Shrimp stuffed Jalapeño (2): they were huge and tasted really good. 2. Fried Mushrooms: they were nicely friend with grated Parmesan on top. 3. Popcorn shrimp: this is like any popcorn shrimp you have had at any restaurant. It was good. Then ordered a stuffed crab. (My mom had this and it's her favorite app. Finally we ordered oysters Rockefeller which are always great. For our main meals: Two of us (including myself) had the Red Snapper Rockefeller which was the best thing I've had in a while. There three cheese sauce is something out of this world. The other two individuals had the Kings Stuffed Flounder. They both very much enjoyed it and it came with the same three cheese sauce as well. The fried potatoes were nice and crispy and paired well with the three cheese sauce. The corn was perfectly seasoned. Can't wait to go back again.

If you're in the McAllen area and craving fresh, flavorful seafood, Krab Kings is an absolute…read moremust-visit! From the moment we walked in, the entire experience was impressive. Food: The seafood was incredibly fresh, seasoned perfectly, and packed with bold flavor. Every bite tasted like it was prepared with care. The sauces were rich without overpowering the natural flavor of the seafood, and the portions were generous. You definitely leave satisfied. Pro tip: I highly recommend ordering bottled water with your meal -- it pairs perfectly with the seasoning and keeps everything balanced while you enjoy the full flavor experience. Service: Ruby was friendly, attentive, and genuinely welcoming. Our server checked on us consistently without being intrusive, and everything came out quickly and hot. Great customer service. Thanks Ruby! Ambiance: The atmosphere is lively, clean, and comfortable. It has that fun seafood-boil energy while still being relaxed enough to enjoy good conversation. It's a great spot for family dinners, friends' night out, or even a casual date night. Overall, Krab Kings delivers on flavor, service, and vibe. We'll definitely be back!

**UPDATE FILED A COMPLAINT WITH BBB AND ATTORNEY GENERAL**…read more First time visiting and honestly the food was GOOD, but the service on our table was a disaster. We had a group of 6 and specifically pointed out the exact platters we wanted directly on the menu to our waiter multiple times. Somehow the order was still entered completely wrong. What was supposed to be around $241.31 before taxes, fees, and gratuity somehow turned into over $400 worth of food. When the food came out, it immediately looked excessive and not what we ordered, but since it was our first time there we weren't totally sure at first. We got the manager involved, and I think there was some misunderstanding like we were trying to avoid paying the bill entirely, which was never the case. We simply wanted the bill corrected closer to what we originally ordered. To their credit, they did work with us and got it down to $338. Again, the food itself was really good, but the wait staff seriously needs more training before handling larger tables because this was way more stressful and expensive than it should've been.

Tienen especiales en la hora de lonche y su consomé esta lleno de trozos de pescado y camarones. Eso si, cuidado con la salsita de habanero que esa sí que pica. El servicio siempre ha sido excelente y si tienes suerte hasta hay mariachi en los fines de semana. Así que si te gustan los mariscos, ven y disfruta de un cóctel de camarones o unos filetes de pescado. No te vas a arrepentir. Y no te olvides de probar su limonada con pepino! Posdata: El domingo pasado mis padres fueron a disfrutar de unos especiales de lonche. Mi mamá, como siempre, no se acabó los 3 filetes que vienen con la orden pues se llenó con el caldo. Pidió una cajita para llevárselos pero se le olvidó llevársela y la dejó sobre la mesa. En rumbo a casa se dieron cuenta y regresaron al restaurante. Mi papá se bajó a preguntar por la caja y la mesera le informó que la acababa de tirar a la basura. Entendemos que no pueden guardar comida por horas, pero ellos regresaron en cuanto se dieron cuenta en el camino a casa (tampoco vivimos lejos de allí). Solamente lo incluyó como una sugerencia que por favor esperen un poquito antes de botar a la basura un contenedor para llevar por si el cliente regresa por la comida que ya pagó. Gracias.

The others that ordered off the menu under something fried received their order way before us. They were done eating before we got our food. Bar now opens only means you can order beer.

A Hidden Gem for Mexican Seafood -- Don't Sleep on This Place!…read more As a traveler from California in town for a swim meet, I was on the hunt for good Mexican seafood and stumbled upon La Costa Grill. Based on the reviews, I had decent expectations -- but this place blew them out of the water. The ratings honestly don't do it justice. From the moment we walked in, the hospitality was warm and genuine. We were greeted by the hostess and seated right away, even during the lunch rush. Then came a wonderful surprise: our server brought out a mini skillet of the most incredible black refried beans for dipping, alongside four salsas ranging from mild to hot, all served with tostadas -- compliments of the house. Back in California, you're lucky to get one salsa, let alone refried beans as a free starter. It immediately set the tone for the meal. Our server was knowledgeable and genuinely helpful with recommendations. We ended up sharing a lunch portion of paella, an octopus taco, and a fish ceviche tostada -- and every single dish delivered. The octopus taco was a standout; served over a layer of refried beans, it was a flavor combination I didn't know I needed. The ceviche tostada was fresh and bright, and the paella was satisfying and well-seasoned. I also have to give our server extra credit for her transparency -- she mentioned upfront that the paella leans heavier on rice than seafood. That kind of honesty is rare and really appreciated. We ordered it anyway, and we were glad we did. If you're visiting McAllen and want authentic, flavorful Mexican seafood with outstanding service and hospitality, La Costa Grill needs to be on your list. I'll absolutely be returning before I head back home.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​
