The Vermillion

After 83 years of deliciousness, the Davidson family sold the Vermillion to George Perez, who had been a big part of the Brownsville landmark since he began washing dishes there some thirty years ago. Perez promised to uphold the Davidson mantra of “Not Fancy, Just Good,” a philosophy that extends to his recently opened second location, in Harlingen.  We were delighted to find the same great ceviche we remembered, with chunks of fresh lime-cured fish, onion, and tomato served with house-made tostadas. We also enjoyed the Pancho Villa plate, one of our favorites, with two enchiladas, two beef tacos, and rice and beans.
