My wife uttered, "this food is better than some of the restaurants on South Padre". South Padre Island is a frequent vacation spot of ours and I must agree with my wife, sweet baby Jesus, the food here is f'ing delicious. This will be out go-to spot when we return to Commerce.

Whole friend Tilapia. It comes with salad, fries and rice. Good deal:D

El Golfo is the only seafood eatery in Commerce, TX. The restaurant is neat and clean. Food quantity is great! The staff are friendly. Their whole fried Tilapia and shrimp gumbo are my favorites!

Oysters and shrimp

Fresh and tasty. Place looks divey but run by nice folks. Got the oysters and fried shrimp- like the cornmeal batter they were fried in!

Half a dozen of oysters

Aloha, Tiki Tuesday! What a fun way to spend a Tuesday evening! The tropical cocktails helped us…read morefeel as though we were transported to the islands. They were not only beautifully crafted but absolutely delicious--each sip had us dreaming of swaying palm trees, ocean breezes, and a Hawaiian getaway. We loved both the Mai Tais and the Beachy Bookkeeper! We decided to share a few appetizers. The Meatballs al Forno was my favorite...packed with flavor and perfect for enjoying with friends over drinks. The Heirloom Tomato Burrata was okay however, the tomatoes didn't seem ripe and were hard and chewy. The Lobster in a Jar was tasty - on the pricey side if you ask me though... One of my favorite things about this spot is the ambiance. The lighting is low (and by low I am flat out dark where you almost can't see your hand in front of your face), creating a dark, cozy, and intimate atmosphere that makes it easy to relax and unwind after a long day. Whether you're catching up with friends, enjoying a date night, or simply looking for a place to escape for a few hours, the vibe here is spot on. The service was fantastic as well. Everyone was friendly, attentive, and made sure we had everything we needed, which only added to the experience. Tiki Tuesday has officially become one of my favorite weekly traditions. Great drinks, delicious appetizers, wonderful service, and a cozy atmosphere--what more could you ask for? I'll definitely be back next Tuesday for another little island escape. Where's my grass skirt and coconut bra??? Mahalo for a great evening!

Appreciate the effort, but they are trying too hard and just didn't work for me. Crammed tables and…read morea bit gimmicky. Food is not special. Very average. We got our drinks as we were almost finished with appetizers. Drinks are overpriced. Here's a picture of a $20 old-fashioned before I had a sip. About a quarter inch of actual alcohol in here after I took the giant ice cube out. Waiter did his best to overcome the shortcomings.

Make sure take advantage of their daily happy hour deals that last until 7! If you come in during their martini thursday i'd highly recommend the espresso martini.

Also need a password to enter! They have some comfy lounge couches in the back. That's where we decided to sit. We all started off with cocktails, I had the Paloma and Jake's Milk Punch. Which the Milk punch caught me off guard, it's a pina colada with a twist. We all said the cocktails were really good! And ended it with the Freddy snacks, which are shots. The bartender did an amazing job on the drinks! Our host was John who always checked on us, and told us all the details about the food. As far as food we ordered Wagyu smash burger sliders, Asian sticky ribs, and Shrimp scampi. Everything was so good! It makes us all want to try Sea Breeze restaurant which it's inside of. I want to try their other menu items even more now. We will definitely be back!

Feels like downtown without the travel. We have done multiple stone bowls and quesos. The husband loves the burrito and I have tried the empandas and different tacos. One thing that holds is back, the drinks.... so sweet. Just be known. What a great way to not worry about sweet drinks is go for brunch. We did the flight, so we got three different juices and champagne, perfect. I was disappointed to see the menu online had breakfast empanadas, but they were just standard ones when we got there. He got the chimi and I did the birria bowl... fantastic. Great place for a snazzier mexican dinner or brunch.

The Guac was fantastic, but the drink was not. Ordered the shrimp tacos and a different drink. This time both were not good. The shrimp was cold and you only get 2 tacos. The tacos were also very much too loaded with cabbage. I ordered a side of the elotes and smoked garlic potatoes and a third drink. All 3 of those were good. The service was good and the place was packed, but I wouldn't come back.

The atmosphere is stylish without feeling overly pretentious, making it a great spot for date nights, small group hangouts, or just unwinding after a long week. The rooftop views are definitely a highlight, especially around sunset, and they add a lot to the overall vibe.
