    Migas Breakfast Tacos and Pancakes
    Suha K.

    So good I had to go twice. The staff is very friendly, making Linda's feel extra homey. Even though I was impressed with my dine in experience, I was blown away by my togo experience! The breakfast tacos are a MUST and surprisingly so are the pancakes. I would definitely come here again the next time I'm in town.

    Breakfast tacos...

    I been here a couple of times and I have no complaints. Food is well done and taste just as good. Tortillas are homemade as well as the food. Staff are friendly and the place is well kept. Days where it is packed in there which speaks volumes of the food they serve. All in all love coming by here and enjoying some good tasting homemade food...

    Cheese enchiladas with beans

    A Timeless Favorite My family and I have been going to Linda's Mexican Restaurant for over 20 years, and it has never disappointed. Every visit feels like eating in my grandma's kitchen--the food is always authentic, flavorful, and consistent. The flour tortillas are top-notch--thick, flavorful, and leave a slight, satisfying residue on your hands. But my personal favorite is the corn tortillas. Unlike the usual small ones you find elsewhere, these are the same size and weight as the flour, making every bite more satisfying. The pricing is incredibly reasonable. For four plates and drinks, we paid just $47--a great deal considering the quality and portions. Even after moving away from Corpus 10 years ago, Linda's remains a must-visit whenever I'm back home, even if it's just a quick stop at the drive-thru. If you're looking for hot, flavorful, and fast Mexican food at a great price, Linda's is the place to go. Highly recommended!

    Traveling to Corpus Christi for work and it was recommended to check this local Mexican place out for dinner. I have already been twice! This place is fantastic and extremely cheap. This is by no means a fancy Mexican restaurant. It's extremely old and most of the menu items you pick from photos. Each time I have gotten the taco plate that comes with rice and beans. The portions and quality of food have to be the best Mexican I've had in quite some time. If you are in the Corpus area, I'd highly recommend stopping in here for breakfast, lunch or dinner!

    Another great find thanks to Yelp reviews. Ordered the puffy tacos and they were delicious. Brother ordered Carne Asada and he loved, too. His meal came with hand made tortillas and boracho beans that were just as tasty.

    Visiting from San Antonio, we enjoy our lunch. Staff were very friendly and attentive.

    Breakfast taco

    Stopped here for a breakfast taco and I wasn't disappointed. The tortilla was thick soft and chewy with a generous amount of soft scrambled eggs and beans. The fresh green salsa was 2/10 spicy but flavorful and I need the 2 they gave me to balance the amount of filling.

    Guisada y juevos y papas..homemade tortillas..all delicious, hot & fresh food.

    Our bellies were happy when we left! Their portion sizes are big & it's reasonably priced! Gem of a spot

    Wonderfully authentic Mexican food! First time trying cactus, surprisingly good. We order chicken fajitas and enchiladas both good portion sizes and absolutely delicious. Also ordered their pancakes, best ones so far!

    Let me start off by saying I was super upset that there was no one here on a Sat from 8-9:30pm. The…read moreplace is gorgeous on the inside and is perfect for date night, girls night out, or a family dinner. The restaurant is located in the art gallery building and there is parking located at the building. I really wanted the Bloody Mary shooter but was told that they don't sell it on its own and that it comes with the order of crab crake. But my server was amazing and made it happen. We started off with the drum nachos. That was the of the show. We enjoyed it so much. The drum was cooked to perfection and the lettuce with the cheese and the crema were delicious. We ate everything. The oysters weren't anything special. They were still attacked to the bottom of the shell so I had to attach them. The watermelon sauce they have to put on them is super good. Our next favorite thing was the red snapper. I had seen pictures on yelp and it looked blackened. When we ordered we weren't asked if we wanted blackened or fried. It came out fried which was ok but I was expecting blackened. It was still really good a tasty and we finished it all. We did order the three cheese cavatappi and that was a miss for use. We thought it was going to be creamy and it wasn't. It got hard really quick so that is something we will not be getting again. Then we ordered the shrimp 41 sandwich. Basically a shrimp po'boy. They only suggestion I would have for this is to ad more of the sauce to the sandwich and offer a side of tartar sauce to dip. We got the fries that can with tajin which tasted good but next time I would say easy on the tajin. For desert we got the bourbon glazed bread pudding. It was fantastic. Based on the yelp pictures we saw it was paired with Ice cream so we thought that's the way it came. So just letting everyone know it doesn't come with Ice cream. I was a fantastic dessert through. ww will be ordering that again when we stop by. I also ordered the lavender haze as my drink and it its presentation is beautiful and it tasted really good. It wasn't overly sweet. Overall we loved the restaurant. Everyone needs to try them out.

Beautiful from the moment you step into the museum foyer to get to the restaurant itself. Lovely view of the harbor with all the boats.

She got the kids orders first while I enjoyed a cocktail. I believe it was called Lavender Haze and was very refreshing. The bacon wrapped shrimp was amazing with the cream cheese. I will never think of creamed spinach the same. This side was prepared with fresh spinach and was not overcooked, very nice! You can sit outside as well. We loved everything about Gallery 41!

You can tell that the chef(s) pour their heart into eat dish prepared. My mother in law and I both ordered salads and my wife ordered the snapper tacos and we all ate every single bite! The ambiance is great for a casual family meal and there is also a bar area as well. My only suggestion is for the restaurant to please oh please put a bit into upgrading the bathrooms. It really is a disservice to the customers and experience when some of the stalls don't close and the toilets are literally falling apart and closed with plastic instead of the normal parts they should be. However, we will be back and recommend it to others for a great casual meal with excellent food, good service and reasonable prices!

I got the medium spice with lemon pepper, but was disappointed because they just topped the wings with lemon pepper. They didn't throw them together to where they mix. Then the other one I got teriyaki and it seems like they're just fried balloons through teriyaki sauce on them mix or cook them. We went when it was still happy hour pay three dollars for beer, which was a good buy I didn't realize it was the price of extra celery was 3.99 and that was more expensive than the french fries. They have a saying that they're the best wings in town, but I don't think so. The waitress was really nice and the manager actually turned the table touched which a lot of restaurant managers don't do anymore. I would avoid sitting in a booth because they are very uncomfortable. It's a cool place to watch sports and stuff, but I gotta be doing something right if it's always busy, but I would just avoid the wings in my opinion Would I go back again, yes but not for the wings.
