I'm in the Portland,Tx area for a pony league tournament. I was in the mood for some Mexican style fish, so i decided to visit this establishment. I ordered the grilled fish and it was delicious. The service and ambience was fantastic and you can't beat the price. I'll definitely go back if I'm in the area. read more

From Dallas and ate here every morning for breakfast. Service was amazing and the breakfast tacos OMG!!! Home made flour tortillas wanted to take this place home with me..thank you read more

The seafood here is very good. The breading is light and it has a very nice flavor. The drum fillets were well cooked and tasty. The fried shrimp were fresh tasting and delicious. Solid seafood offerings. Service was a little slow as it appears they were understaffed but overall they were hustling. read more

This was my first time eating here and people who know me know that I judge all Mexican restaurants breakfast by their guisada. La Ribera did not let me down. The taco was HOT enough to melt the cheese. I apologize about the bite out but had to try lol. This place is really good and the staff is awesome. read more

La Ribera - Guisada Taco - Mexican Near Me - Corpus Christi, Texas

This place was fabulous!! The food was outstanding, starting with the customary chips and salsa...salsa was delicious! The chicken fried steak was hearty and not over battered, topped with tasty cream gravy. My wife's texas plate with the superfecta of Mexican cuisine, rice, beans, enchiladas, and carne guisada was just as delicious. Next time we visit, we will try the fried fish and shrimp plate as that was all over the restaurant as well. Great place!! read more

Please note that this place is also called Morgan Street Market and Seafood. Came here for dinner tonight based on the recommendation of a coworker who had eaten here before while staying in Corpus for work. I was a little worried because it doesn't seem to be located in a great part of town. I also wasn't expecting it to be a Mexican Seafood Restaurant. The place is super clean inside, albeit undecorated and cheap. And there's a funky smell of cleaning solution when you walk in. But this was about the only negative that I have to say. We were able to seat ourselves anywhere we wanted. The menu was extensive with choices for about every taste. All the options were in both Spanish and English. Service was prompt and friendly. My coworker and I had a hard time deciding what we wanted to eat. She eventually settled on the garlic grilled shrimp and I asked for the Shrimp Diablo. Luckily the server warned me it was super spicy, so I ended up also ordering the garlic shrimp. Right after, the server dropped off a small sample of the diablo sauce for me to try and she wasn't joking! It was a slow burn, but extremely hot and long lasting! Glad I went with something else. The food cake promptly and the plate was HUGE! We got fresh, homemade guacamole, Spanish rice, lettuce with tomatoes, French fries, and shrimp and grilled onions. All for $10!!!! And the shrimp was delicious! There were 12 large shrimp that tasted super fresh, grilled onions, and chinks of fresh garlic. She also brought buttered pieces of toast for the side. This was in addition to the chips and salsa brought early on. Dinner was delicious and I'm stuffed! read more

WOW. Great food and friendly service. We'll be back. Choke Relleno was awesome. my husband loved the beef enchiladas. Don't worry about the folks in the sidewalk they left us alone. read more

I sat there for 20 minutes before I got service, and there was a big ass bone in my shredded chicken quesadilla and I am now sick.! not even a one start honestly read more

Best. Drum. Anywhere!!!! We get the drum and shrimp platter and split it. Map worth it. Usually get it to go because of COVID but ate their once and the staff is really friendly. Can't wait to eat here more often when times get back to "normal" read more

The food here was soooooo good! Very authentic Mexican food. Only a few minutes drive from the aquarium. Great service too. I would recommend the chicken fajitas, so delicious and full of flavor! read more

First stop we made in Texas and it definitely hit the spot! Not my favorite chips and salsa I've ever had, but for my entree I got a lunch combo - cheese enchilada with the best sauce, a stuffed soft taco, and some tasty rice and beans - all were super delicious. Sadly I didn't get a pic! The food reminded me of my favorite spot in NC. The staff here was really friendly! The lighting was a bit dark and the ambience could use some improvements. read more

Do not judge a book by its cover. I learned this lesson once again with this place. Fantastic food at a great price!

So I called in for an order to go and the girl on the other end asked me to hold. Time passed for about 8 minutes but while on hold I heard her giggling and gossiping about either customers or employees and would tend to customers paying their bill. I hung up and called back about 2 minutes later. The same girl(with limited English) answered and I asked if they were taking orders and she started laughing and said yea. I stated that I had called and was on hold for several minutes and she said was sorry and started laughing again. I placed the order but decided to cancel it due to who knows what they would've put in my food. I highly do not recommend this place based on poor customer service. I can only imagine what their actual service is like. read more

I was in town visiting someone that lives in Corpus and asked, where do you and your wife go for lunch, and we ended up here. As you enter and walk past the fish market, it's not much to look at. The inside is the same. What makes this place so good is the food and the service. I ordered the #60 and it was awesome. The shrimp and oysters were so fresh. Not sure what kind of breading was used on the fish filet, but was good. Credit card or cash is accepted. I highly recommend this hole in the wall place! read more

I stopped here because of the reviews ,but apparently I ordered the wrong dish- the daily special was the chicken fried steak, which was absolutely nothing special- the mashed potatoes were powdered mashed potatoes !!!and some corn out of a can- I should've ordered Mexican food ,but the waitress suggested this ...bad move read more

What a great surprise. This place was recommended to me by a friend in Houston and it was every bit as good as they said it would be. If you want some authentic Mexican food this is the place. Both the chicken and the cheese enchiladas were some of the best I've had. And I've had more then most. Don't let the outside scare you off the food is great! read more

This placed was very busy and we were lucky to hear some mariachi music. Lots of menu choices. My husband and mom tried the drum and said it was delish. I had the huevos rancheros with was very tasty. The corn tortillas were perfect! They blew any other flour tortilla out of the water. I may be back based on those alone. If you're debating on whether or not to go, don't. Give them a try. read more

I ate here with my family a few nights ago. We were hesitant upon arrival, because from the outside it seemed to be less than desirable. Do NOT let that stop you from visiting. We were instructed to seat ourselves, and it wasn't long before we were served drinks, chips, and salsa while we looked over their extensive menu. Seriously, there are SO many choices, especially if you love seafood. My shrimp enchiladas were absolutely amazing. They were served with beans and rice. I swiped some guacamole off of my brother's plate and enjoyed that as well. Very fresh. Everyone enjoyed what they ordered. The only thing keeping me from giving the 5th star is the atmosphere. No frills, but absolutely would not stop me from returning. The pricing is fantastic, and the serve you in a timely manner. read more

Good food. Slow service. Very reasonable Probably the best chorizo y huevos I ever ate. Not greasy !!! read more

I really enjoy their breakfast because they do not over-salt their food. I also enjoy their dinner. I would say they have the freshest seafood in Corpus Christi, which is sad because we are by the water. Anyway My only complaints are about the shady neighborhood, I was once approached by scary-looking panhandler. I also find the bathrooms atrocious, I don't even want to think about that. Overall i like them and would recommend them to my family from out of town. read more

Some of the best seafood in the city. Fresh, lightly dip and cooked. Special this evening was fillet of fish, mashed tators with corn, salad and buttered toasted bread. All this $7.95!!! read more

After hearing about this place so many times, we finally went. I was all built up about how good it's supposed to be. It was kind of a let down. It was ok, but not fantastic. The fried oysters were great! However, I shit you not, I had a pearl in my oyster! See the picture I posted! Kinda cool, cause I didn't bust a tooth. The fried shrimp were gorgeous, and large. Hubby had the fried drum. Also a generous portion. The fries and salad were pretty weak. Overall, the fried food was pretty good, but lacking salt, and I am not one to salt food. Service was ok, not real friendly, and it was a good thing we didn't need anything, cause the waitress dropped the ticket with the meal and that's the last contact we had with her. read more

mexican food good their Shrimp soup not good Coocktail you only taste ketchup ill past wouldn't order it again read more

Another great Mexican food place in Corpus! I know we have 1000 Mexican food restaurants but most are not great at all. This one is worth the drive for sure. Fresh real authentic food is hard to find. Amazing corn tortillas and some super hot sauce if you want it. I chickened out but the food was so good you didn't need it. Chips and salsa was top notch too. I will say it was a little loud and outside there was a really bad trash smell since the dumpster was in the front. You don't eat outside so totally not that big of a deal. Great staff and food at a great price means I will be back. read more

This is my favorite place for Mexican style seafood. I just wish it didn't smell so strong like Fabuloso in here. My husband almost got our food to go because of the strong smell. I recommend the shrimp diablo and friend shrimp and fish plates. read more

Seafood was delish. We got fried fish, shrimp, and oysters. Each platter was served with salad and french fries. Son got the cheese enchilada with greasy rice and beans which were definitely refried, a few times. Neighborhood is sketchy and they don't have a security guard so be careful parking. Maybe I'll just get it to go next time we are in town. read more

We were looking for a restaurant that had a seafood platter with fish, shrimp and oysters and found this restaurant in the area that we were in. La Ribera had exactly what we were looking for and our meal was perfect! We liked it so much that we're going back this morning to try their breakfast read more

Awesome food and very nice people!! Best Mexican we have had in a while. Food was excellent and very reasonably priced.
