This is my kind of place, chill vibe at the marina, looking at beautiful boats on the water. The food was outstanding! we had blackened shrimp tacos and blackened mahi tacos with a side of chips and pico, (all freshly made) and 2 frozen drinks that tasted like dessert. EVERYTHING WAS AMAZING!!! And I am not exaggerating, it has been the best food I have had since I landed here. Do yourself a favor and get out of the crappy strip mall restaurants and give this place a go. It feels like you are on vacation and it won't break the bank either...very reasonably priced for the amount of food you receive and the quality of the food. I wish I took photos but I was so hungry when I arrived and kind of forgot.. highly recommend!

Unfortunately, we found the food a bit underwhelming compared to some of the other restaurants we visited during our stay. We ordered the mahi tacos, and while the sauce was nice, the tacos came out somewhat cold. They weren't bad, but they just didn't leave much of an impression. The service was alright as well. We arrived about 10 minutes after opening and ended up standing around for a bit before someone came over to take our order. Overall, we loved the ambiance and location, but the food and service didn't quite measure up to some of the other spots we tried in South Padre.

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.

It is part of the Palms Hotel/Resort. Parking is tight but we got lucky arriving just after most of the 4th of July crowd had checked out. It was busy but the wait was not bad. Maybe 25 min. There are Benches and a nice walkway to the beach. Great view from the patio . We ran into the owner and she could not have been more welcoming and friendly. She brought us a bowl of water for my dog while we waited . The food was awesome but Hubby was disappointed they were only offering breakfast items until noon. He really wanted to try the Red Snapper sandwich but settled for the crab cake eggs Benedict. I had the BLT (Bacon LOBSTER Tomato) Eggs Benedict. genius! Lots of lobster chunks and it was so flavorful. Both were very good but I preferred the BLT. The Bloody Mary was a little bland , nothing fancy. The vibe, the view, the food! And plenty of friendly staff to keep things moving along quickly. Our food came out pretty fast. Will def be back whenever out that way again.

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.
