Our waitress was attentive, friendly, and had a great demeanor to her. I started off with a Premier Corona to curb off any bad energy I might have walked in with & humbled myself to give this mom and pop joint a chance. The menu offers all your standard Mexican seafood staples. We went for the mariscada for 2 which was a terrific portion for two grown adults with a heavy appetite (mind you no app's were ordered). In the mariscada there was plentiful fish, shrimp, jalapeño cheese bites, fries, and onion rings. This was accompanied by two plates of rice, salad and two cups of consomé. The rice was flavorful & the consomé was super tasty, on the heavier side since it had pieces of shrimp and heavy handed spice but very memorable. The batter used on all the food was very palatable. Needless to say, dinner ended up being delightful. The manager rang us up and informed us that they would start having karaoke nights starting in January. The entire time they played great Mexican music that will have you strumming to the beat. So I'm positive their karaoke nights will be a hit. Tired or wanting to try a new Mexican seafood spot? THIS place is for you!!

This review is only for the restaurant. I went in to Fish King on the highway connecting…read moreBrownsville to Port Isabel to get some lunch, already having found it several years prior. The restaurant is much the same and the service was equally friendly. From among the choices that day, I opted for a menu item named seafood Florentina and would be eating inside the small but tidy restaurant. The platter was good, with the main ingredient - the fish - being tasty. The portion sizes were good and the accompanying salad and broth were appreciated. The presentation just didn't look like any other Florentine dish I've had. It was sort of "busy," with other ingredients I've not seen in Florentine presentations in the U.S. I think it's something they can revisit if they choose to. Note that this is a strong 3 stars for Fish King in Brownsville and it's for the restaurant. Note that it's much easier to approach this restaurant from Brownsville, traveling eastbound, so you can make a right turn between its entry pilasters to its parking lot. With all the business they do and loyal customer base, it's fairly obvious that the fish market itself delivers.

So she asked if I wanted another glass and said loudly I wanted another glass but the one she used was only cracked as if that wasn't a good enough excuse. Got me another one but just had it packed up to go , lost my appetite, seems like there's always an ending to what was a good eating spot. Oh well .then they start putting up chairs early and I was waiting on my partner to pay and waitress says "your finished right so I can sit these people down ? I was like if only you could have seated us down on a clean table when we came in I wouldn't have had an issue with hurrying up to move for people who just came in. Why not put chairs back down they don't close for another hour. Do NOT recommend.
