We sat outside, and it took 20 minutes and multiple requests to get a server to our table. Most of our food was delivered barely warm. We ordered the crab cake and grilled crab claws appetizers. Just OK ... Dinner was flounder and red snapper. The fish was good, was as noted served lukewarm. The star of the evening was the salsa, served with the chips ... complimentary! Awesome salsa... simple, sautéed tomatoes, onion and jalapeño... delicious! Plenty of good seafood places in the SPI area, we likely won't be back. Cannot recommend...

We visited the new Los Fresnos locations in search of a new restaurant. It was early on a Friday…read moreevening so there weren't too many people there, so that's good because we didn't have to wait to long for our orders. The ambiance and vibe inside was relaxing and comforting. It's not a big place, it only has a few tables. We ordered iced tea to drink and got some chips and salsa as appetizers. The salsa tasted homemade and not too spicy, which is good. As main entrees, I ordered the quesadillas. The menu has them as either shrimp or chicken quesadillas, but the owner was gracious enough to make them just with cheese, since I don't eat meat. They came with a side of salad and rice. My husband got the fried shrimp and it came with fries and coleslaw. Both dishes tasted fresh and tasty. It is advertised as a seafood restaurant, but their breakfast menu is more extensive, so we might come back to try their breakfast items. Everything we ordered was good, I'm glad we gave this new restaurant a try. The original location was in Port Isabel and have since moved to Los Fresnos. I'm glad they did. We will certainly be back again and recommend it to friends and family.

A trip to Pirate's Landing is basically a must for my partner and me anytime we're in Port Isabel…read more It's his favorite fishing spot, and honestly, it's become one of my favorite little traditions too even though I don't like fishing, I go for my man! There's a long pier you can walk out on to fish, and we usually catch red drum, hardhead catfish, and sometimes even crabs. Most of the time the fish are too small to keep, so we throw them back, but it's still such a relaxing and enjoyable experience. It's less about what we catch and more about spending time together. I really appreciate the setup. There are picnic tables and chairs where you can sit and hang out, which makes it easy to spend a few hours comfortably. There's a convenience store stocked with fishing gear, a concession stand (which I still need to try!), and even a fried chicken spot nearby if you want something quick to eat. Plus public restrooms, which is always a huge win when you're out all day. They also have a great restaurant and bar, so whether you're there to fish, grab a bite, or just relax by the water, you really have everything in one place. I've been here more times than I can count, and it's always part of our plans when we head to SPI. It's just the best place to go. Keep in mind that you have to pay for every fishing pole that you bring in. You also have to pay to be a spectator.

This restaurant has a large menu with daily specials. We tried the Southwest Chicken Sandwich with waffle fries because it was a daily special. It's good, but I prefer the fried Chicken Breast Samich. The chicken and ham on the Southwest Chicken Sandwich is skewered with long wooden picks which I learned was to keep the food in place.The large slice of chicken with the ham kept sliding off the bun. It does have a nice salsa dressing. The Chicken Breast Samich includes crispy fresh lettuce, a large slice of tomato and pickles on a toasted bun with waffle fries. Very tasty. My dining companion had the fried red fish with waffle fries. This is a large portion of friend red fish. Also very tasty. We had A a very friendly waiter both times that we were there. This is a very large restaurant with a lot of people coming and going. Live music is provided every day from 3pm to 6pm. A nice selection of cocktails. I recommend the Key Lime Pina colada. I was very pleased to see that the restaurant allowed a man to sit in the outside area with his dog. It was a cold windy day and I worried about them sitting in that wind. The manager allowed the man and his k9 companion to dine inside the restaurant. They sat on the north side away from most diners, but I congratulate the manager for allowing a customer to be comfortable while enjoying the food. His dogfriend was a charmer. It gave me a smile and I will always remember that the restaurant treated a customer with respect.

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. :/

This is my kind of place, chill vibe at the marina, looking at beautiful boats on the water.

EVERYTHING WAS AMAZING!!! And I am not exaggerating, it has been the best food I have had since I landed here. Do yourself a favor and get out of the crappy strip mall restaurants and give this place a go. It feels like you are on vacation and it won't break the bank either...very reasonably priced for the amount of food you receive and the quality of the food.
