We went to Mahi Nic's on a rainy day. All seating is outside, most is under a tent, while others…read moreare only under umbrellas. We did have to wait a few minutes to be seated, and weren't sure why we weren't given menus. But we saw signs indicating to order at the back counter. We went to the counter, took a menu and came back to our party to decide what we would order. You place your order, give your table number and they bring your food. The food took about 10-15 minutes to come out, but it was warm and delicious. My husband got the blacked mahi sandwich, I got the Iron Skillet Shrimp (pictured) and a Turbo Pelican Colada. Everything was delicious! The iron skillet came with 8 huge shrimp and I opted for garlic butter, which gave a dipping sauce. The fries were HUGE! Our kids loved the fries, burger and hot dogs that they ordered. The drink I ordered was strong and tasty, the toasted coconut was the icing on the cake. The drink came with a beautiful drink decoration, which my kids found cool to play with. We would visit again and plan on it.

We had another fantastic experience at Mahi Nic! The food is consistently delicious, the prices are…read morevery reasonable, and the service is always friendly, attentive, and welcoming. It has become one of our favorite places to eat on South Padre Island. One of my favorite things is how genuinely pet-friendly they are. They even have a dog menu, so our dachshund, PeeWee, gets to enjoy lunch with us too. It's refreshing to find a restaurant that truly welcomes the whole family, including four-legged family members. After watching the KRGV Take 5 segment, I loved learning that the new owners were the cooks before taking over the restaurant. You can absolutely tell they know what they're doing. The quality of the food, the consistency, and the atmosphere have all been elevated under the new ownership while still keeping the laid-back island vibe. If you're looking for great food, excellent service, reasonable prices, and a place where everyone--including your dog--is welcome, Mahi Nic is the place to go. We'll definitely be back again and again with PeeWee and the rest of our family and friends. Highly recommend!

True to its name, the restaurant's theme is "shack," yet it offers an air-conditioned section for those who prefer to avoid the heat and humidity.The venue may be small, so your patience with the staff is appreciated--they are likely busy preparing and completing your order. Rest assured, the wait will be worthwhile. Just relax and enjoy your visit.

Pretty much like everywhere. Seated and drinks quick. Order taken. Guess we need to wait a bit. Oh dear the fish tacos were beef. Really good, but not fish. The mushroom and Swiss burger and onion rings were outstanding. I did tell them about the messed up order. They wanted to fix it. I didn't want to wait. No biggie. In synopsis, go, eat, and enjoy. It's worth it. And I got a giant piece of Spice cake to take home. Excellent compilation!

We visited the new Los Fresnos locations in search of a new restaurant. It was early on a Friday…read moreevening so there weren't too many people there, so that's good because we didn't have to wait to long for our orders. The ambiance and vibe inside was relaxing and comforting. It's not a big place, it only has a few tables. We ordered iced tea to drink and got some chips and salsa as appetizers. The salsa tasted homemade and not too spicy, which is good. As main entrees, I ordered the quesadillas. The menu has them as either shrimp or chicken quesadillas, but the owner was gracious enough to make them just with cheese, since I don't eat meat. They came with a side of salad and rice. My husband got the fried shrimp and it came with fries and coleslaw. Both dishes tasted fresh and tasty. It is advertised as a seafood restaurant, but their breakfast menu is more extensive, so we might come back to try their breakfast items. Everything we ordered was good, I'm glad we gave this new restaurant a try. The original location was in Port Isabel and have since moved to Los Fresnos. I'm glad they did. We will certainly be back again and recommend it to friends and family.

The atmosphere was fantastic, especially with the ocean breeze coming through. We ordered the steamed mussels, the grilled red snapper sandwich, and the grilled red snapper entrée. Our favorite dish was the red snapper sandwich. It tasted fresh and had more of a homestyle feel rather than something overly polished from a professional kitchen, which we really appreciated. Honestly, everything tasted fresh, comforting, and well prepared. The service was also incredible throughout the night. The only slight issue we had was spotting a cockroach crawl from under one of the chairs when we pulled it out. However, considering the restaurant is basically right on the beach and outdoors, insects are somewhat expected, and it honestly didn't take away from the experience for us. Overall, great atmosphere, great food, and a really enjoyable dinner spot in South Padre.

The restaurant was mostly clean, but it was extremely hot and stuffy inside. It took a moment to acclimate to the temperature--especially in South Texas during July, where you would expect to feel the air conditioning as soon as you walk in. The staff worked efficiently, but I could hear everything they said, and I mean everything. Additionally, there was a door that slammed shut every time a staff member used it, which was a bit distracting.
