Read before you go here. First time here and breakfast…read moretacos sounded great! Service was odd. Can't say it was great but we got everything we ordered. The lady at the front is pretty rude. They sat us at the far corner of the restaurant by the window and it was very hot there. It was so hot in there I was sweating a bit. The food itself is ok. 2/5. The hot sauce was the only thing I really liked. Also didn't realize the tacos are almost $20 each. I'm ok with paying good money for food but these aren't worth what they charge. And the prices aren't on the menu for a reason. More disappointed than anything with the whole experience. Definitely will not return here.

We went to Mahi Nic's on a rainy day. All seating is outside, most is under a tent, while others…read moreare only under umbrellas. 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.

We had another fantastic experience at Mahi Nic! The food is consistently delicious, the prices are…read morevery reasonable, and the service is always friendly, attentive, and welcoming. 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!

Definitely recommend this place for breakfast and we will definitely be back for lunch ti try their lunch burritos as well. They look great.

The order took 25 minutes because the kitchen was so busy. While waiting, I observed several locals coming in to eat, being greeted by the family who owns the restaurant. That was a good sign that the wait was worth it. The food was great, even on the road. Tortillas were perfect, not too heavy, but held the ingredients well. We opted for a few small tacos and a few large. Small is still BIG!! Barbacoa was delicious. The cheese used was more Velvetta like, but still not overwhelming or too rich. We will be back, hopefully to sit down and eat there.
