently discovered this gem and was absolutely not disappointed. From the moment I walked in, I was impressed. The salsa was fresh, flavorful, and had just the right amount of lime kick, definitely a standout. The sweet tea was perfectly brewed, refreshing, and went perfectly with the meal. And most importantly, the food was phenomenal! Every dish was bursting with authentic flavors and expertly prepared. Highly recommend this spot if you’re craving delicious Mexican cuisine!

Bigo's Bar and Grill offers a great dining experience. The food is delicious, with a menu full of well-prepared dishes, but the fries I ordered were a little spicy and hot earning a solid 4 stars. The service is attentive and friendly, ensuring your meal is enjoyable and your needs are promptly met, but it did take a little longer for my meal, also deserving 4 stars. What truly sets Bigo's apart, though, is the atmosphere and decorations. The ambiance is vibrant and inviting, with stylish decor and a lively vibe that makes it a perfect spot for both casual dining and special occasions, easily earning 5 stars. Overall, Bigo's is a great choice for a memorable night out. Highly recommended!

11•30•24 ok, seriously Bigos, what's your deal, man.. so your piratitas, what now you serve, Chared fajitas, what whatever is left at the bottom of the pan scrapes.. geez, This plate use to be strips now come to tiny pieces don't taste like fajita but charged and over crunch that it literally hurts your teeth if you don't know what your eating I'm serious yall need to get it together, and what's this 8.99 for old guacamole IYKYK. If the dang thing is old throw it away don't serve it and pay for rotten or way bruised guacamole IYKYK and you have to put Real Light to see this but if you taste it you know all my guacamole customers that know will know it isn't fresh and if it is they are past due. Come on for 8.99, seriously.. get real here are the pictures I hadn't been here since last time I reviewed the same plate and has gotten worse through the yrs. I do NoT recommend this it is not worth what was paid, for there are pictures for proof. Get wid it, put real food and not left over and over ripe food. You be ticked off, too, if you would pay for it. Don't scave your customers off with this, and don't get what is expected. Came in and gave it a try again. It was fair. Somehow, the food needs a little more flavor. I guess they make it so much they don't taste it before they bring it to the tables. Gave the tacos Matamorros a try and the piratitas which is just abt minced fajita any smaller it be ground beef. Very shysty, yall. IYKYK about cutting it to small changes, the flavor so bad it won't taste like fajitas. Just bland meat. As far as the Matamorros tacos, the same thing is no flavor. The beans this time were a bit raw and were not ready But they still put it on your table. I didn't eat them for that reason. So idk bigos get wid it. If not, it is clearly all about the money and nit customer satisfaction. It's alright, the thing is prices are Meh! It's like every yr they cut the fajita smaller and smaller, and that being said, it loses the flavor to the taste of Fajita. Real cooks know what I'm talking about. And I'm assuming what next yr it will be like ground beef? Lol, the service is good with the staff they have. But as fsr as the food goes, it's good, but being more and more shysty as cutting smaller makes it look like a lot, and it isn't.

When I say the drive from Edinburg was 1000% worth it, I mean it! Some of the best fajitas I've ever had. And that's saying a lot. We got the Texana parrillada for two, and it easily could have fed 3. So much delicious food. We'll absolutely be back.

They were able to accommodate our party! It's always a good spot for us to celebrate our friends birthdays! All the food was great! fajita was delicious and soft the Tampiqueña plate is my favorite!

After a ride to Space X and the beach my family and friends had dinner here on Friday ,this place has some delicious fajitas also great guacamole. The restaurant was pretty full and server was on point. Remember it's a taqueria not a restaurant Some people from Houston don't understand the difference.

The worst service ever and the food was terrible was cold and no care at all the waiters were at the bottom of the stairs on their phones and no one was there to do refill or check up on the table we were here today for early Mother’s Day’s dinner and so disappointed also was my first time ever and I will never be back again all the recognitions on the wall the last one was on 2019 make so much sense I don’t recommend this restaurant to no one Emilia’s Restaurant is far better and so delicious food and the tortillas were awesome I wanted to give this restaurant a chance but no thank you for nothing. my daughter’s burger was not completely cooked and not to mention the queso flameado not even melted correctly.

The appetizers were delicious; I especially liked the cup of beans. The botana for 4 people had more than enough food. The fajitas were tender and the chicken was good. The sausage wasn't really tasty. But the burger was delicious and the steak fries were great! We had a nice lunch with the family for Father's Day.👍

What an almost mediocre place this is. We went to a birthday dinner there last week. The food was average/below average in quality and taste, and the service was absolutely abysmal. The place is very loud, and conversation was difficult, especially for the three in our party with hearing deficits (two with hearing aids). Guacamole, salsa, and chips were served as appetizers. The guacamole was literally mashed up avocados. No seasoning whatsoever. Needed salt at least, which was a tough request since our party of 22 had TWO salt shakers to share. The salsa was so hot (spicy) as to be inedible for everyone at our table but one person. The chips were gross. WAY overcooked, greasy, old, just gross. Two in our party had undergone recent dental work and wanted something easier to chew than fajitas. Too bad. No other choices except a salad... with fajita meat. The fajita plates came with a combo of beef, chicken, pork, and sausage. The beef was tough and hard to chew, and the flavor was bland. The chicken was okay, although lacking seasoning and bland like everything else. The pork was mostly gristle and not good at all. The best was the sausage, and of course, that's what they served the least of. The enormous ball of onion on top of the meat wasn't an attractive presentation, nor was it easy to handle or cut up. The tiny tortillas are "cute" but a ton of work to get enough to actually eat a meal. Not one drink was refilled without having to ask the waitstaff, not even the water (tap water, no ice). Our party was not checked on at all during our meal, and we were never asked if we needed anything. Too bad the gratuity was included in the bill for a party that size as no gratuity was warranted. Lazy, inattentive staff stood at the bar talking most of the time we were there. My husband travels with a service dog. She is extraordinarily well trained and well behaved, and she was wearing her service vest with obvious declaration of her status as a service animal. We were descended upon immediately and told the dog had to go if we couldn't produce her paperwork. IN TEXAS NO PAPERWORK, NO ID, NO LICENSE, NO REGISTRATION IS REQUIRED. (See https://gov.texas.gov/organization/disabilities/assistance_animals and https://www.thln.org/texas_service_dog_laws) We tried to tell the waiter (who might have been a manager) that, but he wouldn't hear it. He called the owner and came back to the table, again asking for her paperwork. We informed him of Texas law, and he claimed to be unaware. (It is incumbent on any business to know the laws of the state(s) in which they operate.) We were ready with the Texas law pulled up on our phones to show him, but when he could see he was up for a fight, he backed down. What he did is now legally called harassment. The only two legal questions are "whether the service animal is required because the person has a disability" and "what type of work or task the service animal is trained to perform." Neither of those questions was ever asked. Thankfully there were leftovers from another meal in the refrigerator, because were hungry when we got home. Won't waste money on this place ever again.

Amazing wait staff and awesome customer service. Pleasant environment. Would highly recommend this establishment

One of my favorite places to eat in Brownsville. Our family has been enjoying their speedy service and well priced fajita parrilladas (fajita, pollo, mixta) for years! Their tostaditas and salsa (usually verde and pico de gallo) are always a solid start. We typically each get a cup of frijoles charros, and then it's a toss up for which of the entrees we want to split. Don't think I've ever left disappointed or still hungry! We often see margaritas or cervezas being poured to match the Mexicano decor. Can't go wrong visiting Bigo's any time we're in town visiting family.

Great for large parties, but call ahead as it is popular. Management is helpful and friendly.

Excellent service, food is always hot and good. I love the way the building is arranged with awesome lighting and ambiance. My wife and I will definitely be back many times.

The best fajita's in Brownsville, TX. They have friendly service and great margaritas too. It's a lively place and very clean. I highly recommend.

The service here was horrible, the worst service I have ever experienced. We walked in and sat ourselves to a dirty table and waited 10 minutes for someone to come to our table until we called someone over. Bathrooms were dirty and I was able to see the grime on the toilets along with toilet paper on the floor and dirty mirrors. Our group speaks English and not much Spanish so we could not order without having someone from the restaurant translate to the server. Ordering drinks was a struggle as well and had to get up and order at the bar. Food was great Then the bill came and there were many errors which had us having to call the manager. This dinner was horrible and the worst service, that caused division within our party. 0 stars.

Food was horrible. I ordered fajita nachos which I expected for it to have beans but it didn't it Didn't even take pictures to share I don't recommend it.

We had not been to Bigo's in a few years. Now I know why. The food had no flavor. Save your time and go to The Ultimo taco or Palenque grill. You will get better fajitas there.

First time here and won't be the last. The service and the food was amazing. Flavorful and seasoned. My family and friends truly enjoyed the experience. Staff was friendly and helpful. Recommend Bigo's.

Bigos has the best fajitas in TEXAS I said it. I said it cause I meant it this place is banging. Be prepared to order in Spanish. You are going to a local place on the Mexican border ran by locals for locals, be respectful and courteous and be prepared to order in Spanish, people will appreciate it. (Use Google translate, it's a free app and website!) This place will not disappoint you if you are looking for authentic fajitas.

Fajitas and long happy hours! A very festive ambiance and friendly service! This is where I go to get my Fajita-Fix. Hit up the parrilladas!!!

Our Family celebrated our mother's birthday at Bego's recommended by me we all came from Austin and Houston, and the food was great just like I told them but for some reason, my waiter was mad and made my evening very bad. My order was served after everybody had eaten, We asked to play las mananitas for my mother just like everybody else in the restaurant but I had to ask 3 times and they were delaying it on purpose when it came time to pay my waiter was hiding behind the wall and did not get my bill until everybody else had paid heirs. He was doing this on purpose and I asked to speak to the manager but I was denied the opportunity to do so. Very disappointed how one person can change the perspective of a great restaurant.

I have been eating at this Bigo's since I was a child. 20+ years later and they are still the best fajitas hands down at an extraordinary value! We love you BIGOS!

Wow the best Mexican food I have ever had !! Literally Brownsville I will be back !!!

Best place to eat fajitas! in this area of the Valley and across in Matamoros,Mx. Carlos Valenzuela started the parrilladas in Matamoros more than 30 years ago, if you go I really recommend the following: Original fajita parrillada Parrillada Texana Parrillada de alambre Great service.

The fajitas were very good, moist and tender. The guacamole was fresh, overall it was very good and reasonably priced.

A favorite and go to and a must to share with out of towns friends. Absolutely delicious Tex/mex food.

We came for a small family gathering with a party of twelve. The waiter refused to sit us down. Very disappointed they had 14 empty tables and they where just rude. Did not try to accommodate us. I can understand if the restaurant was full but they had a lot of empty tables. Brownsville has a lot of good restaurants don't waste your time with this people.

Nice place not horrible but wasn't impressed, it was good for a quick get together for dinner... not a huge huge selection on the menu items ,but enough for someone to find something to pick out and try. Not sure if I would come back ,but it's a good place. Nice food good staff.

Best street tacos ever!!! Asada tacos matamoros, fresh cut avocado, grilled onions, goat cheese, cilantro, and salsa verde. Was waiting to order at Ultimo taco and a nearby stranger expressed of a more satisfying meal at Bigo's. It was my best meal that week!!!

We came here and my daughter had a bag of canes and a drink they told us that we had to put it up or throw it away and later on the tortillas were cold and the lemonade tasted nasty and the water tasted like water from the faucet

Fajitas are microwave rejeated. No thanks! Micro - bigos Express ! Microwave is visible right behind the register window. Que lastima

Always enjoy Bigo's fajitas. We usually order a kilo of beef fajitas for carry out ( includes homemade corn tortillas, salsa and charro beans). The service is usually pretty good and fast.

Walked in and the waiter didn't greet us or say hello, nothing. My wife and our 2 small kids seated ourselves and the dude still didn't come over to take a drink order or give us menu's. There was a total of about 3 families i the entire restaurant all Hispanic. Finally got pissed off about not getting any service so we walked out. But the guy made sure all the other tables were taken care of... racist ass restaurant... they may as well just put a sign up stating no white folks allowed. Read the reviews of this place. Seems to be an ongoing issue with white people not getting service there..

We were so hungry after a day at the zoo in Brownsville. This place did not disappoint. Fresh and authentic pico de gallo was a delightful appetizer. We ordered 3 different things and the beef fajita tacos were to die for. Highly recommend this place. It's melt in your mouth goodness.

This has always been one of my favorite places to get some authentic, Mexican food in Brownsville. The fajitas here are just so tender, and so juicy and flavorful. This is just something I can't quite find in Austin, and what a gem it is to have it here in Brownsville. I also love the tostadas, salsa and pico de gallo to start the meal off. The pico de gallo is consistently super fresh, as if it was just made right before being brought out to your table. They also have a full bar. Their tortillas are delicious. Service is not on point here.... as it typically takes 5-10 minutes for anyone to notice that you've been seated. However, the food is what keeps bringing me back! Best fajitas in Brownsville!

I haven't been here in a while now but I miss it so much! Their fajita is so tender.... it's just soooo good! The tortillas are amazing. They taste handmade.... and if they're not, who cares, they're awesome. We used to go here for special occasions but now I'm in Houston and it's not close to me anymore. If you haven't been here, you're missing out. If you have and you have a lot of money, can you open up a franchise in Houston? Thank you!

Haven't been in a loong time. Ordered takeout and it was good. Fajitas had a great flavor. Beans were good. Love the tortillas. Great price to. We will order again!

Great food! Fajitas and guacamole were amazing. Margaritas were not good. I think they just blend them in a blender. Otherwise no complaints.

Ordered Matamoros tacos and the angus beef fajita. Both were delicious and authentic. Tasted just like the tacos I had in Matamoros. Pico de galo and the green salsa were so good and spicy. They're not shy revealing the truth about Mexican food. The meat was so tender and perfectly seasoned and grilled. I ditched Taco Palenque big time, that's fake Mexican food and tasted like shit! No kidding.
