Opinions de El Buen Pescador Port Isabel
great food, limited seating AVD they only take cash but they do offer an ATM. they have a limited schedule. I believe Thursday to Tuesday open at 11 am.
This is a small family owned fish and Mexican food restaurant. All you can eat fish and shrimp. If you don't like fish you can order from a Mexican menu. Reasonable prices.
So delicious! Friendly service. The whole family was happy with their meal. Best fish tacos I've ever had in my life!
I almost hesitate to tell people about this one. It's not a great looking place. Folding tables and folding chairs in a bland galley dining room with some great food. Don't tell anyone about the Chicken Tortilla Soup or they may start charging more! The unlimited fish - Amazing!
I went here with my family after looking for a seafood spot online and I was not disappointed. The food was incredibly fresh and the service was excellent. It's a fairly lowkey spot and I believe its family owned so felt relaxed. We ordered the the family seafood platter with a mix of shrimp and fish with all three flavours they offered. Everything tasted delicious. Their Hibiscus drink was great too. Special mention to the desserts that we got to go - Tres Leches one of the best ive had and the choco-flan was very loved by my family too. Highly recommend this spot :)
I was born and raised here in the area, moved to Illinois 7 years ago, came back and THIS place! Ah blew my mind. The price was fair, service was on point, the atmosphere was casual and chill, and especially the food 🤤 we had the ayce fish & shrimp (you can order different ways each time!), shrimp cocktail (homemade, Mexican style with avocado, onion, cilantro and tomato juice served with fresh fried corn tortilla chips, popcorn shrimp (best "popcorn" we've ever gotten they were whole shrimp cut up. Usually it's fake farm raised mini shrimps in disgusting batter and pre fried. Not these. These were real and my daughter loved it.), menudo to go (I had at home later that evening, the best flavor, perfect balance of hominy to meat, and to finalize we had a slice of the pecan tres leches. Everything was amazing!!! Provecho let me tell you 🙏🏻 please support this business so I can come back every. single. time. I come home to visit! 🤌
Hole in the wall seafood place with really good food. Rather than the all you can eat option, we ordered the one trip fish plate and the shrimp and fish plate, garlic flavor. The seafood was amazing but the fries were just as good! Important note: They only take cash, so hit the ATM on your way there because without it, you'll be washing dishes for a day : )
Don’t go here if you want fancy decor, modern furniture or ordinary food. This is a small place- it was quite busy when we were there but not packed. For us, it service was quick and friendly - .we went for the all you can eat fish. The waitress said it was sea bass. They also have all you can eat fish and shrimp for a few dollars more. The all you can eat fish plate came with a big serving of fish- (btw you can choose from fried, grilled, blackened or garlic )- the size of the fish surprised us as to how big it was. Would recommend for great value in a down to earth setting.
I love this low key restaurant! Their food is good every time. Today I ordered green spaghetti made in poblano pepper sauce with grilled chicken breast in a non spicy chipotle sauce. D-e-l-i-c-i-o-u-s
I was too lost to even remember to get a picture before clearing half the plate. 6 flour tacos of bistec covered in melting cheese, with their amazing orange/red sauce. Dear God, I wasn't even hungry and I still killed this thing. My only issues were the lack of sign outside making it a little hard to find and the fact that their sink had no running water. It could've been perfect.
This was my first time going here, and it was ok. The alligator information session was great! The guy had an engaging personality and really knew about alligators. I saw the big gator in the pond. I walked the whole path that surrounded the center but didn't really see much worth mentioning. There is a water treatment plant that was kind of interesting. Employees were nice and friendly.
This is my family's traditional stop when we go to the beach every year. The food is good and the dining area is a little small but comfortable. The dishes are great but this time I feel like the portions are smaller and the prices are a little too pricey. Personally, I hope they can add more lights to the restaurant. Still a good place for mariscos.
This is a small restaurant, not for big crowds. I must say, the staff and food were so good here. I wanted to come back after eating the shrimp Tacos because I made a mistake and was going for the fish tacos. I got half grilled and half fried. All were on corn tortilla which was fine, it made it bearable with holding the taco and it's very loaded! The sauce for it was delicious as well.
The food and hospitality at this place are absolutely excellent. The fish and shrimp deal is really amazing. This place definitely lacks curb appeal and the styrofoam plates aren't ideal (although possibly a sensible COVID friendly option) but once you can get over the aesthetics, it really is worth a visit. Don't forget the delicious desserts which are offered at incredible prices!
The food is good the service is good normally it's cash only atmosphere not so much it feels like a cafeteria.
The grilled fish 🐠 and shrimp 🍤 was delicious, the Alfredo pasta, not, I didn’t like it at all, the drinks can be improved, and service... horrible, too slow, drinks without straw, never around for a refill, and you have to wait 10min for the next plate on your all you can eat fish and shrimp, by the way the first plate comes with fries and cole slaw, the next one just the fish and shrimps. Honestly the service took off two stars ⭐️ on this review.
The food was very good, but when we first walked in no one greeted us. We had to walk across the restaurant to ask if we could sit ourselves or wait. I ordered all you can eat fish and shrimp and after the second plate. Our waitress did not come back to the table. Very disappointed, because the food was delicious.
