South texas eats at its best! Stumbled upon this restaurant and was shocked at the value, quality, and quantity of the food.Absolutely recommend!

Stopped by around noon n it was busy. My first thought as soon as i walked in was. Wow. This place is huge. The dining areas are huge. The atmosphere was cozy. The people were older generations but thats great. Cuz then u know there aint no issues. The lemonade wasnt too tart. It was delicious. My waitress took my order fast even helped me cuz it was my first time. I checked out the food pics posted on n i thought the seafood looked great.My only issue, n its not a big issue. Is the booth i was sitting at. Either i was too big or the booth was too small. But not a big deal. Plenty of tables to have sat at.I had the cat fish n 5 fried shrimpAll I could say is oh wow. It was so amazingly fresh. The shrimp still had a fresh flavor of tasting just caughtm n the fried cat fiish, amazing. I especially notice the shredded lettuce n dice tomatoes. Completely fresh. I am so upset i did not know about this resturant sooner. Definately a place to check out for lunch n get the seafood. I specificately came here for fried fish n shrimp n they did not dissapoint. I will definately be coming back n i will be bringing guest. However i will be sitting at a table instead of a booth. But i will not let that affect the score. 5 outta 5 for me. Didnt run into n e issues.

Cocktail shrimp sauce was delicious but shrimp was over cooked. Beef and shrimp plate excellent! And plenty for two people easily. Flour tortillas home made delicious. My Ribeye steak properly seasoned and cook my shrimp not hot as in temp. Still delicious. Overall as a self taught chef/cook. They had all the great ingredients to take it to a higher level but I believe they can get there but they need to temp and taste their food more often to assure food temp and quality

Had the #47 and it was yummmmmy!

Corpus has a lot of Mexican restaurants. Most of the do breakfast. All about the same. Small differences but all pretty average. I usually order the machacado con huevo plate if they have it. If not, barbacoa con huevo plate. They had the machacado and they loaded it down. Almost more machacado than eggs. The beans and potatoes were good. Only thing lacking was the salsas. Both were plain. Service was good too.

Greeted when I came in and immediately asked what I liked to drink. Service was good. Food was great! First time here, will definitely come here again.

GREAT FOOD!!! BEEN GOING THERE SINCE they 1ST OPEN.They have expanded their rooms from one 2dining area, to 3 dining area.Was very impress, with services, and food had not change.Does need painting.A little TLC in the cosmetic dept.

No drive thru. And I specifically ordered a menu item that was missing the cheese that was supposed to be included. The lemonade is good but it took a good min to get my order. There was ppl outside asking for money so I just gave them some tacos.

Been here twice so far. Was empressed invited by a good friend. First time I had fried drum and shrimp. It was not over cooked and fresh ? the great value.Second time was the enchiladas plate. Best I have had in a very long time.
