Smoked Boudain balls
Valencia H.

Ducked off down a random storage lot. Well worth the drive. Stopped here on our way back from Galveston. The reviews didn't lie the burgers are good even though this is a seafood spot. The fish is fried to perfection nice and crispy but still moist and flaky. They have the best hush puppies . One of the specials were the smoked boudain balls with jalapeño cheese. Will definitely be back when it warms up.

I asked our table for an honest review and my picky granddaughter yelled 4.5 stars. The food was really good. The resteraunt is a true local dive and a must visit. The location is off the main path a little, but we really recommend if your in town come and give it a try!!

Fish poboy

Was out fishing at Texas city dike and stopped by to have lunch and ordered a fish poboy . First time trying this place and it didn't disappoint. Very cool location by the water . Will definitely be back again. Clean restaurant and friendly service.

We went there at noon and ordered the lunch set meal for US$32 (excluding tax). You can also add other drinks or other items by yourself. It

Best fish and chips I've tried locally. The service was excellent and the owner ame over to introduce herself after we finished our meal. The atmosphere was inviting and the place (even restrooms) clean. We will be going back! The service was nice, polite and very fast. Food was great.. a great hole in the wall fishermen hang out. My beautiful mother brought my sister and me here for lunch over Spring Break. She and my brother raved about this place. We tried to visit on a Sunday but it was packed. We tried again on Tuesday (they are closed on Monday), scored a table, and ordered with no wait.

Oh Mylanta.. So Damn Good.

A hidden gem with amazing food and service with a smile. The burgers are off the chain and the homemade onion rings.... O M G .

Probably the best catfish I have ever had. I was so impressed next time I'm down in that area. I will definitely go back.

First the service. It's a family owned business. In a historic building. The food is great…read more Flavorful. Best onion rings I've had are here. I come on Sundays after church with my friends. Yesterday, I had the Rafe's club it's a BLT with egg. You can have it with home fries, or french fries or hash browns. The huevos rancheros are delicious; the Berries and cream in Brioche bread is just so pretty, you don't want to cut it. The Quickie includes 1/2 a sandwich and the soup of the day. It's large enough if you're holding a meeting. I totally recommend this.

This review is for the breakfast. I would definitely go back for lunch or dinner if I lived closer…read more First of all, I take one star off because the coffee was really bad but that's almost to be expected when you eat at a Mexican restaurant for breakfast. I go to breakfast plate at a Mexican restaurant is always going to be where was rancheros. I liked that they added some Chilaquiles to the plate (tortilla triangles, doused in salsa and cheese). The eggs were perfect done over easy and did not have those crispy overcooked edges. Also got refried beans. The serving was a good size. They gave us plenty of tortillas which was nice. My spouse ordered one of the omelettes and it was very a large and he said it was delicious! Definitely would put this on my breakfast rotation but not for the coffee!

First time here. Found it in Yelp as we were driving back from Galveston. Looks small from the…read moreoutside but the inside has lots of space. They also have outdoor patio seating. Our server was very friendly. She gave us extra time to look over the menu and kept our glasses full. We got the Grilled Chicken Sandwich and Fish Tacos. Both really good choices. Cooked and seasoned perfectly. The Sandwich came with French Fries and the tacos came with rice and beans. If you're in Texas City swing by and try them out. Easy parking plus they have a full bar.

Opened this summer, Mr. Taco is Texas City's newest Mexican eatery. It's located about a block away…read morefrom the fairly busy Palmer Highway, which makes it a little hard to spot. But once you arrive, you're in for a real culinary trip south of the border. ​I dropped in very eager to try one of their taco plates. While the pictures on the restaurant's Facebook page had already piqued my appetite, I wanted to see for myself if they were the real deal. So, for my first meal here, I ordered the Pastor Street Tacos. ​Like at any good Mexican restaurant, my meal began with chips and salsa. It's an unwritten rule of mine that if the complimentary chips and salsa are good, the main dishes will be just as good, if not better. Fortunately, that rule holds true for Mr. Taco. I tried both the red and green salsas, which were truly spicy--a definite plus in my book. ​The tacos arrived after a few minutes. While the menu said they were miniature--there were four in total--they were a perfect portion. Anchored by marinated pork and topped with fresh onions and cilantro on corn tortillas, the tacos were accompanied by a bean-filled consomme and rice. With just one bite, I imagined myself on the streets of Guadalajara or Monterey; the authenticity was simply evident. ​I occasionally dipped the tacos in the consomme, which I could describe as a bit earthy and salty. Overall, the meal was incredibly enjoyable. This dish is a prime candidate for a go-to order on a return visit. ​I was very well taken care of by our waiter, Samuel. The meal's spiciness had me quickly finishing my water, but he kept the glasses coming without me having to ask. ​While working on the meal, I was parked in front of one of the business's massive TVs, which were tuned to the Astros game. That said, I consider Mr. Taco an ideal place to catch a game. It helps that it's open until 10 p.m.--or 2 a.m. on the weekends--though a staff member told me that's assuming they're not having a slow night. ​Price-wise, I'd say the costs are quite fair. My platter was about $13, which would be roughly three dollars more elsewhere.
