    Tried this new little place. The hubs ordered a michelada. It included a big shrimp for $7.95. The Coronas were $3. I really liked that they give you a complimentary ceviche tortilla chip. The chips they use are really good. We got a few snacks: ceviche tostadas, octopus lettuce wrap, and shrimp cocktail. The shrimp cocktail was tasty. I wasn't a fan of the octopus it was too chewy. The ceviche was tasty but it's made with tilapia:/ most restaurants will use Basa which is worse. Yuck! The good thing is that they offer an upgrade to flounder for $1. Most places don't have this option so props to Cevi Chelas.

    Classic Ceviche! Delicious! They gave us sample to try

    This place is awesome! It's clean! The owner's are friendly! And they give people samples!! Toppings such as jicama, radishes, mango are available to add to the various ceviches available. Parking is easy. They have free wi-fi. A/C works VERY good, which is a huge plus. They serve beer (glass bottle), home-made lemonade and Mexican sodas. It's a must place!

    Delicious!!! I got the shrimp and dish ceviche and it was delish. The chips were tasty. My co worker got the soup and it looked so good. Definitely reccomend this resturaunt. Staff was very nice.

    Vuelve la Vida Seafood Cocktail!  AMAZING!

    Vuelve la Vida cocktail = The Taste of the Ocean. Best seafood cocktails in the valley at a great price. Not a fancy place, rather small with about 8-10 tables. Open kitchen so you can see the fresh seafood used to make your cocktails. Cold beer and HOT habanero sauce. Service is really good and owner is super friendly. If you like seafood cocktails you must try this one.

    Hands Down, The BEST MICHELADAS IN ToWN!! A Truely Authentic Flavor of the Tropics!!! They married the essential ingredients that seemingly were meant for each other... Ice Cold Micheladas, Fantastic selections of Lemon-Marinated Ceviche, & Fresh Ocean Caught Botanas!!! Very Friendly and Accommodating! You'll find very different styles of Ceviches, an assortment of Micheladas, their famous 1 to 2 lbs of seafood in their large bowls of "Sopas de Marisco", as well as other items on the menu. You can expect everything from the Michelada mixes to cocktail sauces to be made from Scratch, Fresh on site! It simply doesn't get any closer to the real-deal than Cevi Chelas!

    Been coming to the RGV for a while and this is one of the first seafood places I have tried. The front may be a little deceiving. The staff are friendly and prompt. The food itself is super fresh. Had the shrimp ceviche with the mango and it was delicious! I also tasted the regular shrimp cocktail and no disappointment there. Definitely coming back when in the area.

    Ceviche Tostadas!!! Awesome!!!

    The shrimp cocktail was sweet, the shrimp was not fresh. Ceviche was tasteless. Michelada was poorly made.

    Ceviche was not cooked in lime. It was hard and looked like they cut the fish when I arrived and they tossed in in lime juice.

Our waitress was attentive, friendly, and had a great demeanor to her. I started off with a Premier Corona to curb off any bad energy I might have walked in with & humbled myself to give this mom and pop joint a chance. The menu offers all your standard Mexican seafood staples. We went for the mariscada for 2 which was a terrific portion for two grown adults with a heavy appetite (mind you no app's were ordered). In the mariscada there was plentiful fish, shrimp, jalapeño cheese bites, fries, and onion rings. This was accompanied by two plates of rice, salad and two cups of consomé. The rice was flavorful & the consomé was super tasty, on the heavier side since it had pieces of shrimp and heavy handed spice but very memorable. The batter used on all the food was very palatable. Needless to say, dinner ended up being delightful. The manager rang us up and informed us that they would start having karaoke nights starting in January. The entire time they played great Mexican music that will have you strumming to the beat. So I'm positive their karaoke nights will be a hit. Tired or wanting to try a new Mexican seafood spot?

The restaurant is much the same and the service was equally friendly. From among the choices that day, I opted for a menu item named seafood Florentina and would be eating inside the small but tidy restaurant. The platter was good, with the main ingredient - the fish - being tasty. The portion sizes were good and the accompanying salad and broth were appreciated. The presentation just didn't look like any other Florentine dish I've had. It was sort of "busy," with other ingredients I've not seen in Florentine presentations in the U.S. I think it's something they can revisit if they choose to. Note that this is a strong 3 stars for Fish King in Brownsville and it's for the restaurant. Note that it's much easier to approach this restaurant from Brownsville, traveling eastbound, so you can make a right turn between its entry pilasters to its parking lot. With all the business they do and loyal customer base, it's fairly obvious that the fish market itself delivers.
