25 Best Seafood Restaurants near Elsa

“The food is delicious and the waitresses are very friendly...love their flour tortillas.“

“I have to say, this place has some of the BEST seafood we’ve had in the Valley! I ordered the shrimp tacos, and hands down they are the best I’ve ever tried—fresh, flavorful, and perfectly made. We also had the fried tilapia, and it completely stood out compared to other places. Most restaurants serve tilapia that tastes oily or like burnt oil, but here it was fried perfectly—crispy on the outside, tender on the inside, and absolutely delicious without any burnt taste.

I also ordered a tostada, and it was so good that I ate it before I even remembered to take a picture! That says everything about how tasty it was.

Overall, the food here is fresh, clean, and packed with flavor. If you’re in San Carlos or nearby, you HAVE to stop by Mariscos Los Dos Carnales—you won’t regret it!“

“Tried this place out it’s very nice inside love the theme ! The lady greated us and was so helpful and recommended us on what to try ! We got the party for four birria tacos which was so good and the party for two box it came with a good amount of food for my family . I would definitely come again. They also have drive thru and can make phone orders to order ahead !“

“Can I get a big bag of dishes with French fries“

“This is a small eating place not far from the DonWes flea market on the opposite side of Business 83. Food is very good, and they have some great specials! We especially like the fried shrimp and Basa fish plates! The soup is excellent, too! Everyone we have taken there likes it!“

“Excelente servicio , excelente atención al cliente“

“Las tostadas están ricas todas pero recomiendo la de atún, aguachile negro y mango habanero mis favoritas“

“Muy buen servicio de parte de martha en donna tx“

“We had heard about this place that they have very good seafood and with my craving for fresh fried fish that I haven't been satisfied anywhere here in the mid-valley, so we stopped there and found out.... and boy did it satisfy it. Now I took off one star cuz the environment needs a little fixing. A lil facelift here and there and it will look classy to go wit the meals. Their presentation of the food was impressive.“

“I ordered the fried fish and boy was it good. It didn't taste like it came from a frozen for-days box... it tasted like they had just fished it out from the ocean. My wife ordered something else and to her liking was way more enjoyable. Her pick of the place now I hope when it's my turn she likes where I pick. Yup, I gotta top her pick. LOL!“

“me encanta sobretodo la tostada rafafa“

“was absolutely delicious! full of flavor ! get the 5 taco sampler !“

“Casa de Marisco is a staple in Weslaco. Don't let the name fool you. It isn't just seafood they serve here. But they have an awesome shrimp cocktail and the Tierra y Mar dishes are an awesome choice for those who want fried shrimp and fish while also hitting the spot for the chicken and beef fajitas. I always recommend it when asked for a good place to eat. This is my botana place. The botanita (for one) easily feeds 2 or 3. So much food. It's been a while since I've dined in but I see some familiar faces and they've always had great service. KEEP IT UP GUYS!!!“

“Wonderfully authentic Italian food. Best in the RGV. Always feel like family. Service good. I've tried, lazagna, steak piccata, Veal parmasan, and more. Everything is so good!“

“Yo voy quierer un panesito y un cafè“

Who knows…DOUBLE CHECK…ask for itemized receipt…MUCHO OJO…🤯“

“The crawfish is seasoned amazingly! Ate a 5lb. bag all by myself! Definitely recommend it 100% it is worth the price! If you haven't gone by, you surely don't know what you are missing! Extremely recommend it! ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐ ⭐, they have earned every ⭐!!!“

“I've always thought LJS is a good deal. The food was good, the service was expected and the old school feel of this location gives it a 4 star. The ice machine was not working nor was there any tea available. Not big things since I was in no hurry. The outside the building needs to be cleaned up and refurbished, a fresh/clean look. Don't change the building style though.

Dietary restrictions: Many forget the LJS added to their menu awhile back. There are some Lite items if you are trying to watch your calories.

Kid-friendliness: Definitely for kids as it is a great way to try fish or other seafood. Also they still give out their pirate hats!“

“Had such a great experience dining in. My husband is a Veracruz native. He expressed how the flavor of the food we tried was the closest thing to home he has tried in awhile. The service was excellent. We ordedered the memela, half chinameca and half Sesina. The flavor was authentic delicious and so well made. We accompanied our meal with A fresh Cucumber Agua Fresca. 10/10 Highly Recommend! Viva Veracruz!“
