My wife uttered, "this food is better than some of the restaurants on South Padre". South Padre Island is a frequent vacation spot of ours and I must agree with my wife, sweet baby Jesus, the food here is f'ing delicious. This will be out go-to spot when we return to Commerce.

What a great experience! Definitely ask for the waitress Irene! She was amazing! All of her recommendations for my family were great! We ate all of it. I love a place where yes the food is good, but the service is just as great! Definitely coming back and highly recommend eating here! Small town vibes!

Seafood is ok not as well seasoned taste like it's straight out the ocean on to your plate

Ordered a seafood platter for 2 and it only came with 4 pieces of shrimp, 1 crab cluster, and 1 potato with some sausage.
The only thing delicious here was the fountain soda. Shrimp soup was bland. It was loaded with shrimp and vegetables just not much of flavor and if you make them aware of it, they offer you fix it to your liking with the bottled hot sauce they have. The Shrimp cocktail was the same. Loaded but bland. I recommend you sit near the cashiers if you want to feel some air conditioning. It was very toasty just about everywhere else in the restaurant.

Ordered takeout for lunch on my birthday and EVERYONE enjoyed it!Between us we tried the gumbo, fried catfish filets, fried oysters, fried shrimp, and chicken nuggets. Everything was wonderful. This was our first experience with El Golfo, but it won’t be our last.
