My family's new chill spot! It's very laid back and to it's self. We went during the day but you can tell it's a night spot when you drive by in the evening. It's very clean and the staff is very friendly. Very patient because when my husband & I go to a new place we get super indecisive & even up ordering extra. We tried the ceviche, fish tacos, mexican burger & drinks. All was very, very good, the only bad thing was they were out of like 2 of their fountain drinks but eh. Lol didn't really miss it.
So we decided to try the weekend buffet today for the first time. The ambience is casual and pretty much quiet. Not at all busy. The setup is good but the food is not hot temperature wise and nobody is going around mixing things up. The pozole is just ok, needs flavor and less fat because it's greasy and gets cold quickly. The shrimp rice is tasty but again mildly warm not hot. The fish flautas were brought out as we arrived and were hot. The ceviche was not even put into a container to keep it cold. The fish dishes looked dried out but did taste good. No fried shrimp, cold French fries and fish. The owner was there as well as one waitress who hardly came by to check on us. For desserts they had watermelon. No Mexican bread, churros or anything else which they previously had on the buffet. Watermelon was good though. Thank God I had my Tajín with me. I'm not sure if I'd come back for the buffet even though their prices were good. I'll have to think about the next time. Nice place though, quite and calm. Nice place for a party and very reasonable.
Fantastic! All I can say is fantastic. Honestly, some of the best food we've had in many a month. Shrimp tacos were packed full of plump, jumbo shrimp. Margaritas ice cold and refreshing. Light, like aqua fresca with a shot of tequila. Our server, Cecelia, was top notch. Her recommendations were on point. Ceviche was fresh, firm, delicious. Sopes crisp and tangy. Great evening on the patio with a cool breeze blowing. Thank you, La Panga. We'll be back.
Second time here and the food was very delicious!! Last time I came it was nice and quiet. This time, it was too loud with a DJ. We moved inside just to hear ourselves talk and it was still too loud. But overall, the food is worth it.
Don't get the nachos or fried fish.. The mojarra is awesome !!!!! The ceviche was delicious and Aguachiles ... No where to change the baby I had to change her on the floor
Came for Sunday brunch which also happened to be Mothers' Day brunch. We ate well and left happy. Coastal Mexican cuisine is the game with plenty of seafood options on offer. Plenty of fresh and bright ceviches were the star of the meal. But if you prefer cooked options there's plenty of grilled fish and fried seafood offerings plus sides like salads and grilled corn. The buffet comes with a choice of agua fresca too. Some cakes and fruit to round off the meal with something sweet but it's the seafood that's the star. Limited English but the staff are friendly. Bright space with a tropical feel. We came early and missed the post-church lunch rush.
Exceptional food and even better service. My fiance and I went to this establishment because of the close proximity to our home. Plus we constantly heard the music, so we had to see what is was about. First off, the staff was incredibly friendly and welcoming. Answering all our questions professional and welcoming. Second, the food was great. Fresh seafood and fresh produce. Nothing better than that. This is a family owned establishment who clearly cares for its clientele and employees. If you have a chance, try this place!
Went here last night to have dinner with the family, party of 7. The outside looked nice, it was surrounded by lots of lush. When we entered, I noticed it was mostly empty. We were greeted by a friendly waitress. Pros: 1. Received a complimentary cup of seafood broth. Delicious. 2. Friendly waitress. 3. Ambiance 4. Aguachiles & fish dishes were delicious Cons: 1. Food took long to come out even though there were a few tables occupied (3 tables occupied but were already served) 2. Ceviche was not your typical limed ceviche 3. Large cockroach was seen near the bar area 4. Overpriced We were excited about this place especially after we learned about the Sunday buffet but we were really disgusted when we saw the roach inside the restaurant. We will not be coming here again.
Let's talk breakfast buffet. At about $10 a person - you just cat beat this! They also have plate ordering off the menu with prices $6-9. Extremely authentic Mexican food. The menudo is a festival of flavor, there are several egg / chilaquiles / potato options. A wonderfully warm and sweet Mexican lady is set up next to the buffet line making homemade tortillas de harina and maíz. She also will whip up made to order omelettes. Additionally, you can order tacos with whatever you want and they are made just for you. Don't get me started on the cafe de olla that stirred up pleasant childhood memories of time spent in Mexico. This place has it all- warm, welcoming, authentic, fresh, clean ... and for $10!
20 dollars for sunday buffet and it was well worth it cause everything on the buffet was so good. the quality of the food was great and everything was fresh. The drinks and dessert where awesome. I reccomend trying the coconut cake dessert it was amazing Great service
Brought in for the stellar priced happy hour and left with a huge portion of ceviche. This place is a northern Mexican seafood restaurant. Their entire menu is hard to choose from. To start you are welcomed with a nice patio area chips and pretty spicy salsa. A nice seafood soup accompanies your entree which i consider a good touch. I opted for the fresh seafood mixed ceviche and was not disappointed. The panga that my fiend good was equally fresh and delicious. The oysters were some of the freshest I've had on this side of town. All around I liked the atmosphere and the fresh quality of seafood. No creative dishes here just good old classics.
I was in the area to fix my tires, and this restaurant was next door. We came to eat as we waited. This place is very spacious with plenty of parking. Lots of seating inside and outside. I didn't realize until we left that this is sea themed as they have a lot of seafood in the menu. Food: The chips and salsa were ok. The green sauce was spicy which I liked. But the chips were pretty stale. My soda was also flat. They have Pretty good customer service. Checked on us when needed. Again, if you love to eat spicy, The green sauce and pepper were spicy, which we love. The birria was really yummy but they did not give enough consume. And you can't go wrong with the beef street tacos. Definitely worth a try if you're in the area read more

Food is very fresh the seafood has a lot of taste. We had the tray that comes with a lot of food for 2 people and it was delicious and very filling. The fish tacos are so tasty. They have DJ, Karaoke and a live performer on Friday night. I didn't go to that. But the waitress said that it gets very good and that it's a lot of fun. She was also super friendly and very helpful to give us suggestions on the food. Food came out fast. The whole restaurant is very clean. The price is incredible it's the best price we have ever paid for seafood. They have excellent prices. I really recommend this place if you're looking for fresh Mexican style seafood. read more

We had a wonderful time, this place was such a delight. Enjoyed a buffet, now don't expect a huge selection of buffet, like when you go to eat Chinese buffet and they have 20 thousand items to choose from. It's small, but you have everything you need, from your meats, soups, drinks, ceviche, fruits, pan dulce, cookies, salad bar, and also a little set up were they prepare your tacos in front of you. The place has a nice atmosphere, with wooden walls and high ceilings. Outdoor sitting area looks so relaxing. Definitely coming back for more. The staff was great. The buffet price was $20 per adult on the weekend. read more

La Panga Coastal Cuisine is a pleasant surprise. A converted fifty or so year old house on Highway 3, it sits hidden under several trees next to a nondescript car wash. La Panga has a beautifully quaint exterior, including a large front porch perfectly suited for times other than Houston's 4-5 months of perpetual summers. The review below applies only to La Panga's Sunday brunch. Official posted hours say La Panga opens at 11 AM on Sundays but arriving around 11:10, I found the front porch still being mopped and the buffet brunch spread only partially ready. By 11:30, the staff had nearly everything ready. The interior of La Panga is evidence of an older home which has been converted for restaurant use. High ceilings, exposed beams, wood paneled walls and quaintly creaky wood floors. Fortunately no screaming babies or small groups of raucous children were running amok to test out the high ceiling acoustics. La Panga's brunch buffet spread is small but impressive. Skip the nondescript salad bar and go for the good stuff, starting with an offering of fresh fruit slices (cantaloupe and watermelon), soup and ceviche. Better yet, save the fruit for dessert. Main course selections included a slightly over salted but tasty baked fish (tilapia?), chicken mole, plus a huge platter of batter coated fried fish, chicken nuggets (!), french fries and fried shrimp. Equally as good is a large paella style pan of almost gumbo style seafood and rice. Yes, it's as good as it looks. Nearby is a grill for custom fajitas and soft tacos. Nothing is fancy but everything is both filling and good. Surprisingly one offering which is a standard of all Southern restaurants, iced tea, isn't offered at La Panga. La Panga serves Mexican drinks and huge glasses of soda pop. The best surprise of all is the soda drinks are included in the $20 buffet. No extra $2.50-$3.50 charge to pad the tab. Signs around the restaurant advertise a $10 weekday lunch buffet. Service is fast and attentive. La Panga is a bit slow in restocking its platter of fried fish and shrimp but there are plenty of other choices while waiting. As a seafood restaurant, one thing I noticed online is La Panga advertises octopus as one of its offerings. Unfortunately I didn't see any octopus on the Sunday buffet tables. Overall La Panga is not only a nice discovery but also a reasonable alternative to other both lower and higher end Sunday lunch buffets. I can't wait for the cooler months to try out their front porch. Easily 4.0 to 4.5 out of 5 stars. read more

Stopped here a few months ago when they first opened (they had only been open five days), and tore it up! This place is awesome. We were in the mood for some seafood and saw a sign that said "Coastal Mexican Cuisine", so we thought "Hey, why not?". Had the ceviche and it was loaded with fish, shrimp, scallops, and squid. Hands down best ceviche I've ever had. No BS! We had the special, which we were told was redfish, but didn't look like any redfish I've ever seen. But you know what? It didn't freaking matter, because it was one of the best fish I'd eaten in my life. Staff was very, very nice and extremely accommodating. The chef/owner came out and shook our hands, and we could tell that he loves what he does. Will definitely be back, no doubt. read more

This place is seriously a hidden gem!! Seriously! When we first arrived, we were greeted at the door and we asked to sit outside (it's rare to have a nice cool day in Houston). We sat down, the waiter placed the chips and salsa and holy bologna, the salsa was freaking good! I knew that once I tasted their salsa, their food was going to be just as good if not better. I then ordered an agua de sandia and damn! I haven't had one this good since I was in Mexico. My wife ordered the fried shrimp and I ordered al limon fish. Both dishes were above and beyond my expectations. I will be coming back to this place every two weeks! read more

This was my first time here. It's a small place but well put together. I started with a ceviche de pescado tostada. It was pretty good but would have been better without the sauce they put on it. I the ordered the Camarons Diablo. They were delicious! If you haven't tried Mexican seafood make sure you stop in here. You will enjoy it. This appears to be a mom and pop shop and would fit in perfect in a Mexico seaside town. read more

So far best seafood restaurant I have been to. This place is so much better than the other local seafood places. From the moment you walk in the staff greets you and seats you promptly. The variety of fresh homemade "aguas" is definitely a plus. On the day of my visit they had pineapple, watermelon, guava, and lemonade. I had the pineapple which was very good. As other reviewers have mentioned you get a free consume which has a great flavor. The seasoning is really there. I will certainly be returning to this establishment. Keep up the good work. read more

My first time here, so far enjoying fried calamari and a mariscos soup. The calamari is really fresh and the soup is loaded with fresh seafood. I am looking forward to my next visit and try a different plate. FYI they also have a buffet with really tasty looking foods. read more
