    Combo plate

    Very solid restaurant, came here after dunk hunting and I got the combo plate. Would come back for sure.

    Come on you guys can do better there's hardly any eggs and bean make this taco worth it, I won't be going there anymore....

    I got 2 tacos from there and they barely put any egg or beans on there, I won't go there anymore.

    Thin pork chops/sauce, Mexican rice, pinto beans/slices sausage and pico de gallo

    Absolutely outstanding!! Our first time and definitely won't be our last!! The furniture is so beautiful too!! Our meals were amazing!! I had the coconut shrimp with coleslaw and white rice mix. First time ever I could eat the shrimp without dipping it in the sauce. It was a touch sweet with great coconut flavor! The dipping sauce is also slightly sweet with a touch of coconut flavor! The coleslaw was amazing!! It was finely shredded, some of the best I've ever had! Hubby had the lunch special that day and was pork chops, Mexican rice, beans/sausage and pico de gallo. He said the pork chop melted in his mouth and the beans were outstanding!! Can't wait to go back soon!!

    Decided to get dinner here last week, without a doubt the best pastor tacos I have had in the area. I will be back for more.

They bartenders were awesome and they made some tasty and unique cocktails. If you get munchy, there's also a food truck that parks right outside the establishment.

    The Gold Fish is a shining example of Corpus having and maintaining nice things…read more There is a common misconception that this city cannot have nice things, and that if we do get them, they do not last very long. The Gold Fish has proven this long-held collective pessimism wrong. Originally a cocktail bar only, it has now expanded into a cocktail, beer and wine outdoor/indoor bar, which makes complete sense given the city's demographic demands. It was actually one of the first businesses I was most concerned with us losing permanently during the pandemic. And I am so glad they have stuck around! It is a modern cocktail bar at its core, which makes it very unique to this city. This is an obvious adoption of cocktail bar trends from other larger cities in Texas. It is very nice, with a wide array of adult beverage options for discriminating consumers to chose from. The atmosphere is perfect, and the bartenders and staff are top-notch and super nice (the attitude is refreshing compared to what one may be used to recieving from such establishments in larger cities). I usually only come here when I have company from out-of-town, as I do not go out for drinks very often. At my most recent visit, I had just experienced a personal tragedy that I only briefly alluded to our bartender when she asked how our day was going. The amount of sincere compassion we received was not expected at all. My only regret is that I did not get her name, or else I would have gladly included it in this review.

    If you're in Corpus Christi and even remotely appreciate great food, exceptional whiskey, or a…read morewell-executed vibe, Nueces Whiskey Library is an absolute must. This place is the coolest whiskey bar meets fine dining--and it nails both sides perfectly. I travel to Corpus for work and customer visits, but this is one of those rare spots where I'd come back just for the restaurant. The whiskey selection is outstanding--deep, thoughtful, and clearly curated by people who actually know and love whiskey. Whether you're a bourbon guy, a Scotch drinker, or just want to explore something new, the staff knows their stuff and makes great recommendations without any pretension. The food is where it really separates itself. This isn't bar food pretending to be upscale--this is legit, well-executed, chef-driven cuisine that easily competes with big-city dining. Every dish feels intentional, balanced, and elevated. It's the kind of place where you slow down, enjoy the experience, and immediately start planning what you're ordering next time. Atmosphere-wise, it's spot on: moody, polished, and cool without trying too hard. Perfect for entertaining customers, a business dinner, or just treating yourself after a long day. Corpus Christi is lucky to have this place. Nueces Whiskey Library sets the bar high--and then pours you something great while doing it.

    I have a new go-to spot when Im visiting Corpus and it's Neuces Whiskey Library!…read more I stopped in recently thanks to the recommendation of a local friend that knows I'm a whiskey lover. From the moment I walked in I fell in love with this space. From the dim lighting, to the elegant ambiance, to the cozy booth, and woodpaneled bar - I was immediately obsessed. Everything I tried here was absolutely delicious both from the food menu and the drink menu. I did a tasting flight (highly recommend) and sampled a few house cocktails. Neither approach will do you wrong and I recommend doing both if you have the time. For food we went with the : -sliders -charcuterie board - gnocchi -truffle fries And you can't go wrong with any of these. The sliders and charcuterie were the top two table favorites (although we may have been fighting over the last few truffle fries as well) Add this place to your list if you're in the Corpus area!

    Terrible experience from start to finish…read more We came in after a long day of fishing and chose this place because it's right on the harbor--should have been the perfect, convenient stop. Unfortunately, that's where the positives end. There were plenty of open tables, so we sat at one that had just been cleaned. We waited nearly 20 minutes while multiple waitresses walked by without ever acknowledging us. Eventually, one said she'd find someone to help us, and a young server finally came to take our drink order. It took about 10 minutes to get our drinks, another 15 minutes just to receive chips and queso, and over an hour for our food to arrive. We ordered simple items--nachos, quesadillas, and two burgers--nothing that should have taken that long. To make matters worse, they ran out of sweet tea, so we were stuck drinking water while waiting for more to be made. About 20 minutes later, we watched them take the tea container next door to finally prepare it. The food itself was just average bar food at best--not worth the wait. On top of that, there were people smoking inside the restaurant, which made the experience even more unpleasant. Despite being right on the harbor, they didn't even open the garage doors to let a breeze flow through, which would have made a big difference. To top it all off, when the bill came, it was incorrect. When splitting the checks, items were put on the wrong tickets, creating even more frustration at the end of an already disappointing meal. We will not be back.
