"Nautico Island Grill is one of South Padre Island’s newest restaurants. Owners and South Padre Island natives Jenna Ghilain and Briana Ghilain-Scanlan have created a hotspot for excellent grub on the island. Ultralight seafood and colorful Tex-Mex plates have garnered acclaim here. Similarly, the fish tacos — served fried, grilled, or blackened and slathered with jalapeño ranch or chipotle sauce — are among the most popular offerings. On the way to the beach? In addition to the inside and outside seating, there’s a drive-thru for online orders." - Lane Gillespie
