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.

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.

We ordered the chicken strips and fries, cheese enchiladas meal, shrimp taquitos, and chicken flautas. Our appetizer was the queso. We also ordered 2 Mexican cokes, 1 Mexican Coke lite, and 1 Diet Pepsi. Every meal was wonderful, delicious, and as ordered. Sam provided top notch service and definitely deserves 5 stars for that alone. We loved our first experience here while visiting SPI. The ambiance was relaxing and inviting.

The eggs, chorizo beans, toast, and even the hash browns came out delicious. Ambiance/atmosphere reminds me of an old school country Mexican food place. Absolutely love it. Wait staff are friendly and personable. Prices are fair. Monday special (2egg, bacon, toast, hash browns, and beans for 6 bucks) is an absolute bargain IMO.

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.

We ordered the small breakfast tacos on flour tortillas, and they were way bigger than expected (always a win!). We had the ham and egg, and the "con todo," and both were seriously delicious--fresh, flavorful, and super satisfying. The place itself is simple and unassuming, but that's part of the charm. What really stood out was the staff--so friendly and welcoming, they made the whole experience even better. Definitely a spot we'll be coming back to!

Everyone was welcoming and attentive, which made the experience even better. One of our favorite parts was taking a quick photo shoot on the boardwalk before our meal. Between the beautiful waterfront views, the stylish atmosphere, and the amazing food and cocktails, the entire evening honestly felt like something straight out of a movie. Whether you're celebrating a special occasion, planning a date night, or just looking for an elevated dining experience on South Padre Island, Viva is absolutely worth the visit. We'll definitely be back!

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. Street corn - 2.5 out of 5, not sure if because we asked for the spicy sauce on the side, could have had more cheese on it. Best thing I had was the Cucumber Martini! 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".

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!

Their chicken fajitas and General TSO chicken are my favorite. I really have not had a bad meal here. Their Cobbfather salad with grilled chicken is an awesome selection if you are trying to eat healthy. The only thing I miss is soup. It would be great to have maybe a soup of the day option 2-3 times a week. For dessert they offer ice cream or cakes, which I believe look like they're from Sam's club, but they are still pretty good. If visiting the beach and trying to find someplace good to eat that is reasonably priced, I would highly recommend stopping here.
