This review is only for the restaurant. I went in to Fish King on the highway connecting…read moreBrownsville to Port Isabel to get some lunch, already having found it several years prior. The restaurant is much the same and the service was equally friendly. From among the choices that day, I opted for a menu item named seafood Florentina and would be eating inside the small but tidy restaurant. The platter was good, with the main ingredient - the fish - being tasty. The portion sizes were good and the accompanying salad and broth were appreciated. The presentation just didn't look like any other Florentine dish I've had. It was sort of "busy," with other ingredients I've not seen in Florentine presentations in the U.S. I think it's something they can revisit if they choose to. Note that this is a strong 3 stars for Fish King in Brownsville and it's for the restaurant. Note that it's much easier to approach this restaurant from Brownsville, traveling eastbound, so you can make a right turn between its entry pilasters to its parking lot. With all the business they do and loyal customer base, it's fairly obvious that the fish market itself delivers.

The owner gave fantastic recommendations & couldn't be happier Brownsville has a legitimate authentic Mexican seafood restaurant that hasn't been watered down trying to please the masses. Had their chelada: mineral water, abundance of lime juice & salt with an ice cold Pacifico that paired perfectly with dinner. Everything we had was so good, but what left an impression on me were the scallops. They were cured in lime juice and the flavor of the juices that it was soaked in makes my mouth water every time I reminisce on them. You can't go wrong with the sautéed crab fingers as well. Can not wait to come back.

Honestly I hope this business does well because I am definitely coming back for more!! Our server was Roberto and he was very attentive and constantly coming over to check on us. My boyfriend and I are young so we usually get bad service but Roberto was awesome! To start they give you a consume of sopa de mariscos and it was deliciousssss. Honestly it was so good I wanted an entire bowl but unfortunately that's not offered on the menu (I asked ) but I am writing this review in hopes that the owners take it into consideration to add it to the menu!! My boyfriend and I shared a Vuelve a la Vida and an order of fried shrimp. This was the perfect hangover cure and I'll definitely be back anytime I'm craving fried shrimp because that was the best I've ever had. The music was perfect for the space and not loud at all. We loved the art they had on the wall and just the overall vibes inside. 10/10

So she asked if I wanted another glass and said loudly I wanted another glass but the one she used was only cracked as if that wasn't a good enough excuse. Got me another one but just had it packed up to go , lost my appetite, seems like there's always an ending to what was a good eating spot. Oh well .then they start putting up chairs early and I was waiting on my partner to pay and waitress says "your finished right so I can sit these people down ? I was like if only you could have seated us down on a clean table when we came in I wouldn't have had an issue with hurrying up to move for people who just came in. Why not put chairs back down they don't close for another hour. Do NOT recommend.
