The Reef is a Mexican restaurant located in Texas City, offering a unique Aztec-inspired culinary experience. The menu features a variety of fresh and flavorful dishes, including quesadillas, seafood enchiladas, and homemade flour tortillas. The restaurant's bar is a standout feature, with a large, wraparound design that accommodates groups for a lively night out. The food quality is generally good, with customers praising items like Pollo poblano, carne guisada, and beef burrito. However, some diners have noted that portions can be on the smaller side and that prices may be a bit high. The atmosphere is described as nice and clean, though some feel it needs something extra. There is an open dance floor and ample TVs for sports viewing, but the noise level near the bar can be high. Additionally, the restaurant's name and signage may be misleading, as it does not accurately reflect the Mexican-focused menu, which can confuse some diners expecting a seafood-centric establishment. Overall, The Reef is earning a reputation for good food, attentive wait staff, and decent bathrooms, making it a place worth returning to.
