The corn tortillas were okay, my brother and I ordered the crazy nachos, I asked for no meant but with everything else and she came out with just plastic disgusting cheese. The lady who served me was okay but all the staff definitely had an attitude. If you were to come here I'd definitely recommend to do a u turn and think again.

Bistec Tacos
Meli G.

The place was empty probably because it was a Monday. They had nice music in the background. The service was good and fast didn't wait too long for our food ,we got bistec tacos and chips and salsa. The salsa wasn't too shabby but it was okay they also had green salsa which was pretty good but not so spicy. The tacos were okay not the best but it will do if you're not sure to what to eat. Overall the place was okay.

6 Tacos Locos Bistek $12
Mike V.

Tried this local taco shop on a Wednesday night at about 10:20 pm. It was packed!! I was very excited that it was packed because that must mean they have great food right?! Ehh...... yeah. The food was decent, but the service was nothing to write home about. I ordered the Locos Special Plate which is 6 mini street tacos on corn tortillas with queso fresco, onions and cilantro and I chose the Bistek as my meat. You can also choose barbacoa, chicken, pastor, or chicharron. I also ordered the side of beans which were excellent! I ordered all of this to go since it was pretty warm in the dining area and there were lots of people waiting to order at the window, waiting for a table to be cleaned, and people who already ordered scattered just to make it a little more confusing for people walking in to not know what to do. If you don't understand Spanish, you're even more out of luck as it's even tougher to judge where to go. I patiently waited about 20 minutes for my food which was expected since I was a first hand witness to all of the chaos. Then 30 minutes rolled by and people who ordered after me got their food. I politely asked if my order was finished and the poor girl had no clue where it was. I located it sitting on the counter in a to go bag and asked if that was it and it took them a few minutes to figure it out but they confirmed it was indeed mine. Whew If it wasn't for the decent quality and taste of the food, green salsa, and those beans, my star rating wouldn't have been as good. I'll probably be back again, need to try them at a less busy time.

Bistec tacos
Rick Y.

I ordered 3 tacos bistec and 3 tacos Trompo. Both were on corn tortilla with everything. I was not blown away by the tacos even with homemade salsa. The frijoles especiales were pretty good (bacon, white cheese, onion, etc). The potato was probably the worst thing we had. Bland (no flavor) with this layer of thick cheese . Just nothing to get excited. They are open till 3 a.m. so it has some appeal but probably won't be coming back. -Rick

Great prices and the tacos are to DIE for!! Very authentic and delicious.  This is the best tacos around SPI!!

Wanted some authentic Mexican food while on vacation and found this awesome place. The food was…read moreabsolutely delicious, and the service was outstanding. We enjoyed watching the FIFA championship while sipping on refreshing aguas frescas, which made the experience even better. If you're looking for authentic Mexican food with a great atmosphere and friendly service, I highly recommend this place!

Stopped in to order food to go. While waiting the woman manager or owner decides to meet with all…read morethe wait and kitchen staff about ten feet away from me. I am on my phone watching Facebook reels. She started to talk loudly to them about things she was not happy about and got louder and louder and got more and more descriptive of things she was not happy about. She spoke Spanish to them and I think she assumed I did not understand Spanish. It got to the point that I felt embarrassed for the employees and I raised the volume on my phone so that I did not have to hear what was being said. It did not work! That made me very upset and I began to get a tight knot in my stomach. She was very loud and talked to them in a very condescending and mean manner. I lost my appetite!!! I could only take so much. I got up from my chair, walked over, interrupted the meeting to motion my waiter to me and told him to please cancel my order because I did not like what was happening in front of customers. I said it was not right. And, I made sure to look at her when I said that. I also said I will never return and walked out. I feel sorry for the employees. I really hope she did not take it out on them. But, I had to say something. This happened exactly as I have written it. The woman did not respond to me in any way. I think she was shocked.

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.

We had another fantastic experience at Mahi Nic! The food is consistently delicious, the prices are…read morevery reasonable, and the service is always friendly, attentive, and welcoming. 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!
