Great Seafood Restaurants by the Beach 

With its warm tropical weather and the Gulf of Mexico right on our doorstep, SPI offers some of the best fishing in the country — so you can be sure there will be plenty of fresh catches at local seafood restaurants. Enjoy waterfront views as you eat your weight in local and seasonal seafood options fresh from the fishing boat. Shrimp, fish, crab, oysters — take your pick. Whether you choose to dine at a charming seaside shack or a swanky seaside restaurant, you have not experienced the SPI culinary scene until you taste some of our wild-caught seafood selections. 

Southern Soul Food Restaurants in South Padre Island

Southern soul food is the ultimate comfort food, and in Texas, this culinary treat is not to be missed. While the dishes may sound familiar, like mac and cheese, ham hocks, brisket or okra, the depth of flavors you'll experience are out of this world. Spicy, savory, sweet and succulent — all this and more describes our local authentic, home-cooked soul food restaurants.  

Right by the Border

Whether you have a taste for some authentic Mexican food or our state's signature Tex-Mex, SPI has tons of options to choose from. You may notice that South Padre Island is just a hop, skip and a jump from the border. That means we boast some of the best Mexican cuisine in the Lone Star State. So, whether you're craving a signature mole or shrimp fajitas grilled to perfection, just ask our friendly KOA staff for a few recommendations.

SPI Restaurants for the Adventurous Palate

While SPI may feel like an isolated bit of paradise, our small strip plays host to some of the most exciting culinary trends. If you're in the mood for something new or exotic, South Padre has a restaurant for you. Sample some delicious sushi, Thai or Asian fusion dishes. Or, see what's coming out of New Orleans with some of the best cajun food this side of Bourbon Street. There's also a whole assortment of healthy, vegan restaurants if you are looking to keep things light during your vacation.
