★★★☆☆ 3.0 Mike and Kath R · Nov 2025

Well, this was our first time here. Everyone has told us how great this Restaurant is. Our rating would have been a 1 except for the intervention of our waiter with the manager. Our waiter was awesome but Lobo’s has a reservation policy and the individuals who had reserved our table at 5:30 showed up at 4:30 and they kicked us out of our spot. Even though there were plenty of open tables at the time and we would’ve been ready to go within the next 30 minutes. The good news is the manager intervened reduced our bill and described what exactly happened and apologised.. We have never been treated like that. It was definitely a miscommunication between the front and the wait staff but the staff was not prepared. Our takeaway recommendation was if a table has been previously reserved. They tell

We love going to Lobo Del Mar on Wednesday night. It’s a destination place for friends , food and fun. You listen to a great house band plus additional family members. Family members welcome you with open arms and great smiles. We are drawn to Lobo because of the atmosphere . We love the addition to the dock and we can bring our little fur baby when we dine bayside. When we sat at Table 10. The bagpipers walk by on their was to the dock. The entertainment during band breaks are very well choreographed.

Had a wonderful experience at Lobo Café Del Mar in South Padre Island! The service was absolutely exceptional, especially from our waiter, Jesus, who was attentive and friendly from start to finish. The food was very freshly made — the fruit was crisp and flavorful, and the omelette was cooked perfectly with fresh eggs and plenty of hearty filling. The mimosas were richly poured, which is always a plus in my book. If you get the chance, definitely sit outside on the patio because the views are magnificent and really add to the atmosphere. Prices are very reasonable — you get good quality food without breaking the bank. Overall, it’s a spot worth visiting, and I’ll definitely be coming back the next time I’m in town.

Such a fun place to watch the sun set! Our server, Luz, was amazing even though they were very busy. Great food. Dog friendly. Bagpipes at sunset are a real treat.

★★★☆☆ 3.0 Amber Lee · Sep 2025

Easily the weirdest experience we had dining in SPI. Let’s start out with the parking and cleanliness, both good, lots of options to park and clean. We came into Lobo Del Mar and were seated pretty quickly, tucked into a corner with a perfect view of the sunset. They’re dog friendly on their patio which was a plus as well. We came in before the sun had set and we kid you not the sun set before we had our water or drink orders taken. We waited maybe 15 minutes before going up to a waitress to ask when we’d be served and she took our drink orders five minutes later but didn’t take our food order as it was our designated waiter’s area. Luckily staring at a sunset is a great way to pass the time, otherwise we probably would’ve left at that point. When we finally got to order we got: the fried
