For a fairly new SB restaurant, we were surprised how attentive they were and how great the food…read moretasted! My mom and I were craving seafood without having to go too far so we found this gem! Right by the resaca! The ambiance is nice, with well lit place by natural light from the many windows, music is at a good volume without being overwhelmingly loud, and the food portions were huge! We ordered the fried shrimp and for the amount of food we got, it was such a great deal! I've seen their Facebook and Instagram posts and they have great specials certain days of the week! Our waitress was a sweetheart, we really enjoyed the service, food, and prices! Will definitely return!

My party suggested this place and talked about how delicious and fresh, boy were they right. I had the oysters and tostadas de ceviche. Super yummy I couldn't stop eating them. Everyone in my group raved about the food even the little soup they serve before the food arrived is savory. I tasted a few of the other entrée from my group and I loved it all. Our server Cristo gave us a very friendly warm experience. She was good always attentive. The music is playing the staff sings happy birthday in unison. Quite a show. Bathroom squeaky clean smelled good. I mean that would have ruined it for me but no.

Hopefully this will become my go to sea food restaurant. Uploading photos soon !! Happy Eating

I was hungry for a fresh fish fillet & went there for lunch…read more I asked the server what was fresh. She went to the kitchen, came back & named of all the fish they have. A non-answer. I should have left then but I was there...so..I ordered the Red Snapper. I eat a lot of fish, & the fillet was half the size of snapper anywhere else, ($17.99?) t seemed fresh enough, but was way over cooked and tough. I'd still eat here if I'm craving fried, but will go elsewhere for grilled.

For panchos it's $16.99. Basically the same thing with less rice and beans. I'm not sure we will order this again.

We did have to wait a few minutes to be seated, and weren't sure why we weren't given menus. But we saw signs indicating to order at the back counter. We went to the counter, took a menu and came back to our party to decide what we would order. You place your order, give your table number and they bring your food. The food took about 10-15 minutes to come out, but it was warm and delicious. My husband got the blacked mahi sandwich, I got the Iron Skillet Shrimp (pictured) and a Turbo Pelican Colada. Everything was delicious! The iron skillet came with 8 huge shrimp and I opted for garlic butter, which gave a dipping sauce. The fries were HUGE! Our kids loved the fries, burger and hot dogs that they ordered. The drink I ordered was strong and tasty, the toasted coconut was the icing on the cake. The drink came with a beautiful drink decoration, which my kids found cool to play with. We would visit again and plan on it.

It has become one of our favorite places to eat on South Padre Island. One of my favorite things is how genuinely pet-friendly they are. They even have a dog menu, so our dachshund, PeeWee, gets to enjoy lunch with us too. It's refreshing to find a restaurant that truly welcomes the whole family, including four-legged family members. After watching the KRGV Take 5 segment, I loved learning that the new owners were the cooks before taking over the restaurant. You can absolutely tell they know what they're doing. The quality of the food, the consistency, and the atmosphere have all been elevated under the new ownership while still keeping the laid-back island vibe. If you're looking for great food, excellent service, reasonable prices, and a place where everyone--including your dog--is welcome, Mahi Nic is the place to go. We'll definitely be back again and again with PeeWee and the rest of our family and friends. Highly recommend!
