Best meal I’ve had in years. Not exaggerating.
Started with the Quetzalcóatl cocktail (mezcal, dragon fruit cordial, lime, topped with feather gummies) – it set the tone for what was coming.
They start you off with tostadas and an array of salsas – all fantastic, my favorite being the pepitas salsa. We tried the Fresh Smoked Guacamole – it arrives under a glass jar to hold the smoke in – it was good, but I could barely taste the smoke. More of an accompaniment than a standout on its own. The Wagyu Beef Tiradito, though, was amazing – basically wagyu sashimi cooked black and blue, marinated in house-made ponzu, topped with avocado, roasted onion, and razurada piquin. My son had the Achiote Salmon – flavorful spicy, not spicy for no reason, and he loved it.
The Chilmoli Churrasco (serves 4) arrived on a large skewer and was plated tableside. Picanha, ribeye, achiote chicken, and lamb lollipops. The picanha and chicken were my favorites, but my family finished most of the chicken before I got to it and I didn’t even get a lollipop. That’s how good it was. Served with Roasted Oyster Mushrooms and Truffle Fries. My wife thought the mushrooms were octopus at first, and my parents who aren’t into mushrooms were all over them too. That house-made ponzu magic again.
The tableside salsa de tomatillo was something else entirely – they torch roasted the tomatillos right in front of us and worked them into this silky, smoky salsa with the consistency of a good baba ghanoush. Not a garnish, not a side note. Integral to the meal.
Then dessert. The Choco Peanut was studded with Ferreros, marshmallows piled around the side and torch flamed tableside, served with vanilla bean ice cream. The Strawberry Cheesecake came with dehydrated strawberry slices studded into the ice cream. I don’t even like cheesecake and it was the best I’ve ever had.
This is the kind of dining experience the RGV has been missing. Worth every penny.

Absolutely wonderful experience! We decided to explore Brownsville on a Sunday afternoon. After pulling off into TX Southmost College to try to find a place to eat , my husband saw there was a steakhouse nearby. We arrived right after they opened. We didn’t have reservations (& honestly, we were probably severely underdressed), but the hostess warmly greeted & seated us. Our server was FANTASTIC! He explained to us the various items on the menu, chef Rafael Villalpando’s vision & talent, and gave us suggestions on what to order. We enjoyed fresh tostadas & house salsas while looking over the menu. Our server explained the significance of the name “Chilmoli” and prepared a fresh salsa at our table, while explaining the ingredients and how they compliment one another. I ordered Al Pastor Half-chicken, which takes about an hour to cook (to retain flavor and moisture). Contrary to other reviews, we took no issue with that & it was 1000% worth the wait! While waiting, we enjoyed delicious guacamole with chicharrones (& a fabulous presentation!) & the hostess brought me one of their new drinks by Fer García…the Xipe Tótec . Not only was the drink amazing, the story behind it is unforgettable. Our meals came out perfect! My son ordered the Fajita Waygu Matamoros & my husband ordered the Prime Ribeye & Poblano Mac & Cheese. Everything was delicious & so filling! Our server was attentive and very knowledgeable. This culinary journey was absolutely the best dining experience I have ever encountered.

10/10 — would absolutely recommend! From start to finish, everything was amazing. Alberto, our server, was incredibly nice and attentive. He explained the menu thoroughly and made great recommendations. The drinks were so good — perfectly made and flavorful. We had the Cowboy Prime steak and it was delicious, juicy, and cooked perfectly. Desert was also amazing, never have had something so good. Such a great experience overall. We’ll definitely be back!

It was my first time here. Met up with friends I hadn’t seen in years. Food was good. Loved the salsas and guacamole with chicharrón. Steak was a little too chewy for my liking, but had good flavor. Ambiance and service made up for it.

I had a HORRIBLE EXPERIENCE at this place, and I’m writing this so other customers can be extremely careful with reservations, because clearly they do not work.
I called on Tuesday, February 3rd at 9:30 a.m. to make a reservation for Friday, February 6th at 7:00 p.m. for 7 people, to celebrate a birthday dinner. When we arrived, the reservation did not exist. After checking the confirmation message, it was clearly their mistake: they had booked it for the 7th instead of the 6th, as requested.
Instead of taking responsibility or offering a real solution, the receptionist simply told us to come back the next day, as if a birthday celebration could be rescheduled that easily. There was no accountability, no empathy, and no professional attempt to fix the situation.
After explaining how much effort goes into organizing a birthday night — makeup, outfit, guests coordinating schedules, traffic, parking — we were told we could maybe wait until 9:45 p.m., almost 3 hours after our reservation time. Then, after making us wait, they promised us a table… only to take it back minutes later, saying all other reservations were confirmed. They made us wait for absolutely nothing.
The result: scrambling to find another restaurant at the last minute, a ruined birthday celebration, and leaving downtown completely frustrated.
I can’t comment on the food, but I can comment on their terrible conflict resolution, poor customer service, and a manager who clearly did not know how to handle the situation.
Honestly, if they can’t manage reservations properly, they should remove them entirely and operate on a waitlist or first-come, first-served basis. That would prevent them from ruining important moments for their customers.
I truly hope this reaches the owners and that they take action for the sake of future guests.

This place exceeded all of our expectations and more. The food was absolutely exquisite, authentic, and beautifully presented. Every detail of the menu was thoughtfully crafted, showcasing impeccable flavor profiles that left us saying “wow” with every bite. The chef, who has traveled extensively across the U.S. and Mexico, has brought an incredible depth of talent to Brownsville.
We made the trip from Edinburg, and I only wish we lived closer because it’s easily worth the drive. The bar menu was equally impressive.Our drinks were infused with fresh, high-quality ingredients and tasted phenomenal.
Our server, Adolfo, was exceptional,his deep knowledge of the menu and its history brought the entire experience to another level. This was truly some of the best food we’ve ever had, and that’s saying something since we’ve traveled extensively both within and outside the country. Without a doubt, this restaurant has earned a spot in our top three. We can’t wait to return!

Came to the valley from the Tampa Bay area to visit some relatives in San Benito. We were looking for a good steakhouse and found Chilmoli strictly off of reviews. Our server Caitlin had it down and together. She did not miss a beat. We had the 52 ounce tomahawk split between the three of us and it was plenty. It was cooked to perfection and perfectly seasoned. The different types of sauces they bring you prior to your meal with some fried tortilla shells were also excellent. Margaritas were right on point as one would expect. We will certainly come back here when we are back in the valley. Highly recommend this place for quality steak and service.

Today was our first experience at chilimole. My waiter Caleb was great! We pretty much went with everything he recommended and it was a big hit! We tried the guacamole with Chicharron wow very tasteful, and we also tried the ceviche which was also a big hit! Today was definitely an unforgettable experience for my family and I! We will be back! We saw the commercial on TV

Great experience all around. The food was excellent, full of flavor, and cooked just right. The atmosphere was comfortable and welcoming.
Biggest shoutout goes to our waiter, Luis. He did an awesome job—attentive, professional, and on point the entire time without being overbearing. Drinks stayed full, food came out right, and everything flowed smoothly.
Solid service like that makes a big difference. We’ll definitely be back

This place has excellent food! The service was amazing. The drinks were delicious! The food is an experience, they make the house salsa next to your table, the portions are big enough to share. Great for celebrating a special occasion or just for a nice dinner.
