We were pleasantly surprised once we entered and felt like if the food was average, at least the establishment was nice. We ordered and when we got our bowls, we were impressed by the presentation and amount of actual tuna in the bowl.

My aunt ordered enchiladas and she was so happy and satisfied with her meal! She ate the entire plate. Their chips are delicious and they have really good seasoning on them. If you order water to drink they bring out a water bottle and charge you for it. The establishment is clean, in the hotel continental breakfast area (but it opens after that time), and the music is a little random. It's YouTube music videos on a giant tv with ads. Unfortunately, my aguachiles were lukewarm so they tasted slimy and had a kitchen aftertaste. I couldn't even eat them. The server came out and told us they make everything to order and as soon as I ordered them they put them to cook in lemon because everything is fresh. I think if they had served them cold maybe they would've tasted better but I felt like i was gonna get sick if I ate them. Also, I ordered them spicy and they tasted like they had no flavor on them. I asked if they could bring me the sauce to make them spicier (and edible) but it didn't add any spice. I gave up and decided to just leave them. The lady asked if I wanted to order something else but I had lost my appetite. I'm not sure if I'd be back but they have such a big menu.

You can either create a custom order with one meat/combo and 4 sides (Price: $10.99+) or order one of their signature combos.

It was fresh, packed with shrimp, lime, cilantro, cucumber, red onions, and avocado. The service was also great. Everyone was friendly, welcoming, and happy to answer questions. Overall, this was some of the best ceviche we had during our stay, and honestly, it might be the best ceviche in town. If you're looking for something fresh, light, and flavorful while in South Padre, this place is definitely worth a stop.

We went to Mahi Nic's on a rainy day. All seating is outside, most is under a tent, while others…read moreare only under umbrellas. 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!

So the owners son was running around all over the place and came up to our table to offer my Son cookies. I kindly told the boy no thank you and hand him his cookies back. Shortly after that the owner walks up to me shouting "don't f#@cking touch my son!" After telling him, "I didn't touch your son I just gave him his cookies back" he then threatened to get into a physical altercation with me repeatedly saying, "You wanna go outside or what?" As I mentioned the food is definitely not worth the price and the ownership needs serious improvement on their customer service.

We had two ceviches (a regular and a large) and a shrimp taco plate (sorry, no pic!). The shrimp taco plate dinner came with three tacos along with rice and beans. I ate the rice, but the beans were cooked with a lot of pork, so the beau ate 'em. They have daily specials, oysters on the half shell, aguas frescas. My only "complaint" was the loud TV. The restaurant isn't that big and the TV was blasting music videos. But maybe I'm just old. :/

We started with an order of calamari and a few drinks, including a mojito and piña coladas. For our meals, we ordered shrimp along with fish and shrimp baskets . The food was actually really good and could have made for a great dining experience. She also forgot the appetizer and did not seem to care. Unfortunately, the service completely changed our impression of the restaurant. From the very beginning, our server had an attitude, and everyone at the table noticed it. Whenever we asked a question or needed something, her responses came across as sarcastic and unfriendly. To make matters worse, two of us ordered meals to go for people who couldn't make it. When the checks were brought out, the server had already added a 20% tip to the bills, including the two to-go orders. That was especially disappointing and left a very bad impression. This could have been a great experience because the food was good, but the service and handling of the bill really ruined it for us. Unfortunately, we will not be returning and cannot recommend Recotto Grill based on our experience.
