What people come back for

A short list from a long menu. Breakfast is served from open to close.

Churro waffle
World famous

The Churro Waffle

Cinnamon-sugar waffle with bananas, ice cream and cajeta. Dessert for breakfast, and nobody here will judge you for it.

Breakfast tacos
Hand-rolled tortillas

Breakfast Tacos

Potato and egg, barbacoa, machacado, chorizo — folded into flour tortillas rolled by hand every morning.

Carne guisada with enchiladas

Carne Guisada & Enchiladas

Slow-stewed beef with cheese enchiladas — the lunch plate that keeps the dining room loud from eleven onward.

Menudo

Menudo

The traditional cure, made the way the Valley expects it. Served with fresh tortillas.

Spanish breakfast plate

Spanish Breakfast

Potatoes, chorizo, two eggs and cheese, with a side of the biscuits we make from scratch.

Chicken and waffles

Chicken & Waffles

Crisp, generous, and big enough to share. Ask for the million dollar bacon on the side.

On Central Boulevard since the 1980s

Four decades of
the same breakfast.

People who left Brownsville a long time ago still make this their first stop when they come home.

Mexican breakfast plates all day. Fluffy omelets, waffles and pancakes on the American side. Flour tortillas, gorditas and biscuits made fresh every morning, by hand. Carne guisada, enchiladas and sizzling beef fajitas when the clock turns to lunch.

It's loud, it's casual, kids are welcome and big tables are normal. The owner is usually somewhere in the room.

"I've been coming to the Toddle Inn since the 80s… Even though I don't reside in Brownsville anymore, it's a must-stop every time I visit."

From the dining room

★★★★★

"Mother's Day. What to order? Elvis Pancakes! Bananas, peanut butter, glazed bacon bits, whipped cream and a scoop of vanilla ice cream. This well-frequented locals favorite is beyond expectations."
