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!

We ordered online and picked up the food so there isn't much I can say about the service, ambiance,…read moreor restaurant experience. 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.

I have been here in south padre a few days now and the places people have been telling us to go to…read moreeat have been very mediocre..however after reading the reviews on Mahi Nics I knew we had to try it out. This is my kind of place, chill vibe at the marina, looking at beautiful boats on the water. The food was outstanding! we had blackened shrimp tacos and blackened mahi tacos with a side of chips and pico, (all freshly made) and 2 frozen drinks that tasted like dessert. EVERYTHING WAS AMAZING!!! And I am not exaggerating, it has been the best food I have had since I landed here. Do yourself a favor and get out of the crappy strip mall restaurants and give this place a go. It feels like you are on vacation and it won't break the bank either...very reasonably priced for the amount of food you receive and the quality of the food. I wish I took photos but I was so hungry when I arrived and kind of forgot.. highly recommend!

The service was quick, although they did forget my burger initially. However, it didn't take long…read morefor them to bring it out. The restaurant was mostly clean, but it was extremely hot and stuffy inside. It took a moment to acclimate to the temperature--especially in South Texas during July, where you would expect to feel the air conditioning as soon as you walk in. The staff worked efficiently, but I could hear everything they said, and I mean everything. Additionally, there was a door that slammed shut every time a staff member used it, which was a bit distracting.

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. We love this place and the staff is great!!!

It's not much to look at, small, simple, not a whole lot of improvements over the years. But, they did have plastic flaps that dropped down on the outside of the place to keep the wind and cold weather out, heaters provided too! Service by Aaron was top notch, start to finish! We initially just decided to stay to a drink and move on ... but as we sat there and looked at the menu, sipped our drinks, we saw other food coming out of the kitchen! It looked GREAT! We ordered the crispy oyster tapas (fried oysters on homemade potato chips with mango pico). They came out quickly and were oh so tasty! We were convinced! Time for dinner! We ordered a rueben sandwich (with homemade parmesan potato chips) and the snapper veracruz (tomato, onion, olives, capers) with grilled zucchini. The sandwich was da bomb ... piled high corned beef, kraut and dressing, pickles on the side. The snapper dish is one we make at home, and this one was darn good! So, glad we stayed! This place puts to shame some of the other "fancy" places on SPI! "Don't judge a book by its cover" rings true here! Highly recommend you try the Cafe! We'll be back for sure ...

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...

We pushed our request and the manager came over and finally agreed to giving us 1fried and 2 blackened fish tacos. It was a build your own taco which was nice.

Will go back for that one, need the recipe. Sunset was amazing! 4 stars for the drink, sunset and them accommodating our request, but we shouldn't of had to ask "the manager".
