Brownsville is legendary for its tiny tacos. You may have heard about them, and now is that chance to see what all the fuss is about!
Although you will find many of these small restaurants (sometimes just stands) everywhere in town, I chose Mr. Taco to represent us since, well, it's a part of my old stomping grounds.
