“Super cool, fun atmosphere. Pizza was wonderful, and reasonably priced considering the cost of dining on and around the island. This is my first time visiting SPI and Port Isabel and I will definitely be back to this little gem! Bartender “Slim” was awesome and a pleasure to meet, so friendly and welcoming. Give that man a raise! It was cute watching as he and my 9 year old son exchanged pleasantries.Slim to my son: “I like your mullet”My son to Slim: “I like your mustache” ?You need to stop in at this place!“

The bartender knew how to make my drink (a sidecar) without having to look it up (I checked). The food was plentiful, carefully prepared and reasonably priced given the exceptional level of quality. I drank too much good wine and felt like hell the next day, but it was worth it.“

“Located in South Padre Island, Burrito Express is a haven for foodies. Our recent visit to Burrito Express left us thoroughly impressed, as we indulged in both breakfast and lunch burritos that were nothing short of spectacular.One of the highlights of Burrito Express is the ability to enjoy breakfast burritos all day long, and we couldn't resist starting our adventure with one of their signature breakfast creations. The Egg Chorizo Breakfast Burrito was a revelation, with fluffy eggs, savory chorizo, shredded cheese, perfectly seasoned potatoes, a dollop of sour cream, and vibrant pico de gallo all wrapped in a warm tortilla. Each bite was a symphony of flavors that danced on our taste buds, leaving us craving more long after the last bite was gone.For lunch, we opted for the Barbacoa Burrito, a hearty and satisfying option that did not disappoint. Tender barbacoa beef, flavorful rice, and creamy beans were nestled inside a tortilla, creating a harmonious blend of textures and tastes that delighted our palates with every mouthful.While both burritos were undeniably delicious, it was the Egg Chorizo Breakfast Burrito that stole the show and left a lasting impression. The combination of ingredients was simply perfection, and we can't wait to return to Burrito Express to enjoy that same delectable combo again.In addition to the mouthwatering burritos, Burrito Express also boasts a friendly and welcoming atmosphere that makes every visit a pleasure. Whether you're stopping by for a quick bite on your lunch break or indulging in a leisurely brunch with friends, Burrito Express offers a dining experience that is sure to satisfy.Overall, our experience at Burrito Express was nothing short of fantastic. With its delicious food, convenient all-day breakfast options, and inviting atmosphere, it's easy to see why this gem has become a favorite among locals and visitors alike. We'll definitely be back for more burrito bliss at Burrito Express.“

“This Cafe is part of "The Palms Resort". Meet up w/friends who were staying there. The Cafe was small w/outdoor seating. The day was cold & windy so outdoor seating closed. 14 tables inside that seated 2-4 ppl/table. Reasonable prices and great service. Offer daily and early bird specials. Had apps, Reubens, coconut shrimp, quasadillas & adult beverages. Sharable dishes if you want. Lots of food. Limited parking as it's part of the 36 room resort. Friends got a room for $89/night. Right off the beach. Small & cozy rooms. Another hidden gem. They serve breakfast, lunch & dinner.Parking: Parking spaces on both sides of The Palms Resort/Cafe. Like everywhere else on S Padre island spaces are small & hard to come by.“

“Excellent place for homemade fare. Hot spot for the locals, it's worth going out of your way if you are a tourist. My meatloaf special was generous, the green beans were just like Grandma made. [Beef] enchilada plate was beefy, cheesy, and delicious. Definitely top with the included sour cream. We all had desserts, German cake, blackberry cobbler, and a cinnamon roll, all worth saving room for! The only complaint came from the kid who said his Philly cheesesteak was overcooked and oily - he's had several in PA, so he is picky about his cheesesteaks. We will definitely be back next time we are in town!“
