The Best Restaurants on South Padre Island, Texas | Eater Houston

"Viva SPI is the lunch and dinner counterpart to the owners’ better-known South Padre Island restaurant, Yummies Bistro, a breakfast joint only a mile away. Yummies Bistro specializes in straightforward, albeit delicious American breakfast fare, but Viva SPI offers a more upscale, Latin-influenced menu, such as a light mango ceviche and shrimp tacos, which can all be enjoyed on its expansive patio with incredible ocean views. The cocktail menu here is a hit, with several drinks, including its margaritas and palomas, incorporating fresh-pressed juices." - Lane Gillespie
