Nautico Island Grill

Solid experience at Nautico. The place is clean and has a great aesthetic. We ordered the shrimp tacos and the ceviche, and both were fresh and flavorful. It can get a little busy, so there was a bit of a wait, but the food made up for it. Great option for a casual lunch or dinner in South Padre.

We had heard good things about this place and happened to choose it for lunch and it was absolutely delicious. My wife and I split a side salad and the Favorite Plate lunch special with a Verde fish enchilada and fish taco. Great atmosphere and fast friendly service, we will be back!

We stopped here for dinner and enjoyed the early bird menu. We shared a half order of nachos and I really enjoyed the favorite plate. Add a glass of wine at the early bird price. Service was super friendly.

We will definitely be back! I ordered the Tex-Mex chicken enchiladas with charro beans. While the enchiladas were a little bland on their own, the salsa that came with the meal added great flavor. The rice and beans were also very good. My husband had the breakfast taco and really enjoyed it—it was huge! I didn’t catch our server’s name, but he was also tending the bar. He was extremely friendly, attentive, and knowledgeable. His positive energy really stood out, and he made sure we had a great dining experience. The restaurant itself was very clean and decorated with beautiful artwork that appeared to be for sale. Overall, 10/10!

Fast, attentive service for our group of eight. I had the fish and shrimp platter with sides of zucchini and rice. Fish, shrimp, and zucchini were all grilled and seasoned perfectly. Dining room was brightly decorated with artwork. So glad we stopped by!
