If you're in the McAllen area and craving fresh, flavorful seafood, Krab Kings is an absolute…read moremust-visit! From the moment we walked in, the entire experience was impressive. Food: The seafood was incredibly fresh, seasoned perfectly, and packed with bold flavor. Every bite tasted like it was prepared with care. The sauces were rich without overpowering the natural flavor of the seafood, and the portions were generous. You definitely leave satisfied. Pro tip: I highly recommend ordering bottled water with your meal -- it pairs perfectly with the seasoning and keeps everything balanced while you enjoy the full flavor experience. Service: Ruby was friendly, attentive, and genuinely welcoming. Our server checked on us consistently without being intrusive, and everything came out quickly and hot. Great customer service. Thanks Ruby! Ambiance: The atmosphere is lively, clean, and comfortable. It has that fun seafood-boil energy while still being relaxed enough to enjoy good conversation. It's a great spot for family dinners, friends' night out, or even a casual date night. Overall, Krab Kings delivers on flavor, service, and vibe. We'll definitely be back!

**UPDATE FILED A COMPLAINT WITH BBB AND ATTORNEY GENERAL**…read more First time visiting and honestly the food was GOOD, but the service on our table was a disaster. We had a group of 6 and specifically pointed out the exact platters we wanted directly on the menu to our waiter multiple times. Somehow the order was still entered completely wrong. What was supposed to be around $241.31 before taxes, fees, and gratuity somehow turned into over $400 worth of food. When the food came out, it immediately looked excessive and not what we ordered, but since it was our first time there we weren't totally sure at first. We got the manager involved, and I think there was some misunderstanding like we were trying to avoid paying the bill entirely, which was never the case. We simply wanted the bill corrected closer to what we originally ordered. To their credit, they did work with us and got it down to $338. Again, the food itself was really good, but the wait staff seriously needs more training before handling larger tables because this was way more stressful and expensive than it should've been.

I understand if it has to be a different price that's fine but to not let me order them at all was annoying. we were a party of 4 and my boyfriend's food came out 30 minutes after everyone else's. It wasn't even a crazy order either it was a basket of fish and shrimp. I would not recommend this place at all unless you aren't hungry and have 2 hours to spare.

A Hidden Gem for Mexican Seafood -- Don't Sleep on This Place!…read more As a traveler from California in town for a swim meet, I was on the hunt for good Mexican seafood and stumbled upon La Costa Grill. Based on the reviews, I had decent expectations -- but this place blew them out of the water. The ratings honestly don't do it justice. From the moment we walked in, the hospitality was warm and genuine. We were greeted by the hostess and seated right away, even during the lunch rush. Then came a wonderful surprise: our server brought out a mini skillet of the most incredible black refried beans for dipping, alongside four salsas ranging from mild to hot, all served with tostadas -- compliments of the house. Back in California, you're lucky to get one salsa, let alone refried beans as a free starter. It immediately set the tone for the meal. Our server was knowledgeable and genuinely helpful with recommendations. We ended up sharing a lunch portion of paella, an octopus taco, and a fish ceviche tostada -- and every single dish delivered. The octopus taco was a standout; served over a layer of refried beans, it was a flavor combination I didn't know I needed. The ceviche tostada was fresh and bright, and the paella was satisfying and well-seasoned. I also have to give our server extra credit for her transparency -- she mentioned upfront that the paella leans heavier on rice than seafood. That kind of honesty is rare and really appreciated. We ordered it anyway, and we were glad we did. If you're visiting McAllen and want authentic, flavorful Mexican seafood with outstanding service and hospitality, La Costa Grill needs to be on your list. I'll absolutely be returning before I head back home.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

I always go to Istioneria Michoacana on Dive and 10th and the whole red snapper is like $38, and the special, with six delicious grilled shrimp is like $42. Really, never going back to La Costa. Have never paid $65 for a small fish! Don't go there, go to Ostioneria Michoacana. I was so mad but it was my fault for not asking the price before ordering. I still think it's a ripoff!

The fish came with rice, salad, vegetables and corn tortillas. Good dish. We ordered it with one more piece of fish and shared it. Good meal and decent price. There are menus in Spanish and English!
