Growing up here in Brownsville I thought there wasn't too much too do but now that I'm a bit older I see how much our little city has too offer it's great too see other people enjoy it here
Brownsville born and raised here, if y’all loved it when y’all were down here y’all should come down during “charro days”! It’s a festive weekend the 3rd weekend in February. There’s fun and awesome activities going on all weekend. From music to food it’s an overall awesome experience where we celebrate our culture with our sister city of matamoros.
Awesome! A few people have commented about it but somehow I missed that it was coming up so soon. Just looked it up, looks so nice. Would love to experience it. Thanks for your comment!
If you ever get a chance to, on Bay view there are orchards where you can pick your own oranges and grapefruits. Also, in arroyo city, there is a small little restaurant called chillie willies. They have amazing burgers. There is a county park out there that has a wonderful view of the arroyo. This waterway connects to the Laguna madre bay. You should go there.
In truth, I like that Brownsville/Matamoros is still an "unknown" spot; to me, your vid feels like that special occasion when that hidden heirloom gem gets worn on that special date. Why? Well, even if overcast, did you see the horizons in the background on Boca Chica beach? This type of peace, beauty, nature, food and culture can be affordable to the mere mortals among us. ...and I love that it's just, "everyday;" I mean, the matter-of-factness and "hidden in plain sight"-ness of two borders by the sea and everything rich that this comes with is, ...well..., special.
Thank you so much!! We completely agree! It’s such a rare and special place in the world where you can experience things that you can’t anywhere else. Thanks for your awesome comment 😊
Just ran across this video and wanted to let you know that I enjoyed it. I’ve been living in Brownsville for over 30 years and just as you said, it’s almost like being in Mexico, at least it is for those that have never been here. I suggest you visit during the Charro Days Fiesta, it’s a week long celebration of the friendship between the “sister cities” of Matamoros, Tamps. Mexico and Brownsville, TX USA, held every February since 1938. There is a 3 day parade and lots of fun activities held around town throughout the week. A lot of people wear charro attire to the parade, school and work during that week. To my knowledge there is nothing like it anywhere else in the US. Safe travels!
Thank you! That feedback means a lot, we're so glad you enjoyed it. We really enjoyed our stay and are excited about coming back and exploring more. That is really special that Charro Days Fiesta dates back to 1938-wow. Very impressive and we'd love to experience that for sure. Hate that we are missing this upcoming one, but it is now on our list. Thanks for sharing! :)
Man, growing up all I heard was "nothing to do in Brownsville" Yall have explored amazing areas and probably more than what my friends and I have done. I might be moving back soon. It's been 7 years but seeing yalls video makes me a little excited to be back home
Awesome! Loved it there, you've got a beautiful hometown. And we can both relate to that because we both grew up not liking our home city in NC but recently visited back and were finding things we didn't even know were there. :)
Hey!!! I'm from Brownsville/Matamoros I just had some thoughts -The sanctuary and other areas for birdwatching are great but the weather plays kinda a big role. Also for going to the park you went to (Olímpico). Not a lot of people are going to be at those places during the cloudy weather. -Matamoros has a lot of restaurant/bars where they sell wings and other dishes and drinks. I'd recommend to try one of those. There are soso many. You might have to go in the afternoon though, it depends. -next time you visit Matamoros go to the movie theater and buy popcorn. You don't even need to watch a movie just get popcorn lol it's great there's many flavors. -the salsas you tried are for different purposes. The first one is for chips, chicharrones, popcorn etc. the other salsas are for food- mainly tacos, meats, other Mexican dishes
Thanks so much for the inside scoop and information! This is great to know. We are definitely going to try more of the food in Matamoros. Lauren is obsessed with popcorn so she’s wanting to go back now. 😊 We actually did see a ton of birds at Sabal Palm Sanctuary, just not at the Resaca de la Palma State Park. We also saw a ton around town and at the beach. Thanks for the tips and advice… we love comments like this! 😃
@@laurenandseth I agree on the weather playing a big role on people actually going out and about lol we’re not used to cold weather so what people up north consider chilly as perfect weather we are literally shivering in our pants lol
Born and raised in Brownsville, it’s so beautiful seeing it grow and receive positive exposure. Thank you for visiting our hometown. It’s such a gem! ❤️
Hey guys!! Really nice to see that you all visited our hometown brownsville, tx. We are uploading a tour of the zoo in 2 days. Hope you all don’t miss it! You all did an amazing video, and love everything you added to it. So nice meeting you all :) new friends
i was born in illinois but i live in brownsville. I would never even stay at a hotel downtown thats crazy! also we have first friday downtown on every first friday of the month, saturday farmers market, wild preserve, and other hidden gems. First time i see a video about brownsville. Thank you!
Nice, I, Seth used to live in Iowa for awhile and Lauren spent a lot of summers in Missouri growing up with family. Good old midwest life. :D We went to Illinois quite a bit. Haha, so downtown doesn't have a good reputation or what? Thanks for the extra tips and recommendations. Actually we are wanting to come back soon and cover a lot more of the city and surrounding area. Cheers! :)
Thank you so much for this video. I used to live in Matamoros and in Brownsville, but it has been over 15 years since I walked across that bridge, and I tried to research on the internet but couldn't find any precise information on entering Matamoros until I seen your video. It looks like you still could walk right into Matamoros without having to stop and get a permit, as I can see by your video. And the cost to walk across the bridge is still 1 dollar, the same that it was 15 years ago. Amazing. I was beat up right under that bridge that you walked across about 20 or 25 years ago, as I used to hang out with a gang of border bandits that were always there( I wasn't a bandit I just knew them) , but some punk from another gang attacked us, but in the end, we won!! 17 pesos for a taco is pretty good. I'm assuming that your video was filmed in January 2022. Good Luck.
I swear to you that everything you are reading right now was written and translated with google translator 🤣🤣. The truth is that I am just learning to speak English because I am from Matamoros, Mexico and the truth is that in the future I would like to take a trip to Texas, but in other words I am very happy that you visited our city🥰🥰
Yo I'm from Brownsville, born and raised, and currently a student at UTRGV. Next time you come to Brownsville, be sure to come during Charro days (Roughly from Feb 19 - 27) for the festivals and events going on! There is a big parade with lots of music and food! There are a lot of interesting and cool places to see and visit around downtown brownsville, but you have to just walk and explore. Don't be afraid to explore the night life downtown too! There are a handful of bars and clubs to check out! I would recommend caution at night however and always be sure to pay attention to your surroundings. Cool to see a recommended video about Brownsville on TH-cam!
We’ve seen about Charro Days in a few comments now and we are so wanting to come back for that. It sounds incredible. We’ll definitely check out more of the nightlife for sure. Thanks for the tips and suggestions, we’re excited for a return trip! 😊
It's so incredible there. Not going to lie, we were not expecting so much. We could have made many more videos in the area. We are planning a return trip soon, just a nice area. And the food is to die for, can't wait to try more tacos! :D Thank you!
OMG!!! You got it right on the money. To me, there is no better place to live. Some grossly misinformed person once posted that Brownsville was basically akin to a third world country devoid of economic or social wealth and social services. Thankfully, you've captured the true ambience of this area. Thank You.
Appreciate that! We really loved it there. Hoping to come back in the near future and explore more. It has a lot going on and so much natural beauty and culture. Cheers, friend!
Awesome video! I'm from Matamoros and I actually live there, thanks for sharing places from Brownsville, l had never visited there. From Matamoros you need to explore more, there's a lot of good restaurants of Mexican food, if you want to taste food from CDMX (the capital city) you should go to the restaurant Quesadilla Mx I really love that restaurant. If you want know more about restaurants, places to visit in Matamoros don't hesitate to ask me. Have a great day!
No sé si esto lo hicieron en un día, quizá 3 o una semana... Pero usaron chamarras, suéter y playera, porque sí, así es el clima en el valle, tenemos todos los tipos de clima en un sólo día 😆
Greetings from Matamoros!!! great video, you should come over during spring break or even better, in the summer, there;s a lot of things and places to see here.
FYI , Brownsville has the battle field where the the last battle of the Civil war was fought! You should have gone to the Stillman house museum that was downtown Brownsville! It has a lot of pre Civil War items and a lot of historical items! But actually there are more museums you could have gone to as well! I’m glad you enjoyed your visit! Many blessings!
Regarding the Gulf Course, it was used by all even high school what hurt was it was so close to the border that there was always BP chases and sometimes we were caught having to lock ourselves in the rr our not go to practice, I am glad you guys saw the beauty in our hometown but there is soo much more to Brownsville then just being downtown
Nice video!!! Next time, you should go listening to the Matamoros Music Band, they perform twice a week on Thursday and Sunday at 6:00pm in the Main Plaza in Matamoros Downtown 😊
Glad you liked it! That's really cool to hear :) Both of us think it would be an awesome city to live in. We can't wait to visit again because there is so much that we missed!
Yeah, but there’s so many birds down here. Like at Sabal Palm Sanctuary, thousands. Kind of funny how the most famous place in town for bird watching was where we barely saw any. 😅 Thanks y’all!
Super happy i came across your video ❤ i subscribed !!😊 loved your vlog!!especially because you got to visit my town and share with us your experience.
Nice to see you guys visiting the RGV I am a border kid myself born Matamoros/Brownsville, I have been away for the last 32 years hope to visit one day again. Good luck on your travels
I’ve been to Brownsville my whole life to visit family and you shown me places I haven’t even been! Very awesome to see this , especially Matamoros so many Things that y’all need to see but with a tour person because it could get dangerous. I’m from a smaller town vallehermoso Tamaulipas , so much culture and so many delicious food places that y’all might want to see and is only 40 min away from Matamoros !
Nice! Yes, that is a great idea. We'd love to come back. Thanks for the recommendation! We haven't heard of Vallehermoso until now. Just looked it up on Google, looks very nice. We'd love to visit there for sure. :)
Thank you for capturing all you did in this very well-paced video. The area is rich in history and culture and if you could have extended your stay you would have had a better experience with the opportunity to see inside of museums on either side of the border. Glad you enjoyed your visit and had many nice things to show.
The history in culture there is absolutely incredible! We definitely want to come back and showcase more of what the area has to offer. We’re taking note of all the recommendations we’re getting now. Thank you! 😊
Loved this video, one of my favorites and now I really want to visit Brownsville. The rockets are so cool and the beach looks amazing. And the food over the border has me really missing Mexico!
I loved the video! I live in Matamoros and work in Brownsville. You would have definitely had a better experience If it was a Sunny Saturday afternoon over a cold Sunday noon. I’m glad y’all got a glimpse of what our daily lives of crossing to US while living in Mexico feels like.
Thanks! That's really cool. Hopefully the next time we return it will be warm and sunny! I don't blame people for wanting to stay inside, the weather was not cooperating with us 😂
Great video! I(kevin)miss visiting Matamoros and Brownsville . My family and I used to travel there very often we used to cross from mexico to Texas to go buy fajitas and then cook them in mexico! Lol
Hi 👋 Guys! I live here in Brownsville and I love it. I just realized you guys show places I have never visited but, on my to do list. Thanks for visiting and sharing our Beautiful Historic Brownsville.
Thank you, amigo! Glad you enjoyed the video, we loved it there! I see you’re a creator as well, maybe we could link up next time we’re in town! Saludos!
I miss my hometown.. I've always wanted to go back to Brownsville...was born and raised there.. I live in Florida now but Brownsville is always on my mind..will never forget my beautiful city
Nice video guys!! You are awesome. Matamoros/Brownsville somos uno practicamente, esperemos les haya gustado todo el valle. I'm waiting for more videos! thankyou
Thanks amigo! We're glad you liked the video. 😊 We could tell there was an awesome connection between Brownsville and Matamoros. Both of us had a great time and can't wait to come back and visit again! Saludos 🥂
@@laurenandseth ❤️ Would be amazing if you doing the same along the frontier! Es decir, San Diego-Tijuana, El Paso-Cd.Juarez, Laredo-Nuevo Laredo, and other (USA-México). ¡Now i'm already subscribed!
Me da gusto que pudieran cruzar a matamoros, que lastima que fuera en domingo cuando hay muchas cosas cerradas. La comida es muy deliciosa en otros lugares y hay muchas cafeterias. Ojala y puedan volver. Amo mexico
Buetiful video but next time visit in the summer it is so buetiful and amazing you’ll feel like your in the phillipines island or Thailand when the sun shines at all these places it is super pretty sorry about the sky during the winter it’s very cloudy but in the summer everything is so buetiful especially spi 😊
It's so weird getting a recommend vid on my home cities both sides of the border are amazing I love the mix of American/Mexican that's on both sides. Used to work on SPI at the whataburger there and crossing the bridge is always an awesome drive. I may be on the other side of the world right now but man would I like to be back home in southmost
We loved this video, besties. You two are so adventurous and it inspires us! Thanks for showing more plant based foods, love to see it! Safe travels you two, stay awesome! 🖤-Ben and Ang
My hometown ❤️, not many people document what y’all did about B&M (abbreviation). I actually live in Matamoros but work in Brownsville and I commute everyday. It’s a pain to sometimes not have quarters for that particular border crossing. If y’all would’ve crossed back on the same crossing you came through to the states it’s only a quarter or $5 pesos. (They do accept pesos). And don’t have to deal with that madness from that privately owned border crossing. Sundays after about 1 PM is when everyone pops out and business as usual. Great video guys!
That’s so cool! Thanks for the tip about the border crossing. I thought it was crazy that the bridge we crossed back on didn’t accept pesos on the Mexico side 🤯
I’ve lived in brownsville my whole life I love it here you DEFINITELY need to try out 3 Maria’s and Taqueria Siberia and get their huge tostada it’s amazing!😍😍
I’m excited watching this vlog bc I’m from matamoros! And see that my city it’s in a blog it’s kinda excited!!! It’s good to see that you guys have a lots of fun!!!
WOW never knew or imagined that about Brownsville. Video suggestion: time to update the city you'd most be inclined to put roots down. I'm torn! Oaxaca over Merida b/c I feel like Oaxaca is more culturally rich and diverse, as well as landscape. But GDL??? CDMX? SLP? Puebla? Give us an update on the city you could practically see yourselves in. :)
Great idea! We’ll do just that. 😊 Want to visit GDL first though and spend more time in Guanajuato and Queretaro before making it because I think those will be very strong contenders. As of right now, for me, Seth, if I was going to put down roots in a Mexican city for the indefinite future… it would be hands down Puebla. I absolutely love it there. Lauren says she’s torn between San Cristobal and Puebla. We’re about to revisit SLP and I think it’s going to be up there as well, just based on the time we spent in the city center. Looks like there’s quite a bit to do in the surrounding area as well. We’re both still torn on our favorite between Oaxaca and Merida too. 😅 I would still choose Oaxaca because of the mountains but it’s extremely close. We’re definitely going to do a video on this soon and break it down. Thanks for the great suggestion. Cheers!
The story of that golf course trapped behind the fence is kinda sad. That SpaceX Starbase is pretty cool. I love that you can drive on the beach in the area. I have always heard South Padre Island is fun. Thanks for showing us this area!
I know! It’s a really unfortunate situation for the golf course 😔 SpaceX was personally one of my favorite things in the area. It was an all around unique experience just seeing ocean waves crash and then turning around and there’s a space rocket 😂
Hey bro! Nice to meet another creator on here. Just subscribed to your channel. We really enjoyed our visit to your area. I know how it goes with work getting in the way of making videos! 😅😃 cheers!
@@laurenandseth Thanks brother, it's nice to meet another content creator in my area too, one day I'd like to be there in brownsville too, cheers 🤠😊 I am also subscribed to your channel, you have good videos c:
Not sure how I came across your video, but I enjoyed it so much! I don’t live very far from Brownsville, maybe 30 minutes away and I only go to Brownsville to go to the mall or Academy. This video shows me there’s much more to be seen. And I’ve been to Matamoros quite a bit as my hubby is from there, but as tourists I HIGHLY recommend visiting Nuevo Progreso not Matamoros. Nuevo progreso is THE tourists spot, all tourists go there and it’s AMAZING! Lots of shops, food, music you name it. Anyway love the video and your outlook on the rio Grande Valley.
Thank you so much for showcasing beautiful Brownsville/SPI/Boca Chica/Matamoros area....people usually hear the bad things and don't realize what a wonderful place it is to live in or visit....great work!
Hello guys I just saw you’re video and it’s pretty awesome I live in Brownsville but I’m originally from Matamoros, if you like I can take you around of Matamoros city and taste the real food of Mexico. Im here to help you guys!!! Ty for this amazing video.

Growing up here in Brownsville I thought there wasn't too much too do but now that I'm a bit older I see how much our little city has too offer it's great too see other people enjoy it here
We are the same way about our hometowns I think. It’s interesting 😊 We really loved our visit to your hometown!
Im older and its only got worse it has nothing to offer idk what u talking about. I left years ago i hated it

Live here in Brownsville and was excited to see this video....Our town has so much history!!! I'm so glad others get to see our area with your videos💖
It’s amazing there, we loved it! 😊
Bro same
As well as me Great!
I born in Matamoros, not the town used to be, but I love it. Someday, I will move close to Matamoros..
Awesome! I’m looking forward to going back and seeing more of it

Me and my sister are down here now on vacation. Brownsville is a really neat place.. Your video was awesome.
Thank you! Enjoy Brownsville, I’m ready for a return trip now! 😊
i’m so happy both of my hometowns are getting recognition & the horrible stigma matamoros/mexico has is slowly gowing away ❤️

That is very cool! It is so beautiful, I bet he has some great stories and wildlife encounters.
@@laurenandseth yes. If I'm not mistaken, the last battle of the civil war was near Brownsville. It's a national park near there.

It's a magical place! 😊
Awesome 👍 glad you all liked Brownsville and Matamoros come back
Thank you! Definitely want to come back! 😊

From Matamoros you need to explore more, there's a lot of good restaurants of Mexican food, if you want to taste food from CDMX (the capital city) you should go to the restaurant Quesadilla Mx I really love that restaurant.
If you want know more about restaurants, places to visit in Matamoros don't hesitate to ask me.
Have a great day!
Thank you! Awesome tips. We are looking forward to coming back and exploring more of Matamoros for sure. Cheers! :)
No sé si esto lo hicieron en un día, quizá 3 o una semana... Pero usaron chamarras, suéter y playera, porque sí, así es el clima en el valle, tenemos todos los tipos de clima en un sólo día 😆
jajaja 😂 Fue una semana pero el clima está loco 🌧☀️
Me alegra que les haya gustado la comida mexicana😊, yo soy de Matamoros 🇮🇹
¡Nos encanta la comida mexicana! Es nuestro favorito. Disfrutamos nuestra visita a Matamoros :)
Amiga aaa te equivocaste de bandera!!! JAJAJA
@@shake2800 jajajajaj no encontré la de Mexico
Yo también
I'm planning on visiting soon. Are you a tour guide ?
Greetings from Matamoros!!! great video, you should come over during spring break or even better, in the summer, there;s a lot of things and places to see here.
Thanks amigo! We'd love to visit during the summer months. We'll definitely plan a trip back 😄 saludos!
Born in Matamoros raised in California and now live in Brownsville 🥰 I go to Matamoros every chance I get. Mi Matamoros querido ✌🏼.
Nice! It’s so nice there in Brownsville/Matamoros. Do you like it better than living in California?
Y las balaceras apa??
@@angelmtz8433 Serio?
@@laurenandseth love Brownsville more than California ❤️
What do you like more about Brownsville than California@@pixydust1012
FYI , Brownsville has the battle field where the the last battle of the Civil war was fought! You should have gone to the Stillman house museum that was downtown Brownsville! It has a lot of pre Civil War items and a lot of historical items! But actually there are more museums you could have gone to as well! I’m glad you enjoyed your visit! Many blessings!
I can’t believe you can get so close to the rockets! 🤯
It was surprising that it’s not more restricted.
Don’t think it will stay that way long
Not a native Texan, but have been in s.tx since 98. Glad you enjoyed your visit & hope you make it back when the weather is warmer.
Regarding the Gulf Course, it was used by all even high school what hurt was it was so close to the border that there was always BP chases and sometimes we were caught having to lock ourselves in the rr our not go to practice, I am glad you guys saw the beauty in our hometown but there is soo much more to Brownsville then just being downtown
Also have the dolphin watch and see turtle rescue on island and Brownsville zoo is pretty awesome
That all sounds awesome! We have heard a lot of great things about the zoo :)
Thanks for the excellent video, I am heading to Brownsville in January coming down from Pittsburgh PA
Awesome. I like Pittsburgh :) Have fun in Texas!
Nice video!!! Next time, you should go listening to the Matamoros Music Band, they perform twice a week on Thursday and Sunday at 6:00pm in the Main Plaza in Matamoros Downtown 😊
Thank you! Just checked out your videos, that looks beautiful! Would love to come and see that. :)
Thank you for this video. Our town IS underrated but its the best place to live. And there is a lot of history and many many things to do.
Glad you liked it! That's really cool to hear :) Both of us think it would be an awesome city to live in. We can't wait to visit again because there is so much that we missed!
Sorry you couldn't see birds at that state park. Thank you gir sharing
Yeah, but there’s so many birds down here. Like at Sabal Palm Sanctuary, thousands. Kind of funny how the most famous place in town for bird watching was where we barely saw any. 😅 Thanks y’all!
Me alegra escuchar buenos comentarios acerca de nuestra ciudad Matamoros Tamaulipas, saludos!
you are great. come again to explore more Matamoros
Thanks amigo! We still want to see more of Matamoros for sure!
Loved this video. Thank you so much for all the effort you put into it.
Thank you! This video was quite the project 😅😅
Super happy i came across your video ❤ i subscribed !!😊 loved your vlog!!especially because you got to visit my town and share with us your experience.
Thanks Ruby! We loved visiting your hometown!! Such an awesome place 😊
So awesome you guys are doing a vlog on my hometown, loved the vlog so much, hope you do more!
Nice, thank you! We definitely plan on doing more videos in that area.
Born and Raised here in Brownsville! I Love it 😍
Glad you liked brownsville!!! You guys should come back for a part 2 during spring break!
Nice to see you guys visiting the RGV I am a border kid myself born Matamoros/Brownsville, I have been away for the last 32 years hope to visit one day again. Good luck on your travels
I’ve been to Brownsville my whole life to visit family and you shown me places I haven’t even been! Very awesome to see this , especially Matamoros so many Things that y’all need to see but with a tour person because it could get dangerous. I’m from a smaller town vallehermoso Tamaulipas , so much culture and so many delicious food places that y’all might want to see and is only 40 min away from Matamoros !
Nice! Yes, that is a great idea. We'd love to come back. Thanks for the recommendation! We haven't heard of Vallehermoso until now. Just looked it up on Google, looks very nice. We'd love to visit there for sure. :)
That looks like the type of place we love to visit! We will add it to the list. Cheers! :)
Thank you for capturing all you did in this very well-paced video. The area is rich in history and culture and if you could have extended your stay you would have had a better experience with the opportunity to see inside of museums on either side of the border. Glad you enjoyed your visit and had many nice things to show.
The history in culture there is absolutely incredible! We definitely want to come back and showcase more of what the area has to offer. We’re taking note of all the recommendations we’re getting now. Thank you! 😊
What a beautiful place and the food looks delicious!!
It’s really nice! Definitely one of my favorite places in Texas now, up there with San Antonio!
-Seth
Thanks for visiting our City! Brownsville
Brownsville showed us a good time! Cheers friend 😊
Nice video guys seen my town on a different view is nice beautiful done
Thank you, so glad you liked it! :)
❤️ gracias por hacer estos videos yo soy de Matamoros y mi esposo de Brownsville 💕 saludos desde East Texas ❤️
Loved this video, one of my favorites and now I really want to visit Brownsville. The rockets are so cool and the beach looks amazing. And the food over the border has me really missing Mexico!
Thanks! The rockets were one of the main highlights for us. Still shocked that it’s so accessible. Yes! The food in Mexico is unmatched!
I loved the video! I live in Matamoros and work in Brownsville. You would have definitely had a better experience If it was a Sunny Saturday afternoon over a cold Sunday noon. I’m glad y’all got a glimpse of what our daily lives of crossing to US while living in Mexico feels like.
Thanks! That's really cool. Hopefully the next time we return it will be warm and sunny! I don't blame people for wanting to stay inside, the weather was not cooperating with us 😂
Crusas la Frontera todos los dias?
Great video! I(kevin)miss visiting Matamoros and Brownsville . My family and I used to travel there very often we used to cross from mexico to Texas to go buy fajitas and then cook them in mexico! Lol
Thanks guys! That is so cool. 😅 That area is so nice! Sounds delicious too, can’t get enough of fajitas 🤤 😋 Hope you guys are doing great!
Hi 👋 Guys! I live here in Brownsville and I love it. I just realized you guys show places I have never visited but, on my to do list. Thanks for visiting and sharing our Beautiful Historic Brownsville.
Hello! :) Awesome, we are looking forward to coming back to Brownsville and seeing more.
I love my home....and our culture
I can see why, it is awesome!
you guys are awesome! I’m from Brownsville/Matamoros. I really enjoyed this video. Saludos!!
Thank you, amigo! Glad you enjoyed the video, we loved it there! I see you’re a creator as well, maybe we could link up next time we’re in town! Saludos!
I miss my hometown.. I've always wanted to go back to Brownsville...was born and raised there.. I live in Florida now but Brownsville is always on my mind..will never forget my beautiful city
Nice video guys!! You are awesome. Matamoros/Brownsville somos uno practicamente, esperemos les haya gustado todo el valle. I'm waiting for more videos!
thankyou
Thanks amigo! We're glad you liked the video. 😊
We could tell there was an awesome connection between Brownsville and Matamoros. Both of us had a great time and can't wait to come back and visit again! Saludos 🥂
@@laurenandseth ❤️
Would be amazing if you doing the same along the frontier!
Es decir, San Diego-Tijuana, El Paso-Cd.Juarez, Laredo-Nuevo Laredo, and other (USA-México). ¡Now i'm already subscribed!
Thank you guys for doing this. I admire your energy and positivity. You guys deserve all the things you aspire and good things to come your way.
Thanks so much!! Saludos 😊

Me da gusto que pudieran cruzar a matamoros, que lastima que fuera en domingo cuando hay muchas cosas cerradas. La comida es muy deliciosa en otros lugares y hay muchas cafeterias. Ojala y puedan volver. Amo mexico
Bonito reportaje chicos,muy bueno,gracias por incluir a matamoros.haganlo por todo el valle.
Gracias amigo! Queremos hacer mas videos en el RGV 😊
Buetiful video but next time visit in the summer it is so buetiful and amazing you’ll feel like your in the phillipines island or Thailand when the sun shines at all these places it is super pretty sorry about the sky during the winter it’s very cloudy but in the summer everything is so buetiful especially spi 😊
Nuevo Progreso is a must! About 40 min from Brownsville! Cool video!
Thanks! We have heard a lot about Nuevo Progreso and really want to check it out :)
It's so weird getting a recommend vid on my home cities both sides of the border are amazing I love the mix of American/Mexican that's on both sides. Used to work on SPI at the whataburger there and crossing the bridge is always an awesome drive. I may be on the other side of the world right now but man would I like to be back home in southmost
We loved this video, besties. You two are so adventurous and it inspires us! Thanks for showing more plant based foods, love to see it! Safe travels you two, stay awesome! 🖤-Ben and Ang
Thanks guys! We’re really getting hooked on the plant based foods now! Safe travels to you as well!
Good thing you didnt come during Spring Break because the traffic wouldve been chaos. Glad to know you guys like it here
My hometown ❤️, not many people document what y’all did about B&M (abbreviation). I actually live in Matamoros but work in Brownsville and I commute everyday. It’s a pain to sometimes not have quarters for that particular border crossing. If y’all would’ve crossed back on the same crossing you came through to the states it’s only a quarter or $5 pesos. (They do accept pesos). And don’t have to deal with that madness from that privately owned border crossing. Sundays after about 1 PM is when everyone pops out and business as usual. Great video guys!
That’s so cool! Thanks for the tip about the border crossing. I thought it was crazy that the bridge we crossed back on didn’t accept pesos on the Mexico side 🤯
Right down the street from Brownsville, hgn tx , love everything about my home the valley, rgv has it all
Awesome! I agree. It really is so nice. :)
I’ve lived in brownsville my whole life I love it here you DEFINITELY need to try out 3 Maria’s and Taqueria Siberia and get their huge tostada it’s amazing!😍😍
That huge tostada sounds delicious! Thanks for the recommendations. We're going to hit up a lot of places in the comments next time we visit! 😊
I’m excited watching this vlog bc I’m from matamoros! And see that my city it’s in a blog it’s kinda excited!!! It’s good to see that you guys have a lots of fun!!!
Thanks! We loved what we saw of Matamoros! Saludos 😊
WOW never knew or imagined that about Brownsville. Video suggestion: time to update the city you'd most be inclined to put roots down. I'm torn! Oaxaca over Merida b/c I feel like Oaxaca is more culturally rich and diverse, as well as landscape. But GDL??? CDMX? SLP? Puebla? Give us an update on the city you could practically see yourselves in. :)
Great idea! We’ll do just that. 😊 Want to visit GDL first though and spend more time in Guanajuato and Queretaro before making it because I think those will be very strong contenders.
As of right now, for me, Seth, if I was going to put down roots in a Mexican city for the indefinite future… it would be hands down Puebla. I absolutely love it there. Lauren says she’s torn between San Cristobal and Puebla.
We’re about to revisit SLP and I think it’s going to be up there as well, just based on the time we spent in the city center. Looks like there’s quite a bit to do in the surrounding area as well.
We’re both still torn on our favorite between Oaxaca and Merida too. 😅 I would still choose Oaxaca because of the mountains but it’s extremely close.
We’re definitely going to do a video on this soon and break it down.
Thanks for the great suggestion. Cheers!
The story of that golf course trapped behind the fence is kinda sad. That SpaceX Starbase is pretty cool. I love that you can drive on the beach in the area. I have always heard South Padre Island is fun. Thanks for showing us this area!
I know! It’s a really unfortunate situation for the golf course 😔 SpaceX was personally one of my favorite things in the area. It was an all around unique experience just seeing ocean waves crash and then turning around and there’s a space rocket 😂
New subscriber here! Like the teamwork narrative…
Thank you! 😊
Hello greetings from Matamoros good video 🙂
I'm from around here and I also make videos from time to time 🤠
when work allows it 😣
Hey bro! Nice to meet another creator on here. Just subscribed to your channel. We really enjoyed our visit to your area. I know how it goes with work getting in the way of making videos! 😅😃 cheers!
@@laurenandseth Thanks brother, it's nice to meet another content creator in my area too, one day I'd like to be there in brownsville too, cheers 🤠😊
I am also subscribed to your channel, you have good videos c:
Not sure how I came across your video, but I enjoyed it so much! I don’t live very far from Brownsville, maybe 30 minutes away and I only go to Brownsville to go to the mall or Academy. This video shows me there’s much more to be seen. And I’ve been to Matamoros quite a bit as my hubby is from there, but as tourists I HIGHLY recommend visiting Nuevo Progreso not Matamoros. Nuevo progreso is THE tourists spot, all tourists go there and it’s AMAZING! Lots of shops, food, music you name it. Anyway love the video and your outlook on the rio Grande Valley.
Thank you so much for showcasing beautiful Brownsville/SPI/Boca Chica/Matamoros area....people usually hear the bad things and don't realize what a wonderful place it is to live in or visit....great work!
Thanks for saying this, we absolutely loved it there! We are hoping to come back soon. 😊
Fabulous video guys! Love to see you visit more small affordable towns in Texas.
Thank you! We really liked traveling around Texas so we're hoping to go back soon. Small and affordable towns sounds like a great idea. :)
In High School, Fort Brown was our driving range for practice.
Interesting! Looks like it used to be really nice.
and the tacos from the puente viejo the one with the red tarp are bomb too the carnitas one
Awesome, thanks for the recommendations! :)
Great channel
Thank you!
Charro days weekend is coming up, don’t forget your Sombreros!
Looks like it was awesome, did you see Elon Musk anywhere? 😊
Hello guys I just saw you’re video and it’s pretty awesome I live in Brownsville but I’m originally from Matamoros, if you like I can take you around of Matamoros city and taste the real food of Mexico. Im here to help you guys!!! Ty for this amazing video.
Would love to be a guide, you hit a lot of good notes. Also I used to play golf at that course
Nice! Well we are definitely planning to come back, would love to meet up and learn a bit more great spots!
Next time I can show you more of the downtown of Matamoros, Mezquital Port, more museums 👍
Hey! That sounds great 😊 We'll probably be back in the area sometime in the next few months and would love to meet up and explore more of Matamoros!
