Growing up in Brownsville, Texas, rapper Carlton Zeus garnered a special appreciation for Matamoros’ street vendors. For the days he can’t cross the border, Zeus found excellent grub in his own backyard. The Block Food Park & Patio Bar is the place Zeus and his crew indulge in nachos and beer. But the food comes second to the staff that makes everyone feel at home. Next up, a food truck where Martin “El Huero” makes tacos with tortillas made from burnt cheese. Zeus loves food…like, a lot.
