South Padre/Brownsville restaurant recommendations?

Thanks in advance.

For Brownsville I always enjoy going to Vermillion, probably not the absolute best in town but good food and good experience.  For breakfast try a little dive called Querido Mexico Lindo.  

Haven't been that many places on SPI but the buddy I go with always stops at Blackbeards out of nostalgia.

How about the 4 page South Padre thread?

Vera's BBQ

[GreenspointTexas 9664]

Veras - best barbacoa in the nation

Ultimo Taco - best tacos in the valley

Salome on Main - the best overall restaurant in the valley and a top 10 meal, ever for me. Worth driving to, easily

Isabel's Cafe in Port Isabel. 

You won't regret it.

If you can’t find a good taco in the valley, you suck at life

If you ain't doing this, you might as well stay home.

umm...i was unprepared for how busy it is lol 😄 not bothered, more just WOW 😎 happy to see the commerce!

any guesses if it will slow down a tad midweek, or is this it and we need to eat dinner at 430 daily (hey i'm a trophy wife, man needs to eat 😄)

feels/sounds like a combo of Port A, 30A and Waikiki 😄 

i have a long list of restaurant recs from this thread, plan to try many, not cook as frequent as we do in Port A,  breakfast only...

It’ll slow down midweek.

Dirty Al's for (delicious) artery clogging seafood on SPI

Joe’s Oyster Bar in PI is *great* for your fried seafood and oyster fix.  Yummies is one of the best breakfasts anywhere, but you‘ll pay for it.

I find The Palm on the Beach to be hit or miss, when it’s on it’s very good but they can crank out duds sometimes and they shouldn’t at their prices. Senor Donkey is kitsch but their ceviche is RIGHT. Ceviche Ceviche is takeout only but extremely good. 
 

In Brownsville you can’t go wrong with The Vermillion.

This is a good breakfast.  My cousin owns a condo a short walk down the road from this place.  He goes there every time he's in town (and so do we).
