    Langostino's Restaurant has been a seafood lover's destination restaurant, located in the city of…read moreRio Bravo for many years. If you're in the mood to enjoy amazing seafood, elegant dining, along with friendly service, Langostino's Restaurant and bar should be your seafood destination in Cd. Rio Bravo, in beautiful state of Tamaulipas. Please note that this visit actually happened three years ago, and I'm only getting around to posting it just now. I checked with friends in Rio Bravo and Langostino's is alive and well, so this article is current. As you walk into the restaurant, you'll note this is an upscale, elegant restaurant, with a beautiful decor, and friendly staff who are dressed in ties. The staff will welcome and seat you... and your menu will be brought to you immediately, as Langostino's takes pride in their amazing service. On this beautiful Thursday evening, I happened to be enjoying the amazing Mexican seafood cuisine with my friends Jerry and Edna, who happen to live north of the border in the greater McAllen, Texas area. As the name "langostino's" applies - that's "lobster" in Spanish - Langostino's specializes in seafood, and the extensive menu features just about every variety of Mexican seafood that you could imagine. After placing our orders, we were treated to corn tortilla chips, with TWO varities of fresh, in-house made salsa, along with bowls of fish soup as appetizers. Oh yes... what a way to get dinner started! Edna ordered her favorite dish of "Filete Almendrado," which is fried fish fillets, covered with white almond sauce, and a side of white rice. This is not your "typical" Mexican fish fare, as Langostino's Restaurant is a class-act, and this is world-class fare in any country. My friend Jerry and I ordered identical dinners of "Camarones Rellenos Empanizados," which features breaded shrimp, stuffed with cheese, wrapped in bacon, and deep-fried to a golden goodness. Included with the main course are white rice, fries, and a small dinner salad. Where are the refried beans? You're on the east coast of Mexico, and refried beans aren't common as they are on the west coast, or the central portions of the country. On the east coast of Mexico, refried beans are replaced with plain white rice or fries. My friend Jerry Flinn describes Langostino's Restaurant as "affordable elegance" and I would agree with him, as the restaurant is elegant, the service is remarkable, the food is fantastic, and the cost of dining is more than affordable, even by Mexican standards. When you're in the mood for fine dining in Cd. Rio Bravo, with the emphasis on the best seafood you can find, look no further than Langostino's Restaurant. You'll be treated to amazing food, elegant dining, low, low prices, and super-friendly staff. Bring your Spanish... as no English is spoken at Langostino's Restaurant in Cd. Rio Bravo, Tamaulipas, Mexico. 5-star dining in every way!

    Me encantó este lugar, fui el martes a la 1 y ya no habia desayunos (me comi unas enchiladas suizas…read moredeliciosas) y como el servicio tambien fué increible pues no me podia quedar con las ganas de comerme unos chilaquiles asi que regresamos hoy mi hija y yo. De verdad que soy muy "piki" en la comida pero la espera valió la pena. Les recomiendo los chilaquiles El Abuelo Arturo omg deliciosos!!!! El ambiente familiar muy padre, y arreglando como un pedacito de México . Se los recomiendo.

    To start with the positive, it had a good ambiance and has a picturesque environment for dining out…read morefor a special occasion or simply sharing a meal with family. However, the food is overpriced and the service we received was dismissive. There were a lot of flies inside, and we found a fly in our margarita after a couple of sips. When we brought this up to the server, no apologizes were made and it was brushed over. We were told they replaced it with a new one, but the glass we received after was the exact same level it had been previously, which we were told was due to restaurant policy. Important to note, the "full" glass we were given not even a full glass. We returned the drink due to not feeling confident in the change. Would not recommend this place, and would recommend driving out to some of the other further restaurants in the area!
