Los Tortugo's is a combo seafood market and restaurant ... we went to dinner at the restaurant…read more It's an OK place ... service was very slow. We sat outside, and it took 20 minutes and multiple requests to get a server to our table. Most of our food was delivered barely warm. We ordered the crab cake and grilled crab claws appetizers. Just OK ... Dinner was flounder and red snapper. The fish was good, was as noted served lukewarm. The star of the evening was the salsa, served with the chips ... complimentary! Awesome salsa... simple, sautéed tomatoes, onion and jalapeño... delicious! Plenty of good seafood places in the SPI area, we likely won't be back. Cannot recommend...

Stopped in to order food to go. While waiting the woman manager or owner decides to meet with all…read morethe wait and kitchen staff about ten feet away from me. I am on my phone watching Facebook reels. She started to talk loudly to them about things she was not happy about and got louder and louder and got more and more descriptive of things she was not happy about. She spoke Spanish to them and I think she assumed I did not understand Spanish. It got to the point that I felt embarrassed for the employees and I raised the volume on my phone so that I did not have to hear what was being said. It did not work! That made me very upset and I began to get a tight knot in my stomach. She was very loud and talked to them in a very condescending and mean manner. I lost my appetite!!! I could only take so much. I got up from my chair, walked over, interrupted the meeting to motion my waiter to me and told him to please cancel my order because I did not like what was happening in front of customers. I said it was not right. And, I made sure to look at her when I said that. I also said I will never return and walked out. I feel sorry for the employees. I really hope she did not take it out on them. But, I had to say something. This happened exactly as I have written it. The woman did not respond to me in any way. I think she was shocked.

The beer selection is over the top The staff seems to stay there, thank goodness! The new improvements, the new dining area, makes it bigger so more people can have fun. Very nicely done. So if you want a unique place to eat or just hang out and banter with the staff & bar folk, come here! No other place around SPI is like this. You will not be disappointed!

After reading the reviews, I had high hopes and really wanted to like it but the food was just okay, for the most part. I had the Schnitzel for the first time since I was a kid living in Germany and was very excited to try it again now that I'm an adult. The Schnitzel and everything that came with it (minus the cabbage) was just way too salty. Listen, I'm a savory/salty girlie myself, but this was just too much. I do recommend it if you're okay with that. Me personally, I didn't like that. I would've given this place 5 stars and it would've been 10/10 if it wasn't so salt crazy.

Got a seat and saw the Joey's special and got that. Also ordered a salad and hush puppies. The appetizer came out almost at the same time as my meal no biggie. Huskies were ok nothing special. Now the salad was a huge disappointment first off the waiter didn't ask what dressing I wanted and brought out ranch no biggie went and just changed it out. They dont have a huge selection of dressing but got one. Now the salad was warm room temp warm gross first time I have ever eaten a room temp salad not my favorite but on principle at it anyway. My meal came out and everything looked fantastic the fish, shrimp, oysters, and crab. Everything tasted greeted except the coleslaw it was room temp and who eats room temp coleslaw every restaurant I've ever eaten coleslaw slaw its cold and delicious.

I had the boiled shrimp (best on the island!), we shared the nachos(simple, but the homemade chips were fantastic, large portion), hubbs had a cheese burger and said it was dellicious. We shared a corn dog and it was better than the TX State Fair's. Nice crunch on the outside, perfectly moist on the inside. Ok to the important stuff ---drinks. VERY priced and don't let the plastic cups fool you...the pours are SOLID. Hubbs had a Long Island ice tee, me a double Buff trace with a splash of water.

A trip to Pirate's Landing is basically a must for my partner and me anytime we're in Port Isabel…read more It's his favorite fishing spot, and honestly, it's become one of my favorite little traditions too even though I don't like fishing, I go for my man! There's a long pier you can walk out on to fish, and we usually catch red drum, hardhead catfish, and sometimes even crabs. Most of the time the fish are too small to keep, so we throw them back, but it's still such a relaxing and enjoyable experience. It's less about what we catch and more about spending time together. I really appreciate the setup. There are picnic tables and chairs where you can sit and hang out, which makes it easy to spend a few hours comfortably. There's a convenience store stocked with fishing gear, a concession stand (which I still need to try!), and even a fried chicken spot nearby if you want something quick to eat. Plus public restrooms, which is always a huge win when you're out all day. They also have a great restaurant and bar, so whether you're there to fish, grab a bite, or just relax by the water, you really have everything in one place. I've been here more times than I can count, and it's always part of our plans when we head to SPI. It's just the best place to go. Keep in mind that you have to pay for every fishing pole that you bring in. You also have to pay to be a spectator.

This restaurant has a large menu with daily specials. We tried the Southwest Chicken Sandwich with waffle fries because it was a daily special. It's good, but I prefer the fried Chicken Breast Samich. The chicken and ham on the Southwest Chicken Sandwich is skewered with long wooden picks which I learned was to keep the food in place.The large slice of chicken with the ham kept sliding off the bun. It does have a nice salsa dressing. The Chicken Breast Samich includes crispy fresh lettuce, a large slice of tomato and pickles on a toasted bun with waffle fries. Very tasty. My dining companion had the fried red fish with waffle fries. This is a large portion of friend red fish. Also very tasty. We had A a very friendly waiter both times that we were there. This is a very large restaurant with a lot of people coming and going. Live music is provided every day from 3pm to 6pm. A nice selection of cocktails. I recommend the Key Lime Pina colada. I was very pleased to see that the restaurant allowed a man to sit in the outside area with his dog. It was a cold windy day and I worried about them sitting in that wind. The manager allowed the man and his k9 companion to dine inside the restaurant. They sat on the north side away from most diners, but I congratulate the manager for allowing a customer to be comfortable while enjoying the food. His dogfriend was a charmer. It gave me a smile and I will always remember that the restaurant treated a customer with respect.
