Mexiquito Restaurant

Update: Nov. 2023. Everything I wrote below still holds true.
The food was delicious. The salsa was spicy enough to give you the sniffles. :-) Staff friendly and attentive. And it was extremely clean. Will definitely go back.

One of the Best Mexican breakfast. Food takes longer to be served because it’s all makes from scratch. Big portions are served. You must try the homemade flour tortillas. It is super big and delicious. The chilaquiles were little bit spicy but so delicious. When you come to South Padre Island, you must force a stop at Port Isabel to eat here. I read comments about the American breakfast served here. We didn’t order any of that so I can not provide feedback on that price. If you are looking for genuine Mexican food for a great price come here. If you want American food, you may want to look somewhere else. There is only 1 restroom for both men/ women and it’s clean also. I would definitely come back.

Fantastic contodo taco!! The breakfast tacos were great, we loved them! Lots of beans, cheese, potatoes, eggs..so yummy.

Always delicious. We always come down for Thanksgiving and come here after black Friday shopping. Food is quick, hot and tasty. The green hot sauce was perfect the orange hot sauce made me sweat.

This a great stop and it’s just off the Island on highway 100. We had great friendly service and excellent food. Just a note they serve breakfast and lunch only. However you will not leave hungry.

Amazing place to eat. Small charming feel and giant portions at great price. On vacation here but plan to eat here daily until I go home. Highly recommend

The breakfast tacos are made with 12” diameter tortillas. Good luck finishing the whole thing. Tasted great, especially with the pico de gallo. Coffee…eh, but the tacos more than made up for that. Service was fast and friendly. Great way to start off the day.

The morning leaving after a week at SPI [saturday of Memorial day weekend], we tried going to that breakfast spot on the island. You all know it. It was packed at 9:15a, so we got back in the car and headed over the QI bridge into Port Isabel where we happened to see the Mexiquito restaurant open for breakfast. Sign on door indicated patrons needed masks on to enter but that was not stringently observed. Table service. The breakfast was just what we had in mind. My bisquits with sausage gravy was a plateful with light scratch bisquits and creamy sausage gravy perfectly seasoned. The best ever. A side of bacon and coffee and I'm ready for the long drive home. My better half had the migas that included refried beans and shredded potato frits. So much food on each plate we packed it to take home. It is great to find another great breakfast place in the area, so next year we'll be parking ourselves here for mornings out.

I think they forgot about us. It was very busy. The waitress apologized. Our food portion was smaller than the 1st time we came. We will try it again. It was a busy day.

Very impressed with our food! We had the cheese nachos, which were surprisingly delicious. Also had the cheese enchilada plate and the Mexican plate. Food was excellent and service was very fast and friendly. Highly recommend!

Traditional Meciquito food at an amazing price. I hope this review won't make this restart too properly and prices change. The staff is so friendly and the food is amazing!!!

This place was amazing. The staff was friendly and helpful and the food was amazing. Angie was very attentive to customers even though the table belonged to other waitresses, not saying everyone else wasn't helpful but she was awesome. The tortillas were huge and delicious. We will be visiting this place again.

The food was outstanding. Look at the size of the burrito shell! The portions are huge. The prices are very reasonable. The restaurant is small so you have to watch closely or you will drive right by. They do have parking on the side street. We stopped for take out about 11:15 am and it was already busy. But you won't be disappointed so do stop and enjoy!!

Good mexican food. Take out during Covid This was the delux meal with enchiladas,rice beans,carne asada, 4 picadillo tostadas with chips and salsa for about $14.

Fast and friendly service. The Texas size breakfast tacos are AMAZING. They aren't just huge, but they are delicious and made with fresh ingredients. The homemade flour tortillas was top notch!

Food was great, they serve you a humongously large flour tortilla with breakfast plate. I enjoyed my breakfast. I'd come back again.

Tacos are huge. My chorizo and bean taco was a bit bland. I did ask for salsa ranchera and that did the trick to enjoy my HUGE taco. Everyone was really nice !

Eat in authentic Mexican restaurant. We had tacos de bistec 3 generously portioned tacos topped with cilantro, onion, avacado, and queso with fried onion, rice, and refried beans on the side. Very courteous staff. Great place to eat.

This place is a hidden gem!
Great food, great service and the prices are incredible.

Great food, friendly staff, reasonable prices.
